Goldman Sachs rates Hitachi Construction Machinery stock Sell
Published on 10/07/2026 at 05:15 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Goldman Sachs rates Hitachi Construction Machinery stock Sell and sets a JPY 5,000 price target after reinstating coverage on October 4, 2026, according to Markets Insider. The call puts the analyst view below the latest Tokyo price of JPY 5,841 on October 7, 2026, while the euro reference remains a substitute quote from a German venue.
Goldman flags mining expansion risk
Goldman Sachs said Hitachi Construction Machinery's expansion in mining equipment and US construction machinery fell short of its expectations, the same October 4 report stated. The JPY 5,000 target is 14.40 percent below the JPY 5,841 Tokyo price, a sharper warning than the neutral price picture in Europe.
The rating arrives before the company's next scheduled financial release. Hitachi Construction Machinery says its results for the second quarter ended September 30, 2026 are scheduled for October 29, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. JST in its investor-relations calendar.
First-quarter growth improves the setup
In the first quarter of fiscal 2027, revenue reached JPY 329.13 billion, up 7.50 percent from JPY 306.15 billion a year earlier. Adjusted operating profit rose to JPY 34.44 billion from JPY 22.12 billion, a 55.70 percent increase, while net income climbed to JPY 28.04 billion from JPY 11.28 billion, according to Sina Finance on September 8, 2026.
The numbers give investors two competing signals. Earnings momentum was strong in the first quarter, but Goldman Sachs is questioning whether mining and US construction expansion can convert that growth into a durable return profile.
