The life care side is the larger business and gives Hoya steady healthcare-driven revenue.","Its IT segment holds two quiet chokepoints in the AI supply chain. Hoya dominates mask blanks for EUV lithography, the ultra-flat substrates on which every leading-edge chip design is patterned. It also leads in glass substrates for the high-capacity hard drives hyperscalers use to store the datasets behind AI training.","Founded in 1941 as Japan's first specialty optical glass maker, Hoya is headquartered in Tokyo's Shinjuku district, employs about 37,000 people, and trades in the US as an ADR under HOCPY."],"buildoutRole":"Hoya sits in the Raw Materials layer and Memory & Storage layer of the buildout. Every advanced AI chip starts with a photomask, and Hoya's EUV mask blanks are an essential input with few qualified competitors. On the storage side, its glass substrates go into the nearline hard drives that hold the bulk of hyperscale data, demand that grows as AI training sets expand. Both positions are small relative to its healthcare business but hard to replace.","faq":[{"q":"What does Hoya Corporation do?","a":"Hoya is a Japanese maker of optical products. Its life care segment sells eyeglass lenses, contact lenses, intraocular lenses, and medical endoscopes, while its information technology segment makes EUV photomask blanks for chip manufacturing and glass substrates for hard disk drives."},{"q":"How is Hoya Corporation exposed to AI?","a":"Hoya supplies EUV mask blanks used to pattern leading-edge AI chips and glass substrates for the hard drives that store hyperscale AI data. Supercycle rates it Growing with an AI Exposure Score of 38 out of 100, since healthcare and vision care remain the core of the business."},{"q":"Why do Hoya's EUV mask blanks matter?","a":"EUV lithography prints the finest chip features, and every EUV exposure starts from a photomask built on a defect-free blank. Hoya is the dominant supplier of these blanks, making it an upstream input to nearly every leading-edge processor, including AI accelerators."},{"q":"Is HOCPY a pure play AI stock?","a":"No. Supercycle classifies Hoya as Growing. Its EUV mask blank and HDD glass positions are genuine chokepoints in the AI supply chain, but the majority of the company serves healthcare and consumer vision markets, so results track medical demand more than the buildout."},{"q":"Who leads Hoya?","a":"Eiichiro Ikeda serves as CEO of Hoya. The company is headquartered in Shinjuku, Tokyo, was founded in 1941 as Japan's first specialty optical glass manufacturer, and employs about 37,000 people worldwide."}],"history1y":[{"date":"2026-09-22","close":145.96},{"date":"2026-09-23","close":143.96},{"date":"2026-09-24","close":145.87},{"date":"2026-09-25","close":149.82},{"date":"2026-09-28","close":150.2},{"date":"2026-09-29","close":149.22},{"date":"2026-09-30","close":149.75},{"date":"2026-10-01","close":152.85},{"date":"2026-10-02","close":155.67},{"date":"2026-10-05","close":155.31},{"date":"2026-10-06","close":159.48},{"date":"2026-10-07","close":157.93},{"date":"2026-10-08","close":157.09},{"date":"2026-10-09","close":158.1},{"date":"2026-10-12","close":157.35},{"date":"2026-10-13","close":160.06},{"date":"2026-10-14","close":158.16},{"date":"2026-10-15","close":159.31},{"date":"2026-10-16","close":160.12},{"date":"2026-10-19","close":160.82},{"date":"2026-10-20","close":165.88},{"date":"2026-10-21","close":168.59},{"date":"2026-10-22","close":166.31},{"date":"2026-10-23","close":166.3},{"date":"2026-10-26","close":167.22},{"date":"2026-10-27","close":169.71},{"date":"2026-10-28","close":169.14},{"date":"2026-10-29","close":167.52},{"date":"2026-10-30","close":165.34},{"date":"2026-11-02","