Recruit Holdings stock was trading at EUR 97.02 at Lang & Schwarz on October 8, 2026 at 10:30 a.m. CEST, plus 1.33 percent versus EUR 95.75. As Futu reported on October 8, 2026, Recruit Holdings was a net buyer of JPY 2.52 billion on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. The combination of fresh buying and a positive euro indication gives the session a clear market signal.

First-quarter growth remains the anchor

According to note.com on August 7, 2026, Recruit reported revenue of JPY 1.045 trillion in fiscal 2027 first quarter, up 18.90 percent year over year. Operating income reached JPY 255.413 billion in the same period, an increase of 66.10 percent from the prior-year quarter. The gap between revenue growth and operating-income growth points to stronger operating leverage, although the figures also need to be read alongside currency effects and demand in the global hiring market.

The same source reported quarterly profit attributable to owners of the parent of JPY 202.618 billion, up 67.50 percent year over year, and an operating margin of 24.40 percent versus 17.50 percent in the comparable quarter. These are reported IFRS figures for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, rather than full-year results.

Tokyo valuation and next date

Recruit Holdings had a market capitalization of JPY 24.0 trillion on October 8, 2026. Its Tokyo Stock Exchange quote was last at JPY 17,200 on October 8, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. JST, while the 52-week range stood at JPY 6,040 to JPY 18,215. The euro quote and the Tokyo quote use different venues and currencies, so they are separate reference points rather than one combined performance measure.

The investor-relations calendar lists November 11, 2026, for the second-quarter fiscal 2026 results, according to Recruit Holdings. For investors, the next test is whether the first-quarter operating improvement can carry into the results scheduled for that date.

Stock remains below the yearly high

At EUR 97.02, the Lang & Schwarz price was EUR 1.27 above the October 7, 2026 prior close of EUR 95.75, while the Tokyo listing remained below its JPY 18,215 52-week high. The further course of trading is shown by the continuously updated real-time quote of Recruit stock.
