    YASKAWA Electric (TSE:6506) Stock Gains Face Margin Squeeze

    Simply Wall St·10/11/2026 22:30:30
    Listen to the news

    The market came into YASKAWA Electric’s Q2 print already on edge, with the share price down over the past three months yet up double digits across the last 30 days. Then the headline hit. Revenue for the quarter landed at ¥146,616 million while basic earnings per share reached ¥52.21, a solid jump from Q1 levels that puts profit back in focus.

    For a robotics and factory automation specialist often judged on margin pressure and a rich 34.5x P/E, this quarter’s profit recovery, not top line, is what traders are really pricing in today.

    Is YASKAWA Electric’s 34.5x P/E simply reflecting forecast 15.8% earnings growth, or is it tipping into overpay territory as net margins ease back to 6.3%? Compare price, earnings and implied upside in the valuation analysis for YASKAWA Electric

    YASKAWA Electric: Earnings Support Automation Growth Story

    For anyone leaning bullish on YASKAWA Electric as an automation backbone, this quarter gives some support. Revenue moved to ¥146,616 million, with net income of ¥13,543 million and basic EPS at ¥52.21, all ahead of last year’s Q2 levels. That pattern backs the idea that factory robotics and motion control demand are still feeding through the income statement. The recent 30 day share price gain of about 11% suggests the market has picked up on that improving earnings trend after the weak Q1 reaction in July.

    Margin Pressure Keeps YASKAWA Risk Debate Alive

    The caution case has fresh ammunition. Net profit margin on a trailing basis is now 6.3%, down from 10.7%, which points to cost pressure or pricing strain even as sales and earnings per share rise. The share price is still down about 20% over 90 days and has only slightly eased over the last week. That pattern fits a market that accepts YASKAWA Electric’s revenue momentum but is not yet convinced that profitability in robotics and drives is back on stable footing.
