Iwai Cosmo sets JPY 47,000 target

The target stands 14.8 percent above Advantest's JPY 40,930 price on October 8, 2026. Iwai Cosmo's Buy rating followed Jefferies' September 30 Buy rating with a JPY 41,000 target, according to Markets Insider.

The broader analyst picture is less aggressive than the Iwai Cosmo target. Investing.com lists a Buy consensus from 21 analysts, including 18 Buy ratings, 3 Holds and 0 Sells, with an average 12-month target of JPY 42,685.7, a high of JPY 55,000 and a low of JPY 23,000. The average target lies 4.3 percent above the October 8 price.

First-quarter revenue rose 39.3 percent

Advantest's fiscal 2026 first-quarter revenue reached JPY 367.47 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared with JPY 263.78 billion a year earlier. Net profit rose to JPY 174.78 billion from JPY 90.18 billion, according to Markets Insider.

The comparison implies a 93.8 percent year-over-year increase in net profit, alongside the 39.3 percent revenue gain. Those figures give the analyst targets a concrete operating reference, while the current valuation still depends on the next quarterly update.
