Trend Micro Delivers Strong Q1 Profit Growth Amid Softer Balance Sheet Metrics

Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

Trend Micro ( (JP:4704) ) has issued an update.

Trend Micro reported a solid start to fiscal 2026, with first-quarter consolidated net sales rising 9.4% year on year to ¥73.86 billion and operating income up 3.7% to ¥15.56 billion. Ordinary income surged 42.2% to ¥17.65 billion and net income attributable to owners jumped 32.9% to ¥11.78 billion, lifting basic earnings per share to ¥90.14 and driving a sharp improvement in comprehensive income.

Despite the earnings strength, the company’s equity ratio declined to 27.8% as total assets and net assets fell from the prior year-end, and the number of treasury shares increased slightly. Trend Micro kept its first-quarter dividend projection at zero and has yet to determine a year-end dividend for 2026, leaving capital return policy and its implications for shareholders somewhat uncertain pending full-year guidance.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:4704) stock is a Hold with a Yen5500.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Trend Micro stock, see the JP:4704 Stock Forecast page.
