SoftBank Group (JP3436100006) was trading at EUR 33.86 at Lang & Schwarz on October 8, 2026, at 10:01 a.m. CEST, down 4.46 percent versus the prior close of EUR 35.44. Stock-World reported that Nomura had raised its target for the stock to JPY 9,610 on September 9, 2026.

Nomura lifts the target

The JPY 9,610 target gives the latest analyst action a concrete benchmark as SoftBank Group continues to finance a concentrated artificial intelligence portfolio. Nomura kept its Buy rating when it raised the target on September 9, 2026, according to Stock-World.

The target change matters because SoftBank Group's financing structure links portfolio value, borrowing capacity and exposure to technology valuations. The same report said Fitch had assigned the group a BB-plus rating with a stable outlook on September 11, 2026, adding a credit-market counterweight to the bullish equity view.

June quarter sends mixed signals

For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, revenue increased 10.90 percent year on year to JPY 2.0 trillion and gross profit rose 10.40 percent to JPY 1.1 trillion, Bondsupermart reported on September 30, 2026.

The comparison was less favorable below the revenue line. Net income attributable to shareholders fell 17.70 percent year on year to JPY 347.3 billion, even as investment gains rose to JPY 1.86 trillion from JPY 0.5 trillion in the year-ago quarter, according to Bondsupermart. The figures show why operating growth alone does not define the group's earnings profile.
