Daicel (ISIN JP3485800001) was trading at JPY 1,466 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on October 7, 2026, up 0.76 percent from the prior close. The specialty chemicals group delivered fiscal Q1 FY2027 revenue of JPY 152.4 billion against a JPY 144.05 billion estimate, while the next results date is set for November 5, 2026.

Q1 revenue beats the estimate

According to EDINET DB, Daicel reported JPY 152.4 billion of revenue, JPY 14.0 billion of operating income and JPY 9.4 billion of net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. Basic earnings per share came to JPY 36.65, giving the company a concrete earnings base ahead of the second-quarter update.

Revenue exceeded the published JPY 144.05 billion estimate by JPY 8.33 billion, or 5.8 percent. The comparison is important because the earnings picture is not carried by sales alone: operating income of JPY 14.0 billion and net income of JPY 9.4 billion show how much profitability investors will scrutinize in the next report.

Analysts see limited upside

Investing.com shows a Neutral consensus from 8 analysts, with 1 Buy, 5 Hold and 2 Sell ratings. The average 12-month target is JPY 1,513.75, with a low of JPY 1,260 and a high of JPY 2,400.

At JPY 1,466, the average target lies 3.3 percent above the stock price. That gap is modest beside the full target spread, leaving the November results as the next numerical test for whether the consensus can move away from its Neutral position.

Stock remains below its yearly high

Daicel's 52-week range is JPY 1,112.50 to JPY 1,658, placing the October 7 price JPY 192 below the yearly high and JPY 353.50 above the low. The company is listed under ticker 4202 and operates in specialty chemicals, with products spanning materials, healthcare, safety and engineering plastics.

The investor calendar on Daicel schedules the fiscal Q2 FY2027 results for November 5, 2026, at 1:20 p.m. Japan time. That release should clarify whether the Q1 revenue beat is translating into sustained operating profit growth.
