Bridgestone (ISIN JP3830800003) remains rated Equal-Weight by a US brokerage that raised its target from JPY 3,600 to JPY 3,800 on September 9, 2026, according to Monex. The change puts analyst valuation and shareholder returns at the center of the stock story.

Target rises while rating stays neutral

The brokerage kept its Equal-Weight view while lifting the target by JPY 200, or 5.56 percent versus the previous JPY 3,600 target. The unchanged rating matters because the target increase was not accompanied by a stronger stated recommendation.

A separate September 28 update reported that Bridgestone's fair value was JPY 3,500, down from the JPY 3,800 target cited by Monex. Simply Wall St also reported fiscal 2026 guidance for revenue of JPY 4.5 trillion, profit attributable to owners of parent of JPY 340.0 billion and basic earnings per share of JPY 270.87.

Buybacks strengthen the shareholder case

Bridgestone repurchased 10,530,200 shares between July 1 and August 31, 2026, taking cumulative purchases under the program to 42,649,100 shares, or 3.38 percent of shares, according to Simply Wall St. The repurchase total gives investors a concrete counterweight to the neutral rating.
