Yaskawa Electric Corporation (ISIN JP3932000007) gained 3.51 percent to EUR 23.60 at Lang & Schwarz on October 27, 2026. Investing.com reported on October 20, 2026 that Goldman Sachs downgraded Yaskawa from Buy to Neutral and cut its target from JPY 5,500 to JPY 5,000. Yaskawa Electric stock was trading at EUR 23.60 at Lang & Schwarz on October 27, 2026 at 7:22 p.m. CEST, up 3.51 percent versus the Frankfurt close of October 26, 2026 at EUR 22.80.

Goldman Sachs lowers its target

The Goldman Sachs change gives investors a fresh counterpoint to Yaskawa's latest operating update. The bank also reduced its operating profit estimates for fiscal years 2028 and 2029 by an average of 10.00 percent, while its revised fiscal 2028 forecast matched Yaskawa's interim operating-profit target of JPY 72.00 billion.

The new JPY 5,000 target followed Yaskawa's second-quarter earnings announcement on October 9, 2026. The same report said the target implied 14.00 percent upside at the time, while the stock had returned 7.00 percent since Goldman Sachs added it to its Buy list in October 2025.

EUR 23.60 above the yearly low

The Frankfurt quotation closed at EUR 22.80 on October 26, 2026, leaving the Lang & Schwarz price EUR 0.80 higher. The current EUR 23.60 quote stands above the 52-week Frankfurt range low of EUR 20.24 and below the high of EUR 41.50, both dated October 27, 2026.

The price-to-earnings ratio was 30.00 and the dividend yield was 1.80 percent on October 27, 2026. Yaskawa is listed in Tokyo under ticker 6506 and operates in motion control, robotics and system engineering.

Revenue rises as profit falls

In the six months ended August 31, 2026, Yaskawa reported revenue of JPY 285.598 billion, up 9.80 percent from JPY 260.195 billion a year earlier. Operating profit fell 5.50 percent to JPY 22.058 billion from JPY 23.334 billion, while profit attributable to owners rose 4.10 percent to JPY 18.988 billion from JPY 18.247 billion, according to the company's financial report dated October 9, 2026, published by Yaskawa Electric.

The company raised its fiscal-year revenue forecast to JPY 600.00 billion from JPY 580.00 billion, but cut operating-profit guidance to JPY 57.50 billion from JPY 60.00 billion. The revision linked the sales increase to yen depreciation and the profit reduction to the new enterprise resource planning system's impact on production and shipments.

Current price and investor frame

Yaskawa's first-half figures put the stock move beside a mixed operating picture: revenue expanded, but operating profit declined as implementation costs weighed on production and shipments. The 52-week range leaves the current Frankfurt price EUR 3.36 above the low and EUR 17.90 below the high.
