Square Enix Holdings (JP3164630000) received a JPY 2,800 price target and a neutral rating from a US brokerage on September 29, 2026, according to Yahoo Finance. The latest operating figures point to a stronger first quarter, but the target remains below the recent Tokyo Stock Exchange range.

First-quarter profit accelerates

For the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2027, consolidated revenue increased 32.30 percent year over year to JPY 78.423 billion. Operating profit rose 88.60 percent to JPY 17.008 billion, according to note.com, which cited the company's financial results materials.

The comparison is notable because the two growth rates were not merely aligned: operating profit expanded by 56.30 percentage points faster than revenue. That gap points to operating leverage in the reported quarter, although it does not establish the outlook for the full fiscal year.

Target stays below yearly high

The same source said Square Enix maintained its fiscal 2027 forecast for JPY 298.0 billion in revenue, JPY 49.0 billion in operating profit and JPY 31.0 billion in net profit. The company reported its first-quarter results on August 10, 2026, according to its investor-relations page.

Square Enix stock's primary listing is the Tokyo Stock Exchange under ticker 9684, and its 52-week range was JPY 2,325.00 to JPY 3,352.00 on October 1, 2026. The JPY 2,800 target is 16.72 percent below the upper end of that range, giving the analyst call a more cautious tone than the first-quarter profit growth alone.
