MHI earns ratings: Mitsubishi Heavy Industries stock falls 4.76 percent

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (JP3900000005) was trading at EUR 20.62 at Lang & Schwarz on October 8, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. CEST, down 4.76 percent versus the prior close of EUR 21.65. The company said on October 8 that its Australian air-conditioner business received high ratings from CHOICE, Canstar and Finder, giving the stock a fresh operating headline while the market quote remained under pressure.

Air conditioners win customer ratings

According to Mitsubishi Heavy Industries on October 8, 2026, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Air-Conditioners Australia received CHOICE's 2026 Best Brand award, its eighth win overall. Canstar also named the business its 2026 Most Satisfied Customers winner for installed air conditioners, while Finder recognized products in six categories.

The product-level evidence is concrete: Canstar gave the air conditioners five stars across overall satisfaction, value for money, performance, features and functionality, quietness, and design. For investors, the announcement adds customer-recognition evidence to a group whose reported operating drivers extend well beyond its energy, infrastructure, aerospace and defense activities.

First-quarter growth supports guidance

In its summary dated October 5, 2026, Quartr reported first-quarter fiscal 2026 revenue of JPY 1,194.2 billion, up 16.00 percent from the year-earlier period. Order intake reached JPY 2,022.4 billion, an increase of 26.00 percent, while business profit rose 65.00 percent to JPY 159.6 billion.

The same summary put the order backlog at JPY 14.1 trillion, up JPY 865.3 billion from fiscal 2025 year-end. Fiscal 2026 revenue and business profit guidance stayed at JPY 5.4 trillion and JPY 540.0 billion, respectively, while order-intake guidance increased to JPY 7.0 trillion.

Shipbuilding adds a capital test

A separate capacity project gives the growth figures a capital-allocation counterpoint. Baird Maritime reported on October 6, 2026 that Mitsubishi Heavy Industries plans to invest JPY 100.0 billion in a Shimonoseki shipbuilding expansion, with capacity targeted to rise 25.00 percent in fiscal 2028.

The project is intended to strengthen commercial shipbuilding, but it also makes execution and returns important counterweights to the order and backlog momentum. The contrast is visible in the numbers: first-quarter order intake grew 26.00 percent, while the new site requires JPY 100.0 billion of investment.
