Kusuri No Aoki stock was trading at JPY 4,129 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on October 7, 2026 at 11:30 a.m. JST, down 1.74 percent from the previous close. The first-quarter figures released on October 1 showed net income rising 36.4 percent year over year to JPY 6.866 billion, according to Japan IR.

Profit growth outpaces sales

For the quarter ending August 20, 2026, Kusuri No Aoki generated JPY 159.042 billion in net sales, 13.8 percent above the prior-year period. Operating income reached JPY 8.424 billion, an increase of 16.0 percent, while ordinary income rose 17.6 percent to JPY 8.568 billion, Japan IR reported.

The profit mix is the important distinction for investors. Net income expanded faster than revenue, and basic earnings per share reached JPY 72.30 versus JPY 50.24 in the year-earlier quarter, a 43.9 percent increase. The company retained its full-year operating-income forecast of JPY 32.0 billion and net-income forecast of JPY 19.0 billion.

Analyst targets remain restrained

A European brokerage kept its Neutral rating on October 2 but raised its price target from JPY 4,150 to JPY 4,460, according to Yahoo Finance. The revised target lies 8.0 percent above the JPY 4,129 intraday price, putting the brokerage view above the broader analyst range.

The published consensus is more cautious. Investing.com lists five analysts at Neutral, with five Holds, an average 12-month target of JPY 4,040, a high of JPY 4,200 and a low of JPY 3,750. The average target lies 2.2 percent below the October 7 price.

Stock remains below its yearly high

The trading picture adds a valuation counterweight to the strong quarter. Kusuri No Aoki's JPY 4,129 price is JPY 686 below the 52-week high of JPY 4,815 and JPY 778 above the low of JPY 3,351, while market capitalization stood at JPY 392.1 billion on October 7, 2026.

The company's operating progress is therefore running ahead of its share-price performance in the October 7 session. For investors, the next test is whether the retained full-year plan can convert the first-quarter profit growth into sustained margin improvement.
