Hitachi (ISIN JP3788600009) joined Anthropic's Critical Infrastructure Defense Program as a founding partner on October 9, 2026, while Hitachi stock was trading at EUR 32.13 at Lang & Schwarz at 11:53 a.m. CEST, up 2.32 percent versus the prior close of EUR 31.40. AFP reported that the program targets cyber defense for power, water, manufacturing and transportation control systems.

Three milestones shaped 2026

Hitachi's latest AI and infrastructure sequence began with first-quarter results dated June 10, 2026. Revenue reached JPY 2.71 trillion for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, up 20.00 percent from the comparable period, while adjusted EBITA reached JPY 294.30 billion, up 39.50 percent, according to Note.

On September 3, 2026, Hitachi launched HMAX Cyber, an operational resilience service for business continuity in the AI era. On October 9, 2026, the company added its operational-technology expertise to Anthropic's program, linking the latest initiative to a business that generated JPY 10.59 trillion in fiscal year 2025, according to AFP.

What does the AI program add?

The program gives Hitachi a role in working groups that integrate Anthropic's Claude models into products and services used by critical-infrastructure operators. Hitachi said it will use insights from the program to enhance HMAX Cyber and strengthen cybersecurity for industrial control systems, extending its position across digital systems and services, energy, mobility and connective industries.

For investors, the important comparison is between the new cybersecurity activity and the operating base already visible in the first-quarter numbers. Revenue grew 20.00 percent year over year, while adjusted EBITA grew 39.50 percent, giving the AI initiative a concrete earnings backdrop rather than a standalone technology announcement.

Results date sets the next test

Hitachi's next reporting date is October 28, 2026, according to Investing.com. The same page lists a 12-month average target of JPY 6,600 and 12 analyst Buy ratings, while the Tokyo share price was quoted at JPY 5,669 at 3:30 p.m. JST on October 9, 2026.
