Mitsubishi Chemical Group (JP3897700005) received a raised target of JPY 1,380 on October 9, 2026, up from JPY 790. According to Yahoo Finance, a Japanese major securities firm also upgraded its rating from neutral to slightly bullish.

Three dated developments

On July 31, 2026, Mitsubishi Chemical Group raised its first-half fiscal 2027 core operating profit forecast to JPY 194 billion from JPY 139 billion, according to Corporate Visit. On September 17, 2026, payment was completed for a treasury stock disposition covering 819,300 shares at JPY 1,171 each, as reported by Japan IR. The October 9, 2026 rating change was the latest of the three developments, with the target moving from JPY 790 to JPY 1,380.

What changed in the first quarter?

Mitsubishi Chemical Group reported first-quarter fiscal 2027 revenue of JPY 1.004 trillion, compared with JPY 880.652 billion a year earlier. Net income increased to JPY 57.706 billion from JPY 16.707 billion, while net margin rose from 1.90 percent to 5.70 percent, according to Simply Wall St on October 4, 2026. The comparison points to a sharper earnings recovery than the revenue increase alone suggests.

Target increase meets execution risk

The target change came alongside a consensus target of JPY 1,401 from 10 analysts as of October 8, 2026, according to Yahoo Finance. The revised JPY 1,380 target therefore sits JPY 21 below that consensus, while the rating moved only to slightly bullish rather than an outright bullish classification.

Simply Wall St also highlighted the counter-factor: Mitsubishi Chemical Group remains exposed to basic materials, restructuring costs, regulation and competition in methyl methacrylate. That leaves the first-quarter margin improvement dependent on whether specialty materials and portfolio reforms can offset weaker legacy operations.

Last euro quote remains dated

The last available quote at Lang & Schwarz was EUR 6.52 on October 12, 2026 at 10:57 p.m. CEST. Mitsubishi Chemical Group is listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange under ticker 4188, with the primary-market quote last shown at JPY 1,143 on October 9, 2026.
