Fast Retailing stock (ISIN JP3802300008) gained 4.07 percent to JPY 74,690 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on October 5, 2026, its highest level of the session. The move comes three days before the company's scheduled fiscal 2026 results, which Simply Wall St identifies as October 8, 2026.

Profit growth sets the bar

Fast Retailing reported revenue of JPY 3,065.182 billion for the nine months ended May 31, 2026, up 17.1 percent from the same period a year earlier. According to Note, business profit increased 33.6 percent to JPY 592.714 billion, while operating profit rose 36.2 percent to JPY 614.389 billion.

The earnings mix matters because the growth rate of profit exceeded the growth rate of revenue by 19.1 percentage points. Profit attributable to owners of the parent reached JPY 426.077 billion, an increase of 25.6 percent, while basic earnings per share stood at JPY 1,388.62 for the period, according to Note.

Guidance raises expectations

For the fiscal year ending August 31, 2026, Fast Retailing's revised guidance calls for revenue of JPY 3,970.0 billion and operating profit of JPY 730.0 billion. Simply Wall St reports that the earlier targets were JPY 3,900.0 billion for revenue and JPY 700.0 billion for operating profit.

That implies guidance increases of JPY 70.0 billion in revenue and JPY 30.0 billion in operating profit versus the previous plan. The October 8 release therefore has two tests: whether the year-end target was achieved and what Fast Retailing says about fiscal 2027.

Analyst target sits above price

A September 3 analyst action kept an Overweight rating and lifted the target from JPY 86,000 to JPY 87,000, according to Yahoo Finance. A separate September 2 consensus cited by Monex showed a mildly bullish 4.25 rating from 12 analysts and an average target of JPY 85,333, which stood 14.3 percent above the October 5 price.
