Recruit Holdings stock (ISIN JP3970300004) was last at JPY 16,445.00 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on September 28, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. JST, with a 0.67 percent daily change. Investing.com reported that Q1 FY2026 revenue rose 18.90 percent year over year to JPY 1.04 trillion and EPS increased 73.20 percent to JPY 145.48.
Guidance reaches JPY 4.23 trillion
The latest quarterly update also put full-year FY2026 revenue guidance at JPY 4.23 trillion. Investing.com reported that the outlook included EBITDA+S of JPY 1.105 trillion and basic EPS of JPY 543.00.
The comparison is important for the valuation story: quarterly revenue growth of 18.90 percent was accompanied by a 73.20 percent increase in EPS. That gap points to stronger earnings conversion than the top-line figure alone suggests.
Analyst target moves to JPY 19,400
On September 9, 2026, a US brokerage kept its bullish rating and raised the price target from JPY 14,900.00 to JPY 19,400.00, according to Yahoo! Finance. The new target is JPY 2,955.00 above the September 28 price.
Recruit operates across HR Technology, Staffing and Marketing Matching Technologies, with Indeed and Glassdoor among its online hiring platforms. Its earnings profile therefore depends on both digital recruitment demand and the conversion of that demand into platform revenue and profit.
Q2 results are scheduled for November 11
Recruit Holdings lists Q2 FY2026 financial results for November 11, 2026, at 3:30 p.m. JST. That release will provide the next quantified test of whether the Q1 earnings pace supports the elevated full-year outlook.
