A US brokerage retained its Buy rating on Recruit Holdings stock and raised its target from JPY 12,000.00 to JPY 23,300.00 on October 7, 2026, as Yahoo Finance Japan reported.

Three figures shaped the update

On August 7, 2026, Recruit reported first-quarter revenue of JPY 1,045.35 billion, up 18.90 percent from the year-earlier period, while operating profit rose 66.10 percent to JPY 254.36 billion, according to Investing.com.

On October 1, 2026, Recruit said it had repurchased 2,702,500 shares for JPY 43.19 billion during September. The wider program allows up to 64,000,000 shares and JPY 350.00 billion through November 30, 2026, according to Recruit Holdings.

What does the higher target imply?

The JPY 23,300.00 target is 94.17 percent above the previous JPY 12,000.00 target. That revision is an analyst view rather than company guidance, while the first-quarter figures provide the operating benchmark for the next report.
