MS&AD Insurance Group Holdings stock (ISIN JP3890310000) was last at JPY 4,883 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on October 6, 2026, up 1.10 percent from the previous session. The latest earnings picture remains the central company signal: Q1 fiscal 2027 profit attributable to owners of the parent reached JPY 328.618 billion, according to Note on October 5, 2026.

Q1 profit covers 77.3 percent

The quarterly result represents 77.3 percent of MS&AD's JPY 425 billion forecast for fiscal year 2027, a large first-quarter contribution relative to the full-year target. The comparison matters because the company is guiding to a lower result than its JPY 510.6 billion IFRS profit for fiscal year 2026, as Note reported on October 5, 2026.

Insurance revenue reached JPY 1.686187 trillion in the April to June 2026 quarter, 14.1 percent above the year-earlier quarter. The same report put quarterly profit attributable to the parent at JPY 328.618 billion, 33.4 percent higher year over year, according to IT Boltwise.

Buybacks support the shareholder case

MS&AD's capital-return program is another concrete part of the investment debate. The company repurchased 9,701,500 shares from May 20 through June 30, 2026, equal to 0.67 percent of shares, for JPY 42.54821 billion, according to Simply Wall St on September 30, 2026.

The counterweight is valuation discipline from some analysts. Morgan Stanley maintained a Sell rating and a JPY 4,990 price target on October 2, 2026, while the same Markets Insider report cited a Moderate Buy consensus with an average target of JPY 5,696.46.

MS&AD stock stays below the yearly high

At JPY 4,883, the stock remains JPY 443 below its 52-week high of JPY 5,326 and JPY 1,775 above its 52-week low of JPY 3,108. Market capitalization stood at JPY 7.1 trillion, with 3,749,800 shares traded on October 6, 2026.
