SoftBank Corp (ISIN JP3732000009) was last at JPY 238.50 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on October 5, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. JST, up JPY 1.10 or 0.46 percent from the prior close. The company is heading toward its second-quarter results after reporting Q1 FY27 revenue of JPY 1.81 trillion and earnings of JPY 150.07 billion, according to Yahoo Finance.

Q1 EPS beat the estimate

SoftBank's Q1 FY27 GAAP earnings per share reached JPY 3.09, compared with a JPY 2.82 estimate. The difference was JPY 0.27 per share, or 9.6 percent above the estimate, giving the latest quarter a clearer earnings signal than revenue alone.

The quarterly earnings also included a profit figure of JPY 150.07 billion and a reported margin of 8.27 percent, figures shown by Yahoo Finance for Q1 FY27. For investors, the key question is whether this earnings conversion carries into the April to September period.

November results set the next checkpoint

Analyst expectations remain above the October 5 share price. A September 30 report published by Yahoo Finance Japan showed a Strong consensus from 11 analysts and an average target of JPY 275. The same report said a Japanese major securities house kept a Strong rating and lifted its target from JPY 255 to JPY 280, putting that target 17.4 percent above the JPY 238.50 share price.

Stock stays below the yearly high
