Mizuho Financial Group (ISIN US60687Y1091) stock closed at USD 10.90 on the NYSE on October 2, 2026, up 1.25 percent from the prior close. The latest operating checkpoint was a fiscal 2026 first-quarter result in which earnings per share beat consensus by USD 0.05.

Quarterly earnings beat estimates

According to MarketBeat, Mizuho reported USD 0.22 in quarterly EPS for the period reported on July 30, 2026, versus the USD 0.17 consensus estimate. Revenue reached USD 8.55 billion, compared with the USD 5.51 billion estimate, giving investors a second quantified measure of the earnings beat.

The result is also visible in the structured quarterly data for Q1 FY2026: consolidated net income was JPY 291.66 billion and the net profit margin was 29 percent. The currencies differ because the ADR coverage reports market figures in USD while the group financial statement is reported in JPY.

Buyback changes the share count

Mizuho completed a JPY 200 billion share repurchase program in September. The company filing reported by StockTitan on September 24, 2026, said 24,352,700 repurchased shares, equal to 1.0 percent of shares outstanding before cancellation, were scheduled for cancellation on October 23, 2026.

That capital action matters for the stock's next phase because the buyback removed a recurring source of market demand while the cancellation reduces the outstanding share count. The earnings beat supports profitability, but the completed repurchase changes the immediate support mechanism.

Consensus target trails the price

Gekko listed a Buy consensus from one covering firm and an average 12-month price target of USD 10.48. Against the USD 10.90 NYSE close on October 2, 2026, that target is 3.9 percent below the price, a more cautious signal than the recent earnings comparison.
