Mizuho Financial Group (ISIN US60687Y1091) lifted its FY2026 targets to JPY 1.75 trillion in consolidated net business profits and JPY 1.40 trillion in profit attributable to owners on September 29, 2026, according to VZ. The targets followed a strong first quarter and give the stock a fundamental focus beyond its daily quotation.

The companys investor-relations page identifies the first-quarter financial statements as the latest interim results, dated July 30, 2026, while the companys September 29 IR Day update provided the newer outlook context, according to Mizuho Financial Group.

What does the 2.0x book goal require?

Management said first-quarter net income rose 45.00 percent year over year, net business profits increased 81.00 percent, and return on equity for the past 12 months reached 12.50 percent. The reported price-to-book ratio stood at 1.67x in the first quarter, while the group was targeting 2.00x, according to VZ.

The capital-return framework also matters for valuation. Mizuho reiterated a total payout ratio of at least 50.00 percent and set a CET1 operational range of 9.50 percent to 10.50 percent. Those figures frame the balance between higher profitability, capital strength and shareholder distributions.

When is the next result date?
