Mitsui & Co stock traded at 28.01 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 9:35 a.m. CET on Tuesday, November 10, 2026. The Japanese trading house raised its earnings outlook after reporting stronger first-half results on November 4, according to Reuters.

Profit growth supports higher guidance

For the six months ended September 30, 2026, profit attributable to Mitsui & Co shareholders rose 35.7 percent to 574.862 billion yen from 423.733 billion yen a year earlier. Operating revenue increased 23.1 percent to 8.322 trillion yen from 6.759 trillion yen, while profit before income taxes climbed 29.8 percent to 709.539 billion yen.

RTTNews reported that the company lifted its forecast for attributable profit in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027, to 1.050 trillion yen from 920 billion yen previously. The revised target implies growth of 25.9 percent from the prior fiscal year. The forecast for profit before income taxes rose to 1.370 trillion yen from 1.22 trillion yen.

Commodity exposure remains central

Reuters attributed the stronger outlook for Mitsui and other Japanese trading houses to higher energy and metals prices that supported first-half earnings. That backdrop can lift results across resource-related businesses, but it also leaves earnings sensitive to commodity prices, exchange rates and investment performance.

The company maintained its full-year dividend forecast at 140 yen per share, including a planned 70-yen year-end payment. For investors, the combination of higher earnings guidance and continued exposure to market prices provides a stronger near-term profit base without removing the cyclical risks associated with Mitsui's diversified trading model.
