JGC Holdings (ISIN JP3667600005) has a JPY 3,000 price target from Nomura/Instinet, which kept its rating at Buy on September 1, 2026, according to Investing.com.

Revenue fell in the first quarter

JGC reported first-quarter fiscal 2027 revenue of JPY 159.30 billion, down 16.10 percent from the prior-year quarter. Net income reached JPY 11.62 billion, while operating profit rose 56.40 percent to JPY 12.36 billion, according to Yahoo Finance.

The mixed operating picture leaves project execution as the key operating measure. Revenue contracted, but operating profit more than doubled from the prior-year period, giving investors a different signal from the top-line decline.
