Mitsui Chemicals (ISIN JP3888300005) faces a JPY 2,250 target after Markets Insider reported on October 8, 2026 that Goldman Sachs cut its target from JPY 2,310. The next reporting date is November 11, 2026, according to Yahoo Finance.

Goldman Sachs turns more cautious

The downgrade moved Goldman Sachs from Neutral to Sell and linked the weaker target to tougher competition from petrochemical imports, particularly from China. The change gives investors a clear counterweight to Mitsui Chemicals' specialty-materials expansion.

The target cut was JPY 60, or 2.60 percent, below the previous JPY 2,310 level. That comparison matters because the company combines higher-value businesses with exposure to cyclical petrochemicals.

What does the operating base show?

For the first quarter of fiscal 2027, revenue was JPY 460.05 billion and earnings were JPY 32.09 billion, while the reported profit margin was 6.98 percent, according to Yahoo Finance. Revenue estimates for the September 2026 quarter average JPY 478.88 billion across two analysts, implying a JPY 18.83 billion comparison with the first-quarter figure.
