Japan Post Bank (ISIN JP3946750001) was trading at EUR 18.10 at Lang & Schwarz on October 12, 2026 at 10:11 a.m. CEST. Markets Insider reported on October 2, 2026 that UBS kept a Buy rating and set a JPY 4,500.00 price target.

UBS target follows strong quarter

The UBS target came after Japan Post Bank reported first-quarter results for the period ended June 30, 2026. According to Markets Insider, revenue reached JPY 801.82 billion, compared with JPY 641.78 billion in the same quarter a year earlier, a 24.94 percent increase.

Net income rose to JPY 177.57 billion from JPY 104.86 billion in the year-earlier quarter, an increase of 69.33 percent. The earnings comparison gives the rating a concrete operating backdrop, although the JPY target remains a separate reference from the euro quotation used by German investors.

Price remains near yearly high

The Frankfurt-listed euro quotation stood within its EUR 9.15 to EUR 19.30 52-week range on October 9, 2026. At EUR 18.10, the Lang & Schwarz price was EUR 1.20 below that high, leaving the range as a useful valuation reference without mixing currencies.

Japan Post Bank operates as a financial-services company with savings, payments, lending and asset-management products. Its latest quarterly figures show that earnings growth, rather than the headline rating alone, is the central number for assessing the shares.

Next results date is November 13

Yahoo Finance lists November 13, 2026 as the next earnings date. That date gives investors a scheduled checkpoint for the JPY 4,500.00 UBS target and for the durability of the first-quarter net-income increase.
