Resonac stock (ISIN JP3368000000) fell 3.29 percent on October 8, 2026, while the shares were trading at JPY 17,480 at 2:04 p.m. JST. The price move gives investors a fresh market reading alongside a sharply upgraded earnings outlook from the company's latest reported period.

Profit forecast reaches JPY 196 billion

In its August 6, 2026 earnings call, Yahoo Finance reported that Resonac had raised its FY 2026 core operating profit forecast to JPY 196 billion, a 40 percent increase from the initial forecast. Management also projected an EBITDA margin of 24.4 percent, 6.5 percentage points above the initial forecast.

For January through June 2026, revenue reached JPY 676.9 billion, up JPY 34.8 billion year over year. Core operating profit was JPY 88.8 billion, 2.6 times the year-earlier figure, while profit attributable to owners reached JPY 48.5 billion, 2.5 times the prior-year level.

Semiconductor materials lead growth

The semiconductor and electronic materials segment supplied the strongest operating engine in the first half. According to Yahoo Finance, segment revenue increased 30 percent year over year to JPY 299 billion, while core operating profit rose 92 percent to JPY 81.5 billion.

The segment's EBITDA margin reached 35.2 percent, compared with 27.8 percent in the same period a year earlier. That contrast matters because the company is reshaping its portfolio after the petrochemical spin-off, leaving semiconductor materials as a larger contributor to the profit forecast.

Consensus target stays above the market

The consensus table published by Investing.com shows a Buy rating from 12 analysts and an average 12-month target of JPY 20,703.3. That target lies 18.4 percent above the JPY 17,480 market price.

The same consensus page lists November 11, 2026 as the next earnings release date, giving the market a defined checkpoint for the upgraded forecast. A further test will be whether semiconductor demand can offset the lower consolidated revenue base after the petrochemical business separation.

Stock stays below its yearly high

Resonac stock was trading at JPY 17,480 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Prime market on October 8, 2026 at 2:04 p.m. JST, with volume of 1,610,200 shares. The price stood 14.7 percent below its 52-week high of JPY 20,495 and above the 52-week low of JPY 5,413.
