Valuation and market scale
Rakuten Group had a market capitalization of JPY 1.4 trillion as of October 16, 2026. Its trailing P/E ratio was minus 21.70, while the trailing dividend yield was 0.00 percent. The negative multiple reflects the earnings base used for the quoted valuation rather than a forward estimate.
Comparison with peers
Rakuten Group: plus 5.40 percent, P/E minus 21.70, market capitalization JPY 1.4 trillion.
SoftBank Group (TSE, JPY): plus 1.90 percent, P/E 5.75, market capitalization JPY 28.2 trillion.
LY Corporation (TSE, JPY): plus 2.53 percent, P/E 18.18, market capitalization JPY 3.7 trillion.
What the next date brings
The November reporting date will put renewed attention on the mobile unit's path toward self-sustaining network operations and on the contribution from financial services. Jefferies' October 2 target cut provides a dated counterweight to the latest share-price rebound, with the target still 20.29 percent above the October 16 price.
Stock position after the latest session
Rakuten Group's latest Tokyo quote stood at JPY 644.30 on October 16, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. JST, up 5.40 percent versus the prior close.