close":156.83}],"incomeStatements":[{"ticker":"HOCPY","report_period":"2026-12-31","fiscal_period":"2026-FY","period":"annual","currency":"USD","revenue":995844000000,"cost_of_revenue":135904000000,"gross_profit":859940000000,"operating_expense":0,"operating_income":551126000000,"net_income":253084000000,"earnings_per_share":743.82,"earnings_per_share_diluted":743.82,"research_and_development":0,"selling_general_and_administrative_expenses":17973000000,"interest_expense":0,"income_tax_expense":0,"weighted_average_shares_diluted":0},{"ticker":"HOCPY","report_period":"2025-12-31","fiscal_period":"2025-FY","period":"annual","currency":"USD","revenue":885815000000,"cost_of_revenue":119564000000,"gross_profit":766251000000,"operating_expense":0,"operating_income":480792000000,"net_income":202102000000,"earnings_per_share":581.26,"earnings_per_share_diluted":581.26,"research_and_development":0,"selling_general_and_administrative_expenses":20976000000,"interest_expense":0,"income_tax_expense":0,"weighted_average_shares_diluted":0},{"ticker":"HOCPY","report_period":"2024-12-31","fiscal_period":"2024-FY","period":"annual","currency":"USD","revenue":792628000000,"cost_of_revenue":104638000000,"gross_profit":687990000000,"operating_expense":0,"operating_income":433453000000,"net_income":181376000000,"earnings_per_share":515.27,"earnings_per_share_diluted":515.27,"research_and_development":0,"selling_general_and_administrative_expenses":18257000000,"interest_expense":0,"income_tax_expense":0,"weighted_average_shares_diluted":0},{"ticker":"HOCPY","report_period":"2023-12-31","fiscal_period":"2023-FY","period":"annual","currency":"USD","revenue":734095000000,"cost_of_revenue":102240000000,"gross_profit":631855000000,"operating_expense":0,"operating_income":400864000000,"net_income":168638000000,"earnings_per_share":469.47,"earnings_per_share_diluted":469.47,"research_and_development":0,"selling_general_and_administrative_expenses":16004000000,"interest_expense":0,"income_tax_expense":0,"weighted_average_shares_diluted":0}],"balanceSheets":[{"ticker":"HOCPY","report_period":"2026-12-31","fiscal_period":"2026-FY","period":"annual","currency":"USD","total_assets":1300897000000,"current_assets":960752000000,"cash_and_equivalents":574092000000,"total_liabilities":265893000000,"current_liabilities":199674000000,"total_debt":42241000000,"shareholders_equity":1020460000000,"retained_earnings":902401000000},{"ticker":"HOCPY","report_period":"2025-12-31","fiscal_period":"2025-FY","period":"annual","currency":"USD","total_assets":1234278000000,"current_assets":879731000000,"cash_and_equivalents":533967000000,"total_liabilities":262649000000,"current_liabilities":179508000000,"total_debt":37283000000,"shareholders_equity":974023000000,"retained_earnings":871357000000},{"ticker":"HOCPY","report_period":"2024-12-31","fiscal_period":"2024-FY","period":"annual","currency":"USD","total_assets":1203623000000,"current_assets":856635000000,"cash_and_equivalents":525162000000,"total_liabilities":241359000000,"current_liabilities":168972000000,"total_debt":29239000000,"shareholders_equity":967758000000,"retained_earnings":805997000000},{"ticker":"HOCPY","report_period":"2023-12-31","fiscal_period":"2023-FY","period":"annual","currency":"USD","total_assets":1028326000000,"current_assets":710155000000,"cash_and_equivalents":405888000000,"total_liabilities":213722000000,"current_liabilities":156099000000,"total_debt":24582000000,"shareholders_equity":818321000000,"retained_earnings":752999000000}],"holders13f":[],"news":[]},"meta":{"version":"v1","asOf":"2026-11-02","builtAt":"2026-11-03T05:33:49.848Z","tier":"free","source":"https://supercyclehq.com/stock/hoya","disclaimer":"Informational
