JX Advanced Metals tops list of stocks with rising buy predictions among individual investors

Mon Jun 8, 2026 2:37 pm JST Catalyst

According to Minkabu's aggregated retail investor sentiment (latest 48 hours) as of 2:00 p.m. on Monday, JX Advanced Metals Corporation <5016> ranked first in rising buy forecasts.

JX Advanced Metals announced its financial results for the fiscal year ended March 2026 on May 11. Consolidated operating profit for the period came to 174.97 billion yen (up 55.5% year-on-year), significantly exceeding the previous forecast of 150.00 billion yen. However, its operating profit forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2027 is projected at 190.00 billion yen (up 8.6% year-on-year)?marking a record high but falling short of market expectations of around 210.00 billion yen. This triggered a sell-off in the shares, which declined for seven consecutive sessions starting May 12 and have remained weak since.

Property assets aside, JX Advanced Metals handles products such as sputtering targets for semiconductors and indium phosphide substrates used in optical communication light-emitting and receiving devices for data centers, keeping it highly regarded as a semiconductor-related share. Additionally, market views remain strong that the firm's earnings outlook is conservative. As a result, some investors are reportedly looking for buying opportunities, fueling the rise in buy forecasts. Conversely, some market participants expect the downtrend to persist, with the stock still ranking fourth in rising sell forecasts.
