Results date is October 29
Keyence is scheduled to report second-quarter fiscal 2027 results on October 29, 2026. The date was listed by Simply Wall St on October 1, 2026, and gives the next major checkpoint for the growth story.
The latest reported quarter was the first quarter of fiscal 2027. Revenue reached JPY 346.60 billion, up 33.00 percent from the first quarter of fiscal 2026, while net income rose 51.00 percent to JPY 139.10 billion, according to Simply Wall St.
What does the growth mean?
The first-quarter operating profile matters because the revenue increase was accompanied by a 40.00 percent profit margin, up from 35.00 percent in the comparable quarter, as reported by Simply Wall St. That combination leaves the October 29 report with two measurable questions: whether sales growth holds and whether the margin remains above the prior-year level.
