Stock level sets the reference

The September 23, 2026 figure of JPY 78,039 is the clearest dated market value available for Keyence in the current material. The same page shows a forecast range of JPY 74,137 to JPY 81,941 for that date, placing the quoted value JPY 3,902 above the lower figure and JPY 3,902 below the upper figure.

Keyence is traded in Japan under ticker 6861.T, with its primary listing on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. Its business is classified within scientific and technical instruments, a segment closely linked to factory automation, machine vision and industrial measurement.

Automation demand remains central

Keyence's investment case depends on the pace of capital spending by manufacturers, because factory automation equipment connects directly to production efficiency and inspection requirements. That makes revenue growth, operating profit and margins in the latest reported interim period the decisive figures for the next market assessment.

The dated market information also places Keyence alongside a broader Japanese equity backdrop. A September 23, 2026 market report recorded the Nikkei 225 at 65,018.95 points at the September 18 close, up 882.70 points or 1.38 percent from the previous close, providing a quantified comparison for the national market rather than a company-specific performance claim.

Keyence stock keeps its valuation focus

For investors, the important comparison is therefore between the JPY 78,039 reference value and the JPY 74,137 to JPY 81,941 forecast corridor dated September 23, 2026. The midpoint of that corridor is JPY 78,039, exactly matching the quoted reference value and leaving the stock at the center of the stated range.

That positioning makes the next reported operating figures especially relevant. A current result showing revenue, profit or margin changes against the prior comparable period would provide the evidence needed to judge whether the share valuation is being supported by operating progress.

Stock remains at JPY 78,039

Keyence stock is referenced at JPY 78,039 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange as of September 23, 2026. The value sits between the stated JPY 74,137 low and JPY 81,941 high for that date.
