Mizuho Financial Group (JP3885780001) was trading at EUR 47.90 at Lang & Schwarz on October 1, 2026 at 9:12 a.m. CEST, down 2.44 percent versus the prior close of EUR 49.10. On September 24, 2026, Mizuho Financial Group completed its common-stock repurchase program, giving the stock a concrete capital-return backdrop even as the euro quotation moved lower.

Buyback reaches JPY 200 billion

According to FilingReader on September 24, 2026, Mizuho bought 24,352,700 shares for JPY 199,999,944,900 between May 18 and September 18, 2026. The repurchased shares represented 1.00 percent of shares outstanding before cancellation, and the cancellation was scheduled for October 23, 2026.

The scale matters because the program reached almost the full JPY 200 billion authorization. For investors, that links the latest capital action to per-share support rather than relying only on the bank's operating outlook.

Profit outlook moves to JPY 1.75 trillion

At its September 2026 investor-relations event, Vermögenszentrum reported that management raised the fiscal 2026 outlook for consolidated net business profit to JPY 1.75 trillion and profit attributable to owners of the parent to JPY 1.40 trillion. First-quarter net income rose 45.00 percent year over year, while net business profit increased 81.00 percent.

The same account put return on equity for the past 12 months at 12.50 percent and the operational CET1 range at 9.50 percent to 10.50 percent. That combination gives the market two separate markers: earnings growth and the capital cushion behind further distributions.

Tokyo listing sets the market frame

Mizuho trades as 8411.T on the Tokyo Stock Exchange in JPY under ISIN JP3885780001, according to Global Banking and Finance. The primary-market quote was JPY 8,611.00 on October 1, 2026, with a 52-week range of JPY 4,569.00 to JPY 8,903.00 and market capitalization of JPY 21.0 trillion.

Yahoo Finance lists November 13, 2026 as Mizuho's next earnings date. The upcoming report will test whether the first-quarter improvement can support the raised fiscal-year targets while the buyback and planned cancellation reshape the share count.
