Canon Inc. (US1380983084) stock is trading around a new catalyst after the company said on September 17, 2026 that it had asked Amazon to remove certain toner cartridge offers from the platform. The move gives the shares a fresh legal and operational angle, while Canon's latest reported quarter ended on August 4, 2026.
Amazon removal takes center stage
According to Canon on September 17, 2026, the company told Amazon that several toner cartridges sold on the marketplace allegedly infringe U.S. Patent No. 12,242,222. Canon also said the identified offers were no longer available on Amazon.com at the time of the announcement.
The release named three offerings, including RitoTech, KingKJ and SKYPRINT USA, and listed the ASINs B0D6QJFNTR, B0DC9RWRTM and B0DNS84ZZM. For investors, the detail matters because the dispute is specific, dated and tied to Canon's patent portfolio rather than a broad market story.
Latest quarter still matters
Canon's most recent reported quarter ended on August 4, 2026, and the company reported sales of JPY 1,034.6 billion, operating profit of JPY 118.4 billion and net income of JPY 86.4 billion in that period. Those figures show the scale behind the shares: a billion-yen revenue base and a still solid profit line in the latest interim report.
On a year-over-year basis, quarterly revenue increased 3.2 percent, while operating profit rose 4.7 percent. That comparison is the key second lens for the stock, because the Amazon dispute lands against a backdrop of modest top-line growth rather than a sharp earnings swing.
Price and market view
CAJ stock trades on the NYSE in USD. The closing price was USD 30.84 on September 16, 2026, down 0.23 percent on the session, with volume of 1,842,611 shares and a market capitalization of USD 37.6 billion as of September 16, 2026.
That quote leaves the shares between the 52-week low of USD 27.98 and the 52-week high of USD 33.54. The stock is therefore still closer to the upper end of its yearly range, while the legal headline adds a new point of attention for the market.
