Earnings, deals and disclosures from Japan's listed financials companies, in English.
Suruga Bank lifted its forecast for net profit in the year to March 2027 to ¥44.0bn and its dividend to ¥80, while relying on a one-off ¥5.6bn reserve release and an assumed January 2027 rate rise.
Toho Bank now expects ¥16bn in net profit for the year to March 2027, a 23% upgrade from its May forecast, and is lifting its annual dividend by ¥5 to ¥26 a share as it now expects loan and securities income to exceed its original forecast.
Group net profit reached ¥2.58bn for the year to March 2026 as Kirayaka Bank logged a second consecutive annual profit, yet ¥20bn of 2009-era public capital stays outstanding after a record loss pushed its repayment back to September 2037, with management saying it may weigh a new capital raise depending on capital levels once that repayment is made.
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.
abc's August 28 transfer of its entire crypto-asset book to ZoomART Foundation completes a two-month exit and produces a ¥6.40bn consolidated loss, only partly offset by a ¥229mn gain tucked inside subsidiary abc CAPITAL's donated meme coins.
Net Protections told investors that price cuts in its consumer buy-now-pay-later business mean underlying gross profit growth is close to flat once a prior-year one-off is removed, and that its credit-card alliance won't add meaningful volume until the second half of this fiscal year at the earliest, with most of the impact landing next year.
Advance Create's floor consolidation in Tokyo generated ¥70mn in compensation income and a ¥41.5mn accounting reversal, but a ¥99.8mn impairment charge alone outweighs that income, adding to losses at a company already ¥6.1bn underwater on its balance sheet.
Bank of Okinawa pushed its loan yield to 1.81% and rode strong local credit demand, lifting parent Okinawa Financial Group's quarterly net profit 41% to ¥3.61bn, even as deposit funding costs nearly doubled.
Two completed exits, including the sale of M&I and Toyo Engineering, generated realized carried interest that pushed Integral's half-year profit to ¥8.77bn from ¥1.70bn a year earlier, its regulatory filing shows.
Suruga Bank's quarterly net profit rose 158.5% to ¥14.1bn, helped by ¥8.2bn in credit-provision reversals and smaller bond losses, but the regional lender left its full-year profit and dividend guidance untouched.
Smaller bond-sale losses at Sony Life and a stake sale still awaiting regulatory sign-off pushed Sony Financial Group's full-year profit outlook from a projected ¥20bn loss to ¥37bn, though the group's preferred earnings gauge stays fixed at ¥110bn because both swing factors are excluded from it.
Rakuten Bank increased its net profit target for the year to March 2027 by ¥6.8bn to ¥88.1bn, pointing to higher loan interest income and June's Bank of Japan rate rise as the main drivers.
Mitsubishi UFJ's June-quarter net profit rose 48% to ¥809.4bn on stronger trading income and equity gains, yet the bank kept its ¥2.7tn full-year profit target and ¥96 dividend forecast unchanged.
Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group's net profit rose 48% to ¥809.4bn in the June quarter on trading and equity gains, yet the group left its ¥2.7tn annual profit target and dividend forecast exactly where they stood before the results landed.
A Bank of Japan rate rise to 1.00% landed in June, six months ahead of Daishi Hokuetsu Financial Group's original December assumption, and the bank now expects a bigger profit and a bigger dividend for the year.
Chugin Financial Group's first-quarter net profit rose 40.3% to ¥13.9bn as higher domestic rates lifted lending income, even as the bank booked ¥19.9bn in losses selling off low-yield bonds, a cost partly offset by ¥18.3bn in stock-sale gains.
Senshu Ikeda Holdings disclosed ¥18.18bn of unrealized losses on held-to-maturity bonds at end-June, a figure bigger than the ¥17.3bn net profit it reported for the year to March 2026 and worth 72.0% of its ordinary profit for that year.
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.
Japan's online broker posted a 95% jump in quarterly net income to ¥5.61bn as individual investors doubled their trading during the market's climb to a record ¥72,000 on the Nikkei, yet it still won't forecast full-year profit or a dividend because brokerage results swing heavily with market conditions.
GMO Financial Holdings booked record first-half revenue and profit as strong CFD trading and higher deposit-linked interest income offset a slump in over-the-counter FX and crypto revenue, letting the company lift its full-year dividend forecast to ¥57.04 per share from ¥54.76 ahead of formal results due August 5.
Aomori Michinoku Bank's held-to-maturity bonds carried a ¥12.07bn unrealized loss at the end of June, more than three times last year's net profit for parent Procrea Holdings, which says its full-year earnings and dividend forecasts still stand.
Japan Post Bank's domestically listed held-to-maturity bonds showed a ¥4.94tn unrealized loss at the end of June, worth 940% of last year's net profit, though the bank says its earnings and dividend forecasts for the year to March 2027 stand unchanged.
Domestic held-to-maturity and policy-matching bonds at Japan Post Insurance carry an unrealized loss worth more than 26 times last year's net profit, yet the insurer says its earnings and dividend guidance for the year to March 2027 is unchanged.
Tohoku Bank's held-to-maturity bonds carry a ¥2.14bn unrealized loss, worth more than the ¥1.69bn net profit it booked for the year to March 2026, even as it holds its current-year earnings forecast steady.
