Yamaha Corporation (ISIN JP3942600002) was trading at JPY 1,200.50 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange at 9:35 a.m. JST on October 7, 2026, down 0.74 percent from the prior close. The central investor checkpoint is November 5, 2026, when Yamaha plans to announce its second-quarter financial statements for fiscal 2027. Yamaha lists the date on its investor-relations page.

Guidance points to higher profit

Yamaha's fiscal 2027 guidance calls for revenue of JPY 490.0 billion, operating profit of JPY 42.5 billion and profit attributable to owners of the parent of JPY 31.0 billion. According to JPX Market Explorer, operating profit guidance increased from JPY 38.0 billion, while profit guidance rose from JPY 28.0 billion and basic earnings per share guidance from JPY 63.65 to JPY 70.47.

The unchanged revenue target makes profitability the key variable for the November release. The guidance implies an operating profit margin of 8.7 percent, calculated from JPY 42.5 billion against JPY 490.0 billion of planned revenue.

Quarterly figures set the base

For the first quarter of fiscal 2027, Yamaha reported revenue of JPY 116.33 billion and earnings of JPY 10.69 billion, with a profit margin of 9.19 percent. Yahoo Finance identifies the period as Q1 fiscal 2027 and gives basic earnings per share of JPY 24.30.

That quarterly base matters because Yamaha operates across musical instruments, audio equipment and related businesses. Its fiscal-year guidance requires the company to convert the first-quarter profit contribution into stronger results during the remaining three quarters.

Consensus stays near current price

Analyst expectations remain measured. MarketScreener reports a Hold consensus from six analysts, an average target of JPY 1,241.67, a high target of JPY 1,400.00 and a low target of JPY 1,050.00. The average target lies 3.43 percent above the October 7 trading price.

Yamaha's stock traded between JPY 962.90 and JPY 1,432 over the latest 52 weeks. Its market capitalization was JPY 528.1 billion and volume reached 972,000 shares on October 7, 2026, giving the November results date a clear numerical checkpoint.
