Analyst Ratings

The consensus rating is hold, and the consensus target price of $22.26532 sits about 2.43% below the latest price of $22.82. Targets range from $18.00 to $26.531, pointing to a wide spread of views. Within the diversified banks industry, MUFG ranks 47th out of 60 comparable names.
The Week Ahead
Next week brings two US services data points on Monday: the S&P Global Services PMI final (prior 58.7) and ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI (prior 55.4, forecast 55). Tuesday sees international trade balance (prior -88.6, forecast -102) and goods trade balance data. Wednesday brings EIA weekly crude oil and Cushing inventory reports. MUFG’s next earnings disclosure is scheduled for 16 November, covering fiscal Q2 2027 results.
In Short
The stock pulled back this week and lagged the S&P 500 by 2.54 percentage points. A hold consensus and a target slightly below spot, together with a lower industry rank, lean cautious, yet the wide target range shows substantial disagreement among analysts. The key follow-through points are the US services PMI prints next week for macro direction, and the November earnings update for validation of profit expectations.
