What matters now

  • Solid but not exceptional quality (55/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.
  • For a financial, book-value and earnings-based methods matter more than a cash-flow DCF, which fits banks and insurers poorly.

Analysis

Mizuho Financial Group Inc. (MFG) currently trades at $11.32, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $9.69, implying the stock looks roughly 16.8% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 55/100 (solid quality), in the Financial Services sector. How firm this estimate is: it rests on 26 models at a data quality of 96/100, which puts the evidence level at medium.

Over the trailing twelve months, Mizuho Financial Group Inc. generated revenue of $4.4T at a net margin of 28.4%. Revenue grew 16.7% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 11.4%. Net debt stands at $4.4T. Fundamentals as of Sep 3, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $7.27 (bear case) to $12.12 (bull case); at $11.32, the current price sits within that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades near its 52-week high and 117% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Financial Services peers we cover trades at −17% fair-value upside, at −14%, MFG screens cheaper than that median.

Fair Value models

Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted, family-balanced blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.

Model Bear Bear = the cautious scenario: the same model computed with conservative anchors (lower growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bull it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target.BaseBull Bull = the optimistic scenario: the same model computed with favourable anchors (higher growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bear it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target. Evidence

All values are scores from 0 to 100 (100 = best against fixed, research-based bands), not percentages. The three market factors (momentum, 52-week proximity, low volatility) are displayed but carry zero weight in the headline number: market sentiment is not a business property.
