Osaka Gas stock received a higher target of JPY 6,900.00 from a Japanese major securities firm, up from JPY 5,800.00, in a September 28, 2026 analyst note reported by Yahoo Finance Japan. The same note lowered the rating from bullish to somewhat bullish, while the target increase points to a more constructive valuation view.

Target rises as earnings reset

The target move came after Osaka Gas reported first-quarter fiscal 2027 revenue of JPY 478.01 billion and net income of JPY 35.68 billion for the period ended June 30, 2026, figures shown by Yahoo Finance. Operating income was JPY 31.31 billion, while the reported earnings figure was lower than the JPY 41.06 billion operating income recorded in fiscal 2026 fourth-quarter data.

The JPY 6,900.00 target is 21.71 percent above Osaka Gas at JPY 5,669.00 on the Tokyo market on October 7, 2026. That comparison uses the same JPY quotation currency and places the analyst view above the latest primary-market quote, rather than against the euro reference price.

Annual results show stronger profit

For fiscal year 2026 ended March 31, 2026, Osaka Gas posted revenue of JPY 2.03 trillion, down 1.90 percent from JPY 2.07 trillion in fiscal 2025, while net income rose 13.60 percent to JPY 152.8 billion from JPY 134.4 billion, according to Yuhodb. Operating profit also reached JPY 174.8 billion in fiscal 2026, compared with JPY 160.7 billion in fiscal 2025.

The earnings mix gives the target revision a measurable foundation: annual revenue contracted, but net income expanded by JPY 18.4 billion. Osaka Gas operates in utilities and regulated gas, with domestic energy, overseas energy, and life and business solutions activities.
