Mizuho Financial Group remains a 'Buy' as it benefits from BOJ rate hikes and robust internal initiatives. MFG raised FY26 net profit guidance by 7.7% to ¥1.4T, implying 12.1% YoY growth, with further upside if rates rise again. Retail banking, asset management, and investment banking units are driving growth, while cost controls and AI adoption enhance efficiency.

Does Mizuho (MFG) have what it takes to be a top stock pick for momentum investors? Let's find out.

Mizuho (MFG) might move higher on growing optimism about its earnings prospects, which is reflected by its upgrade to a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).

Mizuho Financial Group remains a Buy, based on my assessment of its rate sensitivity and capital return outlook. MFG stands to benefit most among Japanese megabanks from a likely Bank of Japan rate hike. Mizuho has prudently invested in Rakuten Bank via a share swap rather than a direct cash infusion. This means that it retains financial capacity for future buybacks and dividends.

Japan's three megabanks are likely to continue setting new earnings records as the central bank's monetary policy normalization boosts their margins. Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group and Mizuho Financial Group are each expected to report record net income for the fiscal year that ended March 31, 2026.
