Purchase price broadly in line with December 2025 estimate

Shimadzu announced at 10:00 JST on 10 July that it had made Tescan a wholly owned 12m price target ¥4,900

subsidiary. The final purchase price was US$711mn (¥115.2bn at ¥162/US$), in line with

the planned purchase price (US$680mn) announced in December 2025. The company

explained that it planned to announce the acquisition’s impact on earnings at the Q1

(Apr-Jun) FY3/27 results announcement scheduled after the 6 August market close. We RIC: 7701.T BBG: 7701 JP

see a high likelihood of the company revising up FY3/27 OP guidance. Trading data and key metrics

We assume Tescan will be consolidated from Q2 (Jul-Sep). Shimadzu plans to reflect

Tescan in its income statement in Q3 (Oct-Dec), and we think negative impact of the

Tescan acquisition (our estimate: ¥4bn) could decrease slightly. OP guidance announced

Avg. daily volume ('000) 2,101

in May 2026 (¥76bn) does not include Tescan. Guidance reflects a ¥4bn negative impact

from the Middle East conflict, but we do not think this is likely to materialise based on Avg. daily value (m) ¥7,969.8

the current situation. We also expect demand for turbo molecular pumps for Common s/h equity (03/27E) ¥600b

semiconductor manufacturing equipment to grow, and expect the company to raise P/BV (03/27E) 2.0x

full-year guidance to a level near our estimates when it reports Q1 results.
