Kubota (ISIN JP3266400005) generated JPY 880.27 billion in Q2 FY26 revenue and JPY 100.4 billion in earnings, according to Yahoo Finance. The Tokyo-listed manufacturer also posted GAAP earnings per share of JPY 88.51 for the quarter, against a JPY 56.89 estimate.
Quarterly figures beat estimates
Q2 FY26 revenue exceeded the JPY 813.18 billion estimate by JPY 67.09 billion, while earnings of JPY 100.4 billion came with an 11.41 percent profit margin, Yahoo Finance shows. The earnings comparison was also wide: actual GAAP earnings per share of JPY 88.51 stood JPY 31.62 above the Q2 FY26 estimate.
Kubota's investor-relations page lists an October 5, 2026 notice concerning the status of its own-share repurchase program, placing capital returns alongside the latest operating figures, according to Kubota.
Analysts split after the results
The analyst backdrop is less uniform. MarketBeat reported on October 6, 2026, that Goldman Sachs cut Kubota from Strong Buy to Strong Sell. The same report described a Moderate Buy consensus, with two Strong Buy ratings and two Sell ratings.
Yahoo Finance reported that the September 8, 2026 consensus covered nine analysts and placed the average target at JPY 3,234. Against the October 6 price of JPY 2,721, that target lies 18.9 percent above the stock price, although the rating split shows why the target is not a uniform signal.
Stock sits below its yearly high
Kubota closed at JPY 2,721 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on October 6, 2026, down JPY 8, or 0.29 percent. The session range was JPY 2,704 to JPY 2,751.50, while the 52-week range stretched from JPY 1,851.50 to JPY 3,268.00.
The market capitalization was JPY 3.1 trillion and volume reached 2,988,800 shares on October 6, 2026. The next scheduled financial-results date is November 9, 2026, according to Yahoo Finance.
Q3 results are the next checkpoint
Kubota stock closed at JPY 2,721 on October 6, 2026, with the next results date set for November 9, 2026. The combination of Q2 earnings above estimates, a share-repurchase update and the Goldman Sachs downgrade leaves operating momentum and analyst dispersion as the key points for the next report.
