Nidec (JP3734800000) faces a JPY 1,500.00 JPMorgan target as the motor maker prepares for its next results. According to Investing.com, JPMorgan maintained a Sell rating and a JPY 1,500.00 target on October 16, 2026. That target is 14.67 percent below Nidec's JPY 1,758.00 Tokyo price at 3:30 p.m. JST on October 20, 2026. Nidec stock was trading at EUR 10.02 at Lang & Schwarz on October 20, 2026 at 8:03 p.m. CEST.

Recovery depends on the forecast

Nidec's official October 1 presentation projects fiscal 2026 net sales of JPY 2,800.0 billion and operating profit of JPY 200.0 billion. The forecast implies a 7.10 percent operating margin, a sharp change from the JPY 519.0 billion operating loss reported for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026. The same presentation reported fiscal 2025 net sales of JPY 2,708.7 billion, up 3.90 percent from JPY 2,606.3 billion after correction.

The comparison matters because the forecast depends on a return to profitability after JPY 632.1 billion of impairment losses. Nidec also presented free cash flow of JPY 98.0 billion for fiscal 2025, while the equity ratio fell to 25.60 percent after restatements. The figures are from Nidec.

Tokyo price sits near the yearly low

The Tokyo price of JPY 1,758.00 stood 0.51 percent above the JPY 1,749.00 52-week low and 40.22 percent below the JPY 2,941.00 high on October 20, 2026. Nidec's market capitalization was JPY 2.0 trillion on the same date. The comparison with MinebeaMitsumi is also direct: MinebeaMitsumi traded at JPY 3,260.00, down 1.72 percent, with a market capitalization of JPY 1.3 trillion and a P/E ratio of 11.96.

What does October 26 mean?

MarketBeat estimates Nidec's next earnings date as October 26, 2026. Its previous report, released September 30, 2026, showed revenue of USD 4.58 billion against a USD 4.15 billion consensus, while earnings per share came in at USD 0.01 versus USD 0.0277 expected. MarketBeat labels the October date as estimated, so the next release will test whether the recovery forecast is gaining operational support.

Stock price and investor watchpoints

The key tension is visible in the numbers: fiscal 2026 guidance calls for JPY 200.0 billion of operating profit, while JPMorgan's JPY 1,500.00 target remains below the latest Tokyo price. For investors, the October 26 date brings the next formal opportunity to compare revenue, profitability and the restructuring plan with those targets.
