- Kioxia reported record July-September revenue as AI data-center demand lifted storage sales.
- The company expects limited sequential growth in the October-December quarter, with shipment timing and currency effects weighing on the outlook.
- Investors will focus on whether enterprise-storage orders support stronger growth in the January-March quarter.
Kioxia Holdings reported record results for the July-September quarter on October 30, but its outlook for the following quarter points to a much slower pace of expansion. The company said AI-related data-center demand remains strong, while smartphone and PC demand is weaker. The results and management commentary are covered in the Investing.com earnings call transcript.
What has changed since the last report
The latest Lang & Schwarz quote is below the level cited in the previous report. The real-time quote of Kioxia stock showed the share at 58.52 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 15:12 CET on Wednesday, November 4, 2026.
Kioxia's revenue reached 2,480 billion Japanese yen in the three months ended September 30. Non-GAAP operating profit came to 1,988.3 billion yen, while non-GAAP net income reached 1,348.6 billion yen. The company said higher average selling prices and increased bit shipments supported the result.
December Guidance Limits Near-Term Momentum
For October through December, Kioxia guides for revenue of 2,500 billion yen and non-GAAP operating profit of 2,000 billion yen. Management expects bit shipments to remain broadly flat sequentially, partly because some customer orders were pulled into the September quarter and other enterprise-storage orders require longer production lead times.
The company expects a stronger contribution in the January-March quarter. It also assumes an exchange rate of 157 yen to the US dollar for the December quarter, creating an estimated 55 billion yen headwind to operating profit. Kioxia said NAND supply and demand should remain tight through calendar 2027, supported by AI and data-center demand.
Kioxia's investor-relations materials list the October 30 financial-results release and an interim dividend of 30 yen per share after the stock split. The company also said it aims to return excess cash to shareholders over the medium to long term after funding growth investment and maintaining financial strength.
The Nikkei 225 market environment remains the relevant benchmark for Japan-listed shares.
