Mizuho Financial Group, Inc. (ISIN US60687Y1091) lifted its fiscal 2026 targets at its September 2026 investor day, while Mizuho Financial Group stock was down 1.01 percent at EUR 9.80 at Lang & Schwarz on October 7, 2026. The outlook change gives the bank a fresh earnings benchmark even as the euro quotation sits below the prior close of EUR 9.90.

Targets reach JPY 1.75 trillion

According to VermögensZentrum on September 29, 2026, management lifted its fiscal 2026 target for consolidated net business profits to JPY 1.75 trillion and its target for profit attributable to owners of parent to JPY 1.40 trillion. The targets were raised after a strong first quarter, making execution against the higher profit framework the central operating measure for the remainder of fiscal 2026.

Mizuho's investor-relations page identifies the first-quarter fiscal 2026 financial statements as the latest reported quarterly materials and lists the second-quarter results announcement as a scheduled IR event posted on September 28, 2026. That timetable gives the next results update particular importance because it will show whether the first-quarter earnings pace is continuing.

First-quarter profit jumps 45 percent

VermögensZentrum reported that Mizuho's net income rose 45.00 percent year over year to JPY 422.90 billion in the first quarter of fiscal 2026. The same report said net business profits increased 81.00 percent and return on equity for the past 12 months reached 12.50 percent.

Those comparisons explain why the revised targets are material rather than a simple calendar update. Profit growth of 45.00 percent and net business profit growth of 81.00 percent provide a demanding base for the second-quarter report, while the higher annual targets raise the importance of capital allocation and risk control.

Stock remains below its yearly high

MFG's primary listing is on the NYSE, where the finance data snapshot showed a 52-week range of USD 6.09 to USD 11.49 and a market capitalization of USD 135.8 billion as of October 6, 2026. The Lang & Schwarz euro quotation is a separate German trading reference and is not combined with the US dollar range.

For investors, the immediate balance is clear: stronger fiscal 2026 targets and sharply higher first-quarter profit support the operating case, while the daily euro move places the stock at EUR 9.80 versus the Lang & Schwarz prior close of EUR 9.90. The next reported quarter will test whether the enlarged profit ambitions are translating into sustained earnings momentum.
