Quarterly profit moves higher

LNG contract raises order visibility

The main operating backdrop is the LNG Canada Phase 2 expansion. Engineering News-Record reported on October 2, 2026, that JGC and Fluor will evenly split a US$15 billion engineering, procurement and construction contract.

That implies a US$7.5 billion share for JGC, while the project adds two liquefaction trains and a storage tank. The facility is designed to double output from 14 million tonnes per year to 28 million tonnes per year, increasing backlog visibility while keeping execution discipline central to the investment case.

The average target lies 12.4 percent above the JPY 2,241.50 price. JGC's market capitalization was JPY 542.1 billion on October 6, 2026, and volume reached 1,032,300 shares, giving the analyst view a clear valuation checkpoint rather than a directional signal.
