Japan Exchange Group's operating profit rose 65.1% to ¥84.67bn in the six months to September as cash-equity fees and clearing income surged, while the full-year forecast and the ¥82 dividend plan stayed unchanged.
Japan Exchange Group will split its shares two for one from April 2027, citing retail investors' wish for smaller trading units, and will cancel 9,486,700 treasury shares on 10 November.
Japan Exchange Group now projects ¥105.0bn in profit attributable to owners for the year ending March 2027, up 6.6% from its July forecast, after raising its assumed trading value for cash equities and index options and its assumed bond-futures trading volume, and it raised its planned annual dividend to ¥82.00 a share from ¥77.00.
A trading boom that more than doubled Tokyo's daily equity turnover pushed Japan Exchange Group to raise its profit outlook for the year to March 2027 by more than a quarter and lift its dividend forecast to ¥77 a share from ¥61.
