The latest update is out from Micronics Japan Co., Ltd. ( (JP:6871) ).

Micronics Japan Co., Ltd. raised its consolidated forecast for the second quarter of fiscal 2026, citing stronger-than-expected demand for DRAM-related products and increased production capacity for memory probe cards, which are driving higher net sales and profits than previously projected. The company also issued its first forecast for the third quarter, anticipating continued solid sales and earnings from expanded capacity and robust memory demand, while noting that full-year growth should outpace last year’s strong expansion but remains sensitive to potential shifts in semiconductor investment, logistics disruptions, and input cost pressures amid geopolitical risks.

For the second quarter, the company now expects net sales of ¥45.7 billion and quarterly profit attributable to owners of parent of ¥9.2 billion, representing double-digit growth versus the prior outlook and a sharp improvement over the previous year’s results. For the third quarter, Micronics Japan projects net sales of ¥71.6 billion and profit of ¥15.2 billion, underpinned by high utilization of newly introduced equipment, but cautions that slower-than-expected probe card market growth or macro shocks could weigh on its full-year revenue trajectory.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:6871) stock is a Buy with a Yen14000.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Micronics Japan Co., Ltd. stock, see the JP:6871 Stock Forecast page.
