Okuma stock (ISIN JP3172100004) was last at JPY 4,935 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on October 6, 2026, down 0.60 percent from the previous session. The machine-tool maker's latest operating update points to a stronger fiscal 2027 profit outlook, with margins now the key test for the recovery.

Q1 profit supports higher outlook

Okuma's first quarter of fiscal 2027 ended June 30, 2026, with sales of JPY 51.903 billion, operating profit of JPY 4.399 billion and net income of JPY 4.984 billion, according to a September 27 analysis published by Note. The figures give the current recovery story a concrete starting point after the company reported JPY 235.888 billion in fiscal 2026 sales, up 14.1 percent from the prior year.

The company raised its fiscal 2027 forecast to JPY 260 billion in sales, JPY 26 billion in operating profit and JPY 20 billion in net income. The operating profit target is 72.8 percent above the JPY 15.05 billion recorded for fiscal 2026, making execution in the remaining quarters more important than the sales target alone.

Machine tools remain cyclical

MarketScreener describes Okuma as a Japan-based manufacturer of machine tools, including numerical-control lathes, machining centers, multitasking machines and grinders. Its business spans Japan, the Americas, Europe and Asia-Pacific, so the profit recovery remains tied to capital spending across several industrial regions.

The same company profile shows a six-analyst consensus of Hold with an average target of JPY 4,804. That target is JPY 131 below the October 6 price, while the published 52-week range runs from JPY 3,265 to JPY 5,710, placing the latest quote closer to the upper end than the lower end.

Okuma stock carries JPY 292.5 billion value

Okuma's annual dividend forecast rose to JPY 120 for fiscal 2027, according to Note. The combination of higher earnings guidance and a higher dividend shifts attention toward whether operating profit can hold near the planned 10 percent margin as investment and industrial demand evolve.

On October 6, 2026, the stock's JPY 4,935 price came with a session range of JPY 4,880 to JPY 4,975 and volume of 342,500 shares. Market capitalization stood at JPY 292.5 billion, giving the forecast revision a substantial valuation context without turning the earnings recovery into a one-quarter conclusion.

Stock price and investor context

Okuma stock was last at JPY 4,935 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on October 6, 2026. The next valuation checkpoint is whether the JPY 26 billion operating profit forecast develops into sustained cash-generating growth rather than a short cycle rebound.
