Results set the next test
Chugai's investor-relations calendar schedules third-quarter results for fiscal 2026, covering January through September, on October 27, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. JST. The company also lists a results conference for 6:00 p.m. JST the same day, according to Chugai Pharmaceutical.
For context, Chugai reported JPY 341.58 billion in revenue and JPY 116.33 billion in net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2026, compared with JPY 290.01 billion and JPY 97.16 billion a year earlier. Those figures were reported by The Globe and Mail on October 8, 2026.
What does the target change mean?
Valuation remains a counterweight to the Buy rating. Simply Wall St said on October 18, 2026 that the referenced target fell from JPY 12,440 to JPY 11,000. The update linked the change to a lower assumed future price-to-earnings multiple, despite slightly higher revenue-growth and profit-margin assumptions.
