JPMorgan raised its KDDI target from JPY 3,000 to JPY 3,500 on October 9, 2026, putting the target 22.59 percent above the Tokyo price of JPY 2,855.00, according to Note. KDDI stock was at EUR 16.01 at Lang & Schwarz on October 14, 2026 at 5:47 p.m. CEST, down 1.13 percent on Tokyo versus the October 13 close of JPY 2,887.50.

Target rises to JPY 3,500

The target change gives the market a clear numerical reference while KDDI trades below the new level in Tokyo. The gap is calculated from JPY 2,855.00 to JPY 3,500.00, not from the euro quotation, so the comparison keeps one currency and one venue.

The source describes the rating as bullish and attributes the revised view to defensive telecommunications demand and expansion outside the core telecom business. That assessment is separate from the euro quotation at Lang & Schwarz.

First-half results arrive November 6

KDDI has scheduled its financial results for the first half of the fiscal year ending March 2027 for November 6, 2026, according to KDDI. The date is the next defined event for the stock, while the revised target supplies the nearer valuation reference.
