Margin improves in the second quarter
Sumco's second-quarter 2026 EBITDA margin reached 26.90 percent, exceeding the company's 26.00 percent forecast by 0.90 percentage points. Yahoo Finance reported that second-quarter sales were JPY 113.60 billion, JPY 1.60 billion above the company's forecast. The period covered the three months ended June 30, 2026.
Tokyo valuation stays volatile
The TSE share price finished its October 20 session at JPY 2,492.00, while the 52-week range stood at JPY 1,131.00 to JPY 5,939.00 in the latest market update. The latest Tokyo price was 58.04 percent below the 52-week high. Sumco's market capitalization was JPY 871.5 billion, and trading volume reached 12,393,700 shares on October 20, 2026.
The valuation picture is shaped by current losses. Sumco's second-quarter net loss was JPY 4.43 billion, compared with net income of JPY 34.00 million in the second quarter of 2025, while revenue rose 10.00 percent year over year to JPY 113.60 billion. The figures combine stronger sales with continued earnings pressure.
November 11 is the next date
Sumco is expected to report its third-quarter 2026 results on November 11, 2026, after the market close, according to MarketBeat. The page lists consensus revenue of USD 756.48 million and a consensus loss of USD 0.0088 per share, but labels the date as an estimate. Sumco's investor-relations page reports fiscal 2025 sales of JPY 409.6 billion and a net loss of JPY 11.7 billion for the year ended December 31, 2025, according to Sumco.
Price and analyst target
For investors, the key contrast is clear: the JPY 4,000.00 UBS target points to a substantial valuation gap, while the second-quarter loss keeps profitability central to the November update. Sumco makes silicon wafers for semiconductor manufacturers across Japan, the United States, China, Taiwan, South Korea and Europe.
