Hioki EE Corp <6866> announced its consolidated financial results for the first quarter (Jan-March) of the fiscal year ending December 2026 after the close on the 15th. Revenue reached 11.386 billion yen (up 16.0% YoY), and operating profit came to 2.306 billion yen (up 27.8% YoY). Order intake totaled 12.279 billion yen (up 25.3% YoY), led by growth in electronic measuring instruments.

In the electronic measuring instrument segment, sales of resistance meters and LCR meters expanded as electronic component production, including power inductors, increased amid growing server demand for data center expansion. Battery testers also performed steadily, primarily for system integrators, supported by ongoing investment in energy storage systems (ESS) to stabilize high-power supply for data centers and manage fluctuations in solar power generation. For the full year ending December 2026, Hioki EE forecasts operating profit of 7.68 billion yen (up 13.1% YoY).
