Tokyo Electron entered the second half of fiscal 2027 with a stronger earnings outlook and a new capital-return program after record first-half growth. The company is now expected to convert elevated AI-related demand into shipments, revenue and margins through March.
Investing.com, carrying a Reuters report published October 30, said revenue for the July-September quarter rose 20.9 percent year over year to 588.50 billion yen. Attributable net income increased 26.7 percent to 104.78 billion yen. For the six months ended September, revenue advanced 41.3 percent to 1.67 trillion yen, while operating income rose 67.2 percent to 506.78 billion yen.
Forecast raises delivery demands
Tokyo Electron introduced its first full-year forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027. The company expects revenue of 3.7 trillion yen, operating income of 1.169 trillion yen and attributable net income of 865 billion yen. The operating-income target implies growth of 87.1 percent from the previous fiscal year.
Management linked the outlook to expanding investment in AI servers and data-center infrastructure, alongside higher customer spending on semiconductor production equipment. For investors, the stronger forecast improves visibility but also increases sensitivity to customer investment schedules, production capacity and delivery timing.
Buyback supports shareholder returns
The board approved a share repurchase program of up to 150 billion yen, covering as many as 25 million shares from November 1, 2026, through March 31, 2027. The year-end dividend forecast was set at 108 yen per share after the five-for-one split effective October 1.
