Goldman Sachs raised its target for Nitto Denko stock from USD 19.21 to USD 22.80 while maintaining a Hold rating on October 19, 2026, according to Futu News. Nitto Denko stock was trading at EUR 20.60 at Lang & Schwarz on October 20, 2026 at 7:01 p.m. CEST.
Goldman Sachs lifts the target
The target increase from USD 19.21 to USD 22.80 is the clearest fresh analyst action in the past month. The report retained a Hold rating, so the higher target did not come with a stronger published recommendation. The source identifies Daiki Takayama as the Goldman Sachs analyst.
Revenue reached JPY 1.03 trillion
Nitto Denko reported revenue of JPY 1.03 trillion for the fiscal year ended March 2026, up from JPY 1.01 trillion in the prior fiscal year. KabuFacts also lists free cash flow of JPY 84.75 billion for fiscal year 2026, compared with JPY 102.80 billion a year earlier. That combination puts the analyst revision beside a softer cash-flow comparison.
