  • Advantest Shares Surge 8.4% on Upgraded Guidance and Treasury Share Cancellation Plans
    February 1, 2026, 11:43 AM EST. Advantest Corporation (TSE:6857) stock jumped 8.4% after the company posted record nine-month results and raised its March 2026 full-year guidance to ¥1.07 trillion in net sales and ¥454 billion in operating income.

The board is also considering cancelling treasury shares, which would reduce the equity base and potentially increase earnings per share. Despite the upbeat outlook, high valuation multiples and market cyclicality present risks. Investor sentiment remains vulnerable to any slowdown in tester demand, with fair value estimates for Advantest ranging widely between ¥8,300 and ¥19,200, reflecting divided investor views on its premium pricing and growth prospects in advanced semiconductors.
