Q1 profit growth accelerates

For the three months ended June 30, 2026, revenue rose 14.0 percent year over year to JPY 1,004.246 billion. Core operating profit increased 101.7 percent to JPY 114.1 billion, while the core operating margin reached 11.4 percent, compared with 6.4 percent in the prior-year quarter, Beikabumap reported on August 7, 2026.

The fiscal 2027 full-year plan calls for revenue of JPY 3.8 trillion, core operating profit of JPY 305.0 billion and net income of JPY 127.0 billion. The company also maintained its annual dividend forecast at JPY 32 per share, according to Beikabumap.

Analyst targets diverge

On September 25, 2026, a US brokerage maintained an Underperform rating and raised its Mitsubishi Chemical Group target from JPY 970 to JPY 1,100, according to Yahoo Finance. That cautious view contrasts with the broader consensus.

As of September 24, 2026, nine analysts carried a slightly bullish consensus rating and an average target of JPY 1,454. The consensus target lies 22.4 percent above the October 7 price of JPY 1,188, according to Yahoo Finance.

Stock trades at JPY 1,188

Mitsubishi Chemical Group was trading at JPY 1,188 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange at 11:30 a.m. JST on October 7, 2026, up 0.68 percent on the session. The price stood below the 52-week high of JPY 1,305 and above the low of JPY 796.30, leaving the stock 8.97 percent below its yearly high.

The historical fiscal 2026 profile shows why the quarterly rebound matters: revenue was JPY 3.704 trillion and net income was JPY 118.0 billion, down from JPY 450.0 billion in fiscal 2025.
