Analysts raise target for Mizuho Financial Group stock to JPY 12,450

Mizuho Financial Group stock received a higher JPY 12,450 target after the previous JPY 10,760 target was revised on October 1, 2026. Simply Wall St attributes the change to updated fair-value assumptions, revenue growth, profit-margin expectations and a higher future price-to-earnings multiple. Citi Depositary Receipt Services identifies MFG as the NYSE ticker for the ADR and assigns it ISIN US60687Y1091.

Three milestones shape the story

On July 30, 2026, Mizuho reported profit attributable to owners of USD 2.65 billion for the first quarter of fiscal 2026, according to Tickerscout.ai. On September 17, 2026, analysts raised the target from JPY 9,800 to JPY 10,760, according to Simply Wall St. The October 1 revision to JPY 12,450 therefore marked a second upward target change within the period covered by the source.

What does the higher target mean?

The target revision puts valuation assumptions at the center of the Mizuho story. The same analysis cites stronger expected margins and a higher future price-to-earnings multiple, while the first-quarter profit figure of USD 2.65 billion supplies the latest reported earnings anchor. For investors, the key contrast is between a higher modeled value and the ADR's much lower euro quotation, which cannot be compared directly because the target is in Japanese yen and the market quote is in euros.

Results date and market level

Mizuho's next reported-results date is November 13, 2026, according to Simply Wall St. The same page lists a December 7, 2026 payment date for the upcoming JPY 75.00 dividend per share, giving the next reporting cycle a second dated shareholder event.
