Ushio stock holds near JPY 2,000 as investors weigh earnings

Ushio stock (ISIN JP3156400008) traded at JPY 2,000 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on September 22, 2026, giving the shares a dated market anchor as investors assess the latest operating figures. The company reported revenue of JPY 120.4 billion and operating profit of JPY 8.1 billion for the nine months ended December 31, 2025.

Revenue sets the operating baseline

Ushio reported JPY 120.4 billion in revenue for the nine months ended December 31, 2025, compared with JPY 118.7 billion in the corresponding period a year earlier, an increase of 1.4 percent. Operating profit reached JPY 8.1 billion in the same period, compared with JPY 7.5 billion previously, a gain of 8.0 percent.

The comparison points to profit growing faster than sales during the reported period. For investors, that difference makes operating leverage more important than the headline revenue change, particularly because Ushio serves both industrial light sources and visual display applications.

Margin improvement matters more

Ushio's operating margin was 6.7 percent for the nine months ended December 31, 2025, up from 6.3 percent in the prior-year period. The 0.4 percentage-point improvement gives the earnings trend a more constructive operating signal than revenue alone.

The stock traded at JPY 2,000 on September 22, 2026, while the 52-week range stood between JPY 1,650 and JPY 2,340. The price was therefore JPY 340 below the yearly high and JPY 350 above the low, placing the shares closer to the midpoint than to either extreme.

Ushio stock stays range bound

The market data place Ushio stock inside a defined annual range rather than at a fresh extreme. The key measurable contrast is the 1.4 percent revenue increase against the 8.0 percent operating-profit increase in the latest nine-month reporting period.
