Fukuoka Financial stock falls 2.08 percent as Q1 EPS beats

Fukuoka Financial stock was trading at JPY 7,866 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange at 10:49 a.m. JST on October 7, 2026, down 2.08 percent from the previous close. The latest quarterly figures show an earnings beat, while analyst expectations remain above the market price.

Q1 EPS beats the estimate

For Q1 FY27, GAAP earnings per share reached JPY 151.92 against an estimate of JPY 118.66, according to Yahoo Finance. The same quarterly view lists revenue of JPY 81.48 billion, earnings of JPY 28.71 billion and a profit margin of 35.23 percent for Q1 FY27.

The EPS comparison is the clearest operating signal in the available figures: actual GAAP EPS exceeded the estimate by JPY 33.26, or 28.03 percent. That result gives the stock a stronger earnings reference than the October 7 price move alone.

Target rises above the market

A European major securities firm kept its Buy rating on October 1, 2026, and lifted its price target from JPY 8,000 to JPY 10,000, according to Monex. The move puts the new target JPY 2,134 above the October 7 trading price.

The same report placed the September 30, 2026, consensus at JPY 8,635 from eight analysts, with a slightly bullish rating. That consensus target stood 9.77 percent above the JPY 7,866 price, creating a measurable gap between analyst expectations and the current quote.

Stock remains below yearly high

Fukuoka Financial was trading JPY 194 below its 52-week high of JPY 8,060 and JPY 3,707 above its 52-week low of JPY 4,159 on October 7, 2026. The finance group therefore remained close to its yearly peak despite the 2.08 percent intraday decline.

StockMarketCap.eu classifies Fukuoka Financial Group as a Tokyo-listed regional bank in the financial services sector. Its market capitalization was JPY 1.5 trillion on October 7, 2026, while the quoted volume was 426,600 shares.
