Yokogawa Electric stock (ISIN JP3955000009) was trading at JPY 4,673 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on October 7, 2026, down 1.48 percent from the prior close. The decline puts the industrial automation company 26.0 percent below its 52-week high of JPY 6,317, while its market capitalization stood at JPY 1.2 trillion.

First quarter sets the baseline

Yokogawa's latest reported quarter ended June 30, 2026. According to Investing.com, revenue was JPY 141.348 billion and net income was JPY 12.217 billion, with earnings per share of JPY 48.27.

The quarter was softer than the preceding quarter on the same reported basis: revenue declined from JPY 170.514 billion to JPY 141.348 billion, while net income fell from JPY 13.274 billion to JPY 12.217 billion. That comparison makes quarterly execution more important than the stock's longer-term valuation narrative.

Automation remains the core business

Yokogawa supplies industrial control systems, field instruments, measurement equipment and related software for sectors including energy, chemicals, pharmaceuticals and infrastructure. Its fiscal year ended March 2026 produced revenue of JPY 604.8 billion and operating profit of JPY 82.6 billion, according to Edgechat.

The annual comparison was stronger than the latest quarter comparison: fiscal 2026 revenue increased 7.5 percent to JPY 604.8 billion, while net income rose 11.5 percent to JPY 58.1 billion. The contrast leaves investors balancing a positive annual growth record against the lower sequential first-quarter profit.

Consensus leaves room above price

According to Marketscreener, the consensus rating is Outperform from 8 analysts, with an average target of JPY 6,003.75. At the October 7 price of JPY 4,673, that target lies 28.5 percent above the share price.

The same Marketscreener page records Jefferies cutting its target to JPY 7,000 from JPY 7,500 on May 8, 2026, while retaining a Buy rating. The target change is older than the current trading session, but it highlights the gap between individual research views and the latest market price.
