artience stock (ISIN JP3606600009) was last at JPY 5,130 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on October 7, 2026 at 11:08 a.m. JST, up 0.39 percent from the previous close. The chemical maker's first-half operating profit rose 34.1 percent to JPY 12.6 billion, giving the latest results a stronger earnings profile.

Revenue reaches JPY 189.7 billion

According to MINKABU on October 2, 2026, artience reported first-half revenue of JPY 189.7 billion for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026, up 12.4 percent from the prior-year period. The company said all business segments recorded higher revenue and profit, with overseas liquid inks and ultraviolet inks among the stronger contributors.

The operating result reached JPY 12.6 billion, compared with JPY 9.4 billion a year earlier. Smart Stock Notes reported an operating margin of 6.6 percent, up from 5.6 percent, while the package segment generated revenue of JPY 52.0 billion and operating profit of JPY 3.6 billion.

Raw materials remain the counter-factor

The earnings improvement was supported by price revisions, cost reductions and higher sales, but input costs remain the central test for the second half. Smart Stock Notes said artience expects the impact of higher raw-material prices to reach JPY 17.0 billion if the market environment persists through the fiscal year.

The company maintained its fiscal 2026 operating-profit forecast of JPY 23.0 billion. First-half operating profit therefore represented 54.8 percent of the annual plan, leaving JPY 10.4 billion to be generated in the second half, according to Smart Stock Notes.

Tokai Tokyo lifts target to JPY 5,300

As Yahoo Finance reported on September 24, 2026, Tokai Tokyo Intelligence Laboratory kept its Neutral rating and raised the artience price target from JPY 4,400 to JPY 5,300. The new target is 3.3 percent above the October 7 price, a modest gap that places execution and input-cost control at the center of the valuation debate.

artience also has its next third-quarter results scheduled for November 13, 2026, with the results briefing set for November 20, 2026, according to Smart Stock Notes. Those dates will put the JPY 23.0 billion operating-profit plan against the rising-cost hurdle.
