Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group booked a 48.2% jump in net profit for the three months to June 30, 2026, to ¥809.4bn, as trading income, equity gains, and returns from equity-method partners all strengthened. Ordinary profit rose 57.8% to ¥1.12tn, and ordinary income climbed 20.1% to ¥3.91tn from ¥3.25tn a year earlier.
| Metric | Apr-Jun 2026 | Apr-Jun 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Ordinary income | ¥3.91tn | ¥3.25tn |
| Ordinary profit | ¥1.12tn | ¥708.5bn |
| Net profit attributable to owners | ¥809.4bn | ¥546.1bn |
| ROE (TSE basis) | 14.40% | 10.78% |
| Total assets (period-end) | ¥433.9tn | ¥431.7tn (March 2026 year-end) |
The gains were broad rather than concentrated in one line. Trading profit rose to ¥133.3bn from ¥80.6bn, income from equity-method affiliates rose to ¥261.6bn from ¥158.0bn, and gains on equity holdings roughly tripled to ¥98.9bn from ¥30.3bn. Comprehensive income, which folds in currency-translation and hedging swings, jumped to ¥1.14tn from ¥135.6bn, a 741.3% increase, as the bank's foreign-currency translation adjustment flipped from a ¥279.3bn loss a year ago to a ¥133.5bn gain.
Management did not raise its guidance despite the strong start. MUFG kept its target for net profit attributable to owners of the parent at ¥2.7tn for the year to March 2027, unchanged from the figure it gave on May 15, and it repeated that it issues a profit target rather than a formal earnings forecast because of uncertainty tied to the economic and market environment. The annual dividend forecast also stayed at ¥96 per share, up from ¥86 paid out for the year to March 2026, split into ¥48 interim and ¥48 year-end payments.
Return on equity, measured on a Tokyo Stock Exchange basis, rose to 14.40% from 10.78% a year earlier. Total assets stood at ¥433.9tn as of June 30, 2026, up from ¥431.7tn at the end of March, while the bank's non-performing loan ratio on a consolidated basis improved to 0.80% from 0.96%.
The disclosure itself is a formality: MUFG released these figures on August 3, 2026, and this notice, dated August 6, confirms that Deloitte Tohmatsu's interim review, completed August 5, found no changes to the numbers first published. The substance is in the quarter's momentum against a target management has chosen not to move, three months into a twelve-month run.
