Summary

  • Komatsu Ltd. sells machines that remain in service for years, generating ongoing demand for replacement parts, maintenance and automation upgrades.
  • Aftermarket parts and service accounted for about 50% of company-wide revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2026.
  • The service business helps cushion downturns, and early demand signals suggest the equipment cycle may now be turning in Komatsu’s favor.
  • June-quarter sales rose nearly 15%, parts sales increased 18% and management raised its full-year sales and profit forecasts.
  • At today’s valuation, we believe the market still prices Komatsu primarily as a cyclical equipment maker.
