TSE:6871 Revenue & Expenses Breakdown as at May 2026 TTM earnings of ¥14.8b support growth story Over the last twelve months, Micronics Japan generated ¥76.99b in revenue and ¥14.78b in net income, with basic EPS of ¥381.36, which is being compared with forecast earnings growth of about 20.05% per year and revenue growth of about 15.7% per year. What stands out for the bullish view is how the reported 60.4% year over year earnings growth and 12.7% per year earnings growth over five years line up with the current trailing figures, while:
Trailing net margin sits at 19.2%, higher than the 15.9% level cited for the prior year, so profitability on the existing revenue base is stronger than it was twelve months ago. The combination of ¥76.99b in trailing revenue and ¥14.78b in trailing net income gives bulls concrete support for the idea that the company is already operating at a scale that matches the upbeat growth forecasts rather than relying only on future improvement.
Bulls point to the current 19.2% margin and ¥14.8b in trailing earnings as evidence that the growth story is already in motion, not just a forecast on a slide deck, which is exactly what detailed bull and bear breakdowns unpack in more depth. 📊 Read the what the Community is saying about Micronics Japan.
19.2% margin and “high quality” earnings vs rich P/E Trailing net profit margin of 19.2% is described as higher than last year’s 15.9%, and at the same time the stock trades on a trailing P/E of 43.4x compared with 31.9x for peers and 31.1x for the Japan semiconductor industry. Skeptical investors often focus on this gap between profitability and valuation, and the data here gives them plenty to work with because:
Even with a higher margin and earnings being described as high quality, the 43.4x P/E multiple is well above both peer and industry averages, which means the stock price asks investors to pay more for each yen of trailing earnings than many alternatives. A DCF fair value of ¥1,486.17 sitting far below the current share price of ¥16,550 highlights how a valuation model can produce a figure that differs sharply from the market price, which bears can use to argue that expectations embedded in the stock are already very demanding. Quarterly step-up in scale over recent periods Looking at the last six reported quarters, revenue moved from ¥14,124m in Q1 2025 to ¥19,761m in Q4 2025 and ¥20,945m in Q1 2026, while basic EPS over the same stretch ranged from ¥43.32 in Q1 2025 to ¥128.44 in Q4 2025 and ¥113.30 in Q1 2026. For investors trying to decide whether this pattern fits better with a bullish or cautious stance, these quarterly snapshots add an extra layer of context, since:
The run of revenues between ¥16,660m and ¥20,945m across the six quarters and the move in trailing revenue from ¥55,643m at Q4 2024 to ¥76,994m at Q1 2026 suggest the company has been operating at a larger scale over the past year than in the prior period covered by the data. At the same time, the recent comment that the share price has been highly volatile in the last three months relative to the Japan market means anyone looking at these higher earnings and revenue levels also has to weigh more pronounced short term price swings when sizing a position.
