Mizuho Financial Group stock (ISIN US60687Y1091) was trading at USD 11.05 on the NYSE on October 5, 2026 at 1:46 p.m. ET, up 1.52 percent from the previous close. The latest earnings outlook gives the move a fundamental anchor: VermogensZentrum reported on September 29, 2026 that management lifted its fiscal 2026 net business profit outlook to JPY 1.75 trillion and profit attributable to owners to JPY 1.4 trillion.
Fiscal Q1 beat expectations
The operating picture was already strong in the quarter ended June 30, 2026. According to MarketBeat, Mizuho reported earnings per share of USD 0.22 against a USD 0.17 consensus estimate. The USD 0.05 beat gives investors a concrete measure of the earnings surprise behind the revised annual outlook.
The same July 30, 2026 report put quarterly revenue at USD 8.55 billion, compared with USD 5.51 billion expected. That USD 3.04 billion gap is larger than the EPS difference and shows why the company has attracted attention beyond the Japanese banking sector.
Profit target moves higher
The September 2026 IR Day update also included a 45 percent year-over-year increase in first-quarter net income and an 81 percent rise in net business profits, according to VermogensZentrum. The report also said trailing twelve-month return on equity reached 12.5 percent, a profitability measure that connects the profit upgrade with capital efficiency.
The company is a Japan-based financial services group spanning commercial banking, trust banking, securities, asset management, leasing, research and consulting. Mizuho's investor-relations page identifies both its TSE Prime Market listing and its NYSE ADR, making the USD quote relevant for US-listed investors.
Stock remains near yearly high
At USD 11.05, Mizuho Financial Group stock was USD 0.44 below its 52-week high of USD 11.49 and USD 4.96 above its 52-week low of USD 6.09 on October 5, 2026. The session volume was 1,357,587 shares, while market capitalization stood at USD 134.7 billion.
The combination of a 1.52 percent session gain, a USD 0.05 quarterly EPS beat and the higher JPY 1.75 trillion profit target leaves the stock trading near its annual peak with earnings momentum already reflected in the valuation.
