Mizuho Financial Group (US60687Y1091) was trading at EUR 9.10 at Lang & Schwarz on October 19, 2026 at 9:49 a.m. CEST. A European securities firm maintained a Buy rating and raised its target from JPY 9,500 to JPY 12,500 on October 1, 2026, according to Yahoo Finance.

Quarterly profit sets the backdrop

Mizuho's first-quarter results for the three months ended June 30, 2026 showed profit attributable to owners of the parent of JPY 422.9 billion, up 45.5 percent from a year earlier. Ordinary income reached JPY 2.520855 trillion, an 18.3 percent year-over-year increase, according to Ticker Scout.

The company also raised its fiscal 2026 forecast for profit attributable to owners of the parent from JPY 1.3 trillion to JPY 1.4 trillion on July 30, 2026. That is a JPY 100 billion increase, or 7.69 percent, while the forecast dividend stayed at JPY 150 per share for the year.

Three milestones shape the story

On May 15, 2026, Mizuho reported fiscal-year profit attributable to owners of the parent of JPY 1,248.632 billion, according to Ticker Scout. On July 30, 2026, first-quarter profit reached JPY 422.9 billion, and on October 1, 2026, the European securities firm lifted its target to JPY 12,500, as Yahoo Finance reported.

What does the target mean?

The target increased by JPY 3,000 from JPY 9,500, a 31.58 percent rise in the analyst valuation. The move came after Mizuho's first-quarter profit growth and the higher full-year forecast, but the yen target cannot be directly compared with the ADR's euro quotation.

Mizuho scheduled the cancellation of 24,352,700 repurchased shares, equal to 1.00 percent of shares outstanding before cancellation, for October 23, 2026, according to Ticker Scout. The next earnings date is listed as November 13, 2026 by Simply Wall St.
