Advantest stock (ISIN JP3122400009) was trading at EUR 229.50 at Lang & Schwarz on October 14, 2026, while the latest analyst target points to continued attention on the semiconductor tester maker. As IBTimes reported on October 7, 2026, Jefferies had raised its target to JPY 41,000 from JPY 38,500.

Guidance rose with first-quarter results

Advantest reported first-quarter revenue of JPY 367.5 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, up 39.3 percent year over year. Operating income reached JPY 190.0 billion, an increase of 53.3 percent, and the operating margin was 51.7 percent.

Simple Tech Trend reported that net income was JPY 174.8 billion in the same quarter, up 93.8 percent year over year. The report also said the company raised full-year revenue guidance to JPY 1.714 trillion from JPY 1.420 trillion and operating income guidance to JPY 846.0 billion from JPY 627.5 billion.

What does the margin mean?

The 51.7 percent operating margin is the key quality check for the next report because the quarter also included favorable product mix, foreign-exchange effects, economies of scale and an inventory write-down reversal, according to Simple Tech Trend. That mix makes the 39.3 percent revenue increase easier to read than the headline margin alone.

Three dated operating milestones

On April 27, 2026, Advantest published its fiscal 2025 results, according to its investor-relations page. On July 29, 2026, the company published its first-quarter report, with revenue of JPY 367.5 billion and operating income of JPY 190.0 billion, as summarized by Stock Analysis. The October 7, 2026 analyst update then put JPY 41,000 on the target line.

Next dates for Advantest

The next scheduled reporting date is October 28, 2026, according to Stock Analysis. That report will test whether quarterly profitability can remain close to the 51.7 percent first-quarter level while the raised annual plan requires revenue of JPY 1.714 trillion.
