Fuji Electric (6504) boosted by power infrastructure and data centre demand
Fuji Electric Co., Ltd. (6504) shares are trading 6.5% higher today at ¥14,035, driven by increased demand for power infrastructure and data centres. The company has updated its record profits for the fiscal year ended March 2026, attracting continued investor buying.

The company's share price continues the momentum from the previous day, which had already reported sustained investor buying following record earnings and a share buyback. According to minkabu.jp, the analyst consensus is "Buy", with a target price set at ¥13,660.
Why Fuji Electric's Record Performance is Boosting its Share Price
Fuji Electric Co., Ltd. is a comprehensive electrical equipment manufacturer handling power electronics products for power infrastructure, industrial equipment, and data centres. It provides technology and products that support the foundation of society across a wide range of fields, from power generation facilities and transmission/distribution systems to control equipment used in factories and buildings, and semiconductors. In particular, demand for renewable energy-related products and energy-saving equipment is increasing amidst the trend towards decarbonisation, and this is a significant factor driving the company's earnings.
The background to today's share price increase is the company's announcement of its consolidated financial results for the fiscal year ending March 2026, which saw sales increase by 9.3% year-on-year to ¥1,227.6 billion and operating profit rise by 16.1% to ¥136.6 billion, both marking new all-time highs. Expanding investments in power infrastructure and data centres strongly boosted demand for the company's key products, such as power semiconductors and power receiving/transforming equipment. While the market had already factored in these strong results to some extent, the announced figures surpassed those expectations, which has attracted continued buying from investors.
Following this record-breaking earnings announcement, Fuji Electric's share price today rose by 6.5% from yesterday's close of ¥13,180, and is trading at ¥14,035.
This is like a marathon runner significantly beating their personal best. Their past training and effort have paid off, producing better-than-expected results, which further raises their reputation and dramatically increases expectations for their next race. Similarly, Fuji Electric's accumulated technological development and business strategies, cultivated within a robust market environment, have culminated in record-high performance, which is now leading to new market appreciation.
