Sompo Holdings (JP3165000005) was trading at JPY 6,648 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on October 7, 2026, down 0.06 percent at 10:33 a.m. JST. The insurer also highlighted an October 5 update on its share buyback progress, according to Sompo Holdings. The market is weighing a sharp first-quarter earnings increase against a modest intraday decline.

Q1 profit rises to JPY 181.17 billion

For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, Sompo reported revenue of JPY 1,884.293 billion, compared with JPY 1,462.752 billion a year earlier. The increase was 28.83 percent, based on the figures published by The Globe and Mail.

Net profit attributable to the company reached JPY 181.17 billion from JPY 118.59 billion in the comparable quarter. That represents a 52.77 percent increase and gives the earnings story greater weight than the small share-price move recorded during the October 7 session.

Analyst target stays above the stock

On October 1, a US investment bank kept Sompo at Overweight but lowered its price target from JPY 8,670 to JPY 8,460, according to Yahoo Finance Japan. The revised target lies 27.26 percent above the October 7 price.

The same report placed the September 30 consensus at 4.1 from 10 analysts, described as mildly bullish, with a consensus target of JPY 7,448. That target stands 12.04 percent above the October 7 price, creating a narrower market expectation than the individual JPY 8,460 target.
