Recruit Holdings (ISIN JP3970300004) was trading at EUR 94.64 at Lang & Schwarz on September 30, 2026 at 4:03 p.m. CEST, up 0.97 percent versus the prior close of EUR 93.73. The key company figure is the higher fiscal year 2027 outlook, which puts HR Technology at the center of the earnings story.
Guidance rises for fiscal year 2027
According to Simply Wall St on September 9, 2026, Recruit Holdings raised fiscal year 2027 revenue guidance to JPY 4.230 trillion from JPY 4.030 trillion. Operating income guidance increased to JPY 945.0 billion from JPY 787.0 billion, while profit attributable to owners rose to JPY 755.0 billion from JPY 623.0 billion.
The same guidance update lifted basic earnings per share to JPY 543.00 from JPY 447.00. The comparison matters because the revenue increase is paired with a larger operating income upgrade, indicating that management expects earnings conversion to improve alongside growth.
Annual profit sets a higher base
Reuters lists fiscal year 2026 revenue of JPY 3.697 trillion and net income of JPY 496.911 billion for Recruit Holdings. Net income increased from JPY 408.504 billion in fiscal year 2025, a gain of 21.64 percent.
That historical comparison gives the new outlook a useful baseline. The fiscal year 2027 revenue target is JPY 532.649 billion above the fiscal year 2026 revenue figure, while the guidance points to continued expansion across HR Technology, staffing, and media and solutions.
