Analysts set an average JPY 8,888.90 target for Nissan Chemical stock, while the Tokyo quote stood at JPY 9,097.00 on October 7, 2026. As Investing.com showed on September 29, 2026, five analysts rated the stock Buy and four rated it Hold, with the average target at JPY 8,888.90.

First-quarter profit sets the pace

Nissan Chemical reported JPY 78.79 billion in sales, JPY 21.91 billion in operating profit and JPY 16.84 billion in net profit for the first quarter of fiscal 2026, the period ending March 2027. According to Note.com on September 21, 2026, the three figures were record highs for a first quarter, while operating profit rose 21.10 percent from a year earlier.

The operating profit margin reached 27.80 percent in the quarter, compared with 25.90 percent in the same period a year earlier. Functional Materials supplied much of the improvement, with segment sales of JPY 32.60 billion and operating profit of JPY 10.70 billion, according to Note.com.

Semiconductor materials lead growth

Semiconductor materials sales increased 49.00 percent year over year in the first quarter, with multilayer materials up 96.00 percent and EUV materials up 23.00 percent. That mix matters because Functional Materials generated JPY 38.60 billion of the company's JPY 66.80 billion fiscal 2026 operating profit forecast, according to Note.com.

The counterweight is concentration: semiconductor materials account for a large share of profit, exposing results to the semiconductor cycle and demand in China, Taiwan and South Korea. Nissan Chemical is also preparing Rhizonics, a rice herbicide with a JPY 15.00 billion peak sales target, for launch in 2027, according to the same September 21, 2026 report.
