Mitsubishi extended its significant gains, with domestic brokerages upgrading the stock and rating it as a sector top pick.

The stock continued to rise sharply. Mizuho Securities upgraded its investment rating from 'Neutral' to 'Buy' and raised its target price from ¥3,800 to ¥6,190. The upgrade appears to reflect a view that multiple positive factors are at play, including the company's U.S. shale gas operations, full-scale production at LNG Canada, and its exposure to metallurgical coal and copper. Additional tailwinds include heightened LNG demand due to deteriorating conditions in the Middle East and rising power demand from U.S. data centers. Given these dynamics, the firm is seen as particularly well-positioned to benefit in the current business environment, making it a top pick in the trading company sector.
