Developing markets with cutting-edge models, pharmaceutical applications and biological particle counters
First written in FY2019. 3 of 5 entries say "Advanced", first in FY2023. Latest entry: FY2026.
The whole theme swung hardest in 2026: 1 of 6 companies on the "Worse" side.
4 other companies' latest entry also says "Advanced".
- FY2026AdvancedAnnual report
「In the fine-particle measurement instruments business, in addition to continuing to respond to demand for leading-edge models driven by semiconductor miniaturization, new semiconductor manufacturing plants and capacity expansions are expected as the semiconductor market, particularly generative AI-related applications, continues to grow. We will secure new projects and use our expanded production capacity to convert them into sales, thereby maintaining strong sales.」
