Acom stock (ISIN JP3108600002) was last at JPY 460.50 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange at 10:29 a.m. JST on October 7, 2026. The consumer-finance group reported higher revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, but sharply lower attributable profit, giving the November results date added importance.

Revenue rises as profit falls

According to Quartr, Acom's Q1 FY2027 operating revenue rose 7.7 percent year over year to JPY 88.7 billion. Operating profit increased 5.3 percent to JPY 29.7 billion, while ordinary profit grew 4.9 percent to JPY 29.6 billion.

The pressure appeared below operating profit. Profit attributable to owners fell 43.9 percent year over year to JPY 19.1 billion, and basic earnings per share declined to JPY 12.22 from JPY 21.78, according to Quartr.

Provisions shape the outlook

Acom's provision for bad debts increased 14.9 percent year over year to JPY 28.5 billion in the June 2026 quarter. Financial expenses also rose 38.2 percent to JPY 2.3 billion, making credit costs the key counterweight to the company's revenue growth.

Management's FY2027 forecast calls for operating revenue of JPY 356 billion, up 5.4 percent, but operating profit of JPY 98 billion, down 2.4 percent. The forecast for profit attributable to owners is JPY 63.8 billion, a decline of 19.9 percent, and the Q1 report carried no revision to that outlook, according to Quartr.

Analysts see limited upside

The analyst picture is restrained. Investing.com lists a Neutral consensus based on four analysts, with four Hold ratings, zero Buy ratings and zero Sell ratings.

The average 12-month target is JPY 497.5, with a high of JPY 510 and a low of JPY 490, according to Investing.com. Relative to JPY 460.50, the average target lies 8.0 percent above the price, but the consensus leaves credit provisions as the central earnings variable.

Stock approaches the next checkpoint
