CKD Corporation eyes record profit on semiconductor-related demand growth
CKD Corporation <6407> is attracting investor attention. The automated machinery and factory automation component manufacturer holds a dominant position in fluid control equipment for semiconductor applications. For the fiscal year ended March 2026, consolidated operating profit rose 3.3% year-on-year to 19.64 billion yen. Although the company downgraded its earnings forecast at its first-half results last November, a second-half recovery in semiconductor-related demand lifted performance above the revised guidance. For the fiscal year ending March 2027, operating profit is projected to jump 24.7% year-on-year to 24.5 billion yen, marking its first record high in four years. Market participants are already anticipating a further upward revision toward approximately 27 billion yen.
While the stock price has been in a correction phase after hitting a peak of 7,470 yen in May, growing recognition of expanding semiconductor-related demand is expected to reignite its upward momentum. Looking ahead, a breakout above the May high could pave the way for the stock to challenge the 8,000-yen mark.
