Japans Advantest erhöht die Jahresgewinnprognose um 21,4 % – CNA

Even though I am no longer involved with ASML. I am pleased about the Advantest figures and forecast. I will remain invested here as well.

TOKYO, Jan 28: Japan's Advantest on Wednesday raised its operating profit 21.4 percent to 454 billion yen ($2.98 billion) for the fiscal year through March 2026 as spending on artificial intelligence boosts demand for its chip-testing equipment.

Advantest posted record sales in the October-December quarter and reported that operating profit jumped 64 percent from the same period a year earlier to 113.6 billion yen.

GoGoGo Advantesto. In addition to the good counts, a termination of 4% of the shares was also announced. I.e. all other shares are worth more. 🥳

Annual TOP positions from the stock market indices

My dears, as we look ahead to the new year, I'm already taking a look around.

With the question of which values could be the winners in 2026.

Last year, I read comments from time to time. Which said that the top performers of 2024 will not perform next year or will even lose.

If I had listened to them, I wouldn't have stayed invested in AppLovin. And I would have missed out on the Tenbagger 2025.

Dear ones, how are you dealing with your TOP performers from this year?

When looking at the TOPs from the indices, I keep noticing which pearls in the NASDAQ Composite are hidden.

My TOPs from this index are in the upper midfield.

It takes a lot of courage and risk to be among the best stocks here. Because as you can see, almost all of these stocks have no P/E ratio. That means they are not profitable.

But there are also these gems in the S and M DAX, and perhaps it is worth taking a closer look here. Even if we like to talk Germany down.

There are also a few surprises, so I wouldn't have bet a flower pot on SMA Solar and Nordex. Even a Tenbagger is off the mark 😂🙈. Or who of you would have expected these stocks to be at the top?

Which value is a surprise for you, and which values do you still see at the top?

After all, a turn of the year shouldn't put an end to momentum.

Advantest share price goes through the roof

https://www.n-tv.de/wirtschaft/der_boersen_tag/Advantest-Aktienkurs-geht-durch-die-Decke-article26126519.html

Hello my dears, the spirit of 🍊 has further boosted the Japanese stock market. That's why I remain invested in Advantest.

Unfortunately, my top picks of Japanese stocks on the watch have run away from me.

$7012 (+8,35 %) and $5803 (+9,41 %) .

Which Japanese companies do you still see potential for an acceptable valuation?

$2768 (+5,81 %) Soijitz could be an interesting value with regard to raw materials. Please share your opinion in the comments.

Optimism about the artificial intelligence (AI) business and the prospect of a reduction in US tariffs are shaping the Asian stock markets. In Tokyo, the export-oriented Nikkei index, which comprises 225 stocks, rose by 2% to 51,222 points. By contrast, the broader Topix was down 0.1 percent at 3,282 points.

On the Japanese market, shares in chip equipment manufacturer Advantest shot up by more than 20 percent after the company raised its profit forecast. Shares related to chip giant Nvidia also rose in China.

The Shanghai stock exchange gained 0.4 percent to 4002 points and the index of the most important companies in Shanghai and Shenzhen rose by 0.5 percent to 4714 points. The Hong Kong stock exchange is closed for a public holiday. The South Korean Kospi index reaches a new record high, boosted by strong figures from chip manufacturer SK Hynix.

$5803 I've also had it on my radar recently, but as you've already mentioned. It went too well. I also find $5344 interesting, which not so many people have on their radar. What do you think of the company at first glance?

APOS expands Smart TestCell ecosystem for the V93000 SoC test platform

Tokyo, Sept. 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Leading semiconductor test equipment provider Advantest Corporation (TSE: 6857) today announced its new Advantest Power Optimization Solution (APOS) for the V93000 system-on-chip (SoC) test platform. Designed to improve energy efficiency without sacrificing performance, APOS software enables foundries and outsourced semiconductor assembly and test (OSAT) providers to achieve their sustainability goals while reducing operating costs.

With energy consumption being a significant operating cost, semiconductor companies are actively looking for ways to optimize power consumption. APOS, developed by Advantest's Production Services team, provides a comprehensive energy saving framework that allows users to visualize and manage the power consumption of the V93000 tester in real time. This helps to reduce power costs while ensuring high throughput and test accuracy. In addition, APOS contributes to companies' sustainability efforts by improving the energy efficiency of the testers and thus reducing the overall carbon footprint.

"As semiconductor manufacturing becomes more energy intensive, improved efficiency is critical for both cost savings and sustainability," said Steven Su, Head of Manufacturing Services at Advantest. "Our APOS enables customers to reduce unnecessary power consumption much more effectively and gain deeper insights into the energy consumption of their test benches than would be possible with their own internal energy management resources."

The APOS software has already been installed on V93000 test systems at several customer sites, with positive results in reducing test costs and strengthening environmental initiatives.

"Partnering with Advantest on the APOS solution allowed us to align our testing operations with our sustainability goals," said Jordan Lin, Vice President of ASE Global Integrated Solutions Co., Ltd. "By utilizing APOS' real-time power monitoring and automation, we were able to significantly reduce energy waste in our test beds. This partnership not only increases operational efficiency, but also underscores our shared commitment to reducing the industry's carbon footprint through innovative, data-driven solutions."

Key features and benefits

Intelligent Energy Management - APOS extends Advantest's Smart TestCell (STC) ecosystem, which utilizes advanced automation and resource management to enable smart semiconductor manufacturing. APOS automatically activates/deactivates selected test cards based on real-world test scenarios, reducing unnecessary power consumption.

Real-time visualization - APOS Client Display provides an intuitive dashboard with real-time insights into power consumption as well as card type, status and quantity used.

Centralized control and reporting - The APOS dashboard integrates with the Testcell Central System (TCS) server web dashboard to centrally manage test bench energy savings data and use historical data for reporting and further optimization.

The Advantest Power Optimization Solution for the V93000 test platform is now available on the global market.
