A major US securities firm assigned Daikin a neutral rating and a JPY 22,500.00 target on September 30, 2026, according to Yahoo Finance. The latest quarterly figures show why the target matters: fiscal 2027 first-quarter revenue rose 17.50 percent to JPY 1.43 trillion, while operating profit increased 7.60 percent to JPY 130.56 billion.

Revenue growth outruns profit

The quarter ended June 30, 2026, and the August 4 release date are listed on Daikin's investor-relations page. Smart Stock Notes reports that revenue reached JPY 1,426.81 billion, compared with JPY 1,213.82 billion a year earlier, while operating profit rose from JPY 121.30 billion to JPY 130.56 billion.

The operating margin was 9.20 percent in fiscal 2027 first quarter, down from 10.00 percent a year earlier. That gap is the central issue for investors: sales expanded by 17.50 percent, but operating profit grew by only 7.60 percent.

Analyst target meets slower margins

The same quarterly report shows Daikin's chemical business revenue rising 28.80 percent to JPY 77.19 billion, with operating profit increasing 75.60 percent to JPY 11.46 billion. The air-conditioning and refrigeration business remained the core operation, generating JPY 1,325.05 billion in revenue and JPY 118.23 billion in operating profit during the quarter.

Daikin's stock-market profile lists 14 analyst ratings and an average 12-month target of JPY 24,638.20. The JPY 22,500.00 neutral target from the September 30 note is lower than that average, making margin conversion and the next quarterly update important reference points.

Stock valuation and next report

Daikin had a market capitalization of JPY 5.8 trillion and a 52-week range of JPY 17,100.00 to JPY 26,440.00 on October 7, 2026. The finance data also showed 81,900 shares traded at the Tokyo listing at 9:00 a.m. JST on that date.

Investing.com identifies Daikin Industries, Ltd. as ticker 6367 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange and gives November 5, 2026, as the next earnings date. That report will show whether the strong revenue pace is translating into a wider operating margin.
