Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (ISIN US6068221042) stock was trading at EUR 20.80 at Lang & Schwarz on October 6, 2026 at 9:18 a.m. CEST. As MarketBeat reported on September 10, 2026, Erste Group Bank raised its fiscal 2027 earnings per share estimate from USD 1.57 to USD 1.64 in a note dated September 8, 2026.

Estimate rises to USD 1.64

The revised estimate gives MUFG a concrete earnings benchmark for fiscal 2027. MarketBeat said Erste Group Bank maintained a Buy rating alongside the higher forecast.

The same MarketBeat report said MUFG earned USD 0.45 per share in the quarter reported on August 4, 2026, versus USD 0.35 consensus. Revenue reached USD 15.11 billion against USD 10.06 billion expected, leaving two clear comparison points for the estimate revision.

First quarter remains the latest report

MUFG's investor-relations page identifies the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2027 as its latest financial information, while the group posted Investors Day presentation materials dated September 9, 2026. The official MUFG presentation places the current strategy discussion in that reporting cycle.

For investors, the key distinction is between a higher earnings estimate and the already reported operating base. The USD 0.10 gap between actual earnings per share and consensus in the August 4 quarter shows why estimate changes can matter more than a bare rating label.
