Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (US6068221042) was trading at EUR 20.05 at Lang & Schwarz on October 1, 2026, at 9:07 a.m. CEST, down 2.20 percent versus the prior close of EUR 20.50. On September 24, 2026, a MUFG subsidiary received a banking license and changed its name to MUFG Emut Bank, according to MUFG.

Banking license expands MUFG reach

The license marks the latest step in MUFG's international operating structure and gives the group another regulated banking platform. The September 24 announcement followed September disclosures on private-credit collaboration discussions with BlackRock and Morgan Stanley Investment Management, also listed by MUFG.

First-quarter profit reaches JPY 846.6 billion

MUFG's consolidated net income reached JPY 846.6 billion in the first quarter of fiscal 2027 ended June 30, 2026, while diluted earnings per share stood at JPY 71.59. The prior-quarter net income was JPY 644.5 billion, making the first-quarter figure 31.36 percent higher, based on the latest financial series and the period information shown on the company's investor-relations page.

Analyst forecast adds a counterpoint

Erste Group Bank retained a Buy rating but lowered its fiscal 2027 earnings-per-share forecast to USD 1.62 from USD 1.64 in a report dated September 18, 2026, as reported by MarketBeat. The same report cited a current-year consensus estimate of USD 1.59 per share, so the forecast revision is cautious even as the rating remains positive.

Stock trades below prior close

At the NYSE, MUFG's latest quoted price was USD 23.07 on September 30, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. ET, while the one-year range was USD 14.62 to USD 24.26 and market capitalization was USD 260.2 billion as of October 1, 2026.
