Tokyo Electron entered the second half of fiscal 2027 with record first-half growth, a new full-year forecast and a share repurchase program. The company must now convert strong AI-related demand into shipments and earnings through March.
Tokyo Electron stock traded at 52.21 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 15:10 CET on Thursday, November 12, 2026. That was 2.15 percent below the 53.36 euros quoted in the latest own report at 15:11 CET on Wednesday, November 11, a separate comparison from the Xetra session.
Stronger outlook raises the bar
Tokyo Electron introduced its first full-year forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027. The company expects revenue of 3.7 trillion yen, operating income of 1.169 trillion yen and attributable net income of 865 billion yen.
Investing.com, carrying a Reuters report published on October 30, said second-quarter revenue rose 20.9 percent year over year to 588.50 billion yen. Attributable net income increased 26.7 percent to 104.78 billion yen. For the six months ended September, revenue advanced 41.3 percent to 1.67 trillion yen, while operating income rose 67.2 percent to 506.78 billion yen.
The stronger forecast reflects expanding investment in AI servers and data centers alongside higher customer spending on semiconductor production equipment. For investors, the outlook improves visibility but also increases sensitivity to customer investment schedules, production capacity and delivery timing.
Buyback supports shareholder returns
The board approved a share repurchase program of up to 150 billion yen, covering as many as 25 million shares from November 1, 2026, through March 31, 2027. The company also set its year-end dividend forecast at 108 yen per share after the five-for-one stock split effective October 1.
Tokyo Electron's investor-relations calendar lists the fiscal 2027 third-quarter earnings release for February 5, 2027. That report will provide the next scheduled checkpoint on second-half delivery and progress toward the raised targets.
