Advantest (ISIN JP3122400009) raised its fiscal 2026 revenue forecast to JPY 1,863.0 billion from JPY 1,714.0 billion on October 28, 2026. The company also lifted its operating-income forecast to JPY 967.0 billion from JPY 846.0 billion, according to the original financial-results document carried by MarketScreener.

Record first-half performance

For the six months ended September 30, 2026, revenue reached JPY 845.2 billion, up 60.5 percent from JPY 526.7 billion a year earlier. Operating income rose 96.5 percent to JPY 456.8 billion from JPY 232.4 billion.

Net income increased 116.8 percent to JPY 368.1 billion from JPY 169.8 billion. The results document attributed the growth to higher production volumes and greater complexity in AI-related semiconductors, which supported customer investment in testing equipment.

What does the outlook mean for margins?

The revised forecast implies operating income of JPY 967.0 billion on projected revenue of JPY 1,863.0 billion for fiscal 2026. The company said it would accelerate production-capacity expansion as demand for memory and other components continues to exceed supply.

Advantest also reported JPY 105.9 billion of treasury-share purchases during the first half. Financial income included JPY 54.2 billion in valuation gains on strategic investments, a factor that boosted profit beyond operating performance.

Two dates follow the results

Advantest's next disclosed event is an investor fireside chat on November 12, 2026. The company plans to file its semi-annual securities report on November 13, 2026.
