Earnings, deals and disclosures from Japan's listed financials companies, in English.
Aeon Financial Service's net profit for the quarter to May more than doubled to ¥8.97bn as Japanese loan and card-fee income rose and Malaysia and Hong Kong expanded, yet the group's forecast for a 28.9% full-year profit decline is unchanged.
New York-based Indus Capital Partners now holds 11.15% of Suruga Bank's voting rights, up from 9.38%, after an amended large-shareholding report filed with Japan's Kanto Local Finance Bureau on July 8.
One client's collapse leaves Towa Bank facing ¥8bn in troubled loans, worth 8.83% of its consolidated net assets, with ¥5.89bn due for full provisioning within the year.
The number: Sony Bank is putting $40 million (about ¥6.4bn) behind a new wholly owned US trust company, Connectia Trust, National Association, due to open in July 2026, with room to add more capital later and no representative named yet.
The number: Aviation Capital Group's Irish funding arm signed a five-year, unsecured loan worth $1,476.5mn with a 33-bank syndicate led by DBS Bank. The catch: the covenants, an interest coverage floor of 1.5x, minimum net assets of $1.5bn, and an unsecured-asset cushion of 125% of unsecured liabilities, are tested against ACG's own consolidated balance sheet, not the borrowing entity's.
The move: Muninoba’s tender offer succeeded and Aiful is handing over its 6,408,000-share block on July 9, giving the buyer 77.67 per cent of Anshin Guarantor Service’s voting rights. The catch: that is still below 90 per cent, so the final squeeze-out and delisting steps now run through an early-September extraordinary meeting.
The move: Resona Holdings is raising ¥70bn through unsecured bonds, split between ¥40bn of three-year notes and ¥30bn of five-year debt, under a ¥400bn shelf effective until May 2028.
The move: Mizuho's plan pairs a ¥73.5bn 10-year subordinated note with a ¥107.0bn callable 10-year tranche. The catch is in the clauses, both carry write-down-upon-insolvency and subordination terms, so the filing reads as capital management as much as funding.
The 10-year issue is split between a ¥73.5bn tranche and a ¥107bn tranche with an early-redemption clause, leaving ¥2.81tn of unused capacity under Mizuho's current programme.
The number: Insurance revenue rose to ¥6.44tn in the year to March, lifting profit attributable to owners to ¥510.6bn and owners' equity to ¥6.42tn. A separate controls report said financial-reporting controls were effective, but the filing excerpt does not show the profit mix behind the jump.
The number: corrected annual accounts show unbanked swung to a ¥2.827bn ordinary loss after ¥1.34bn in gold-trade receivables went uncollected. The catch: the auditor gave an unqualified opinion, but the company still judged its reporting controls ineffective and the TSE had already put the shares on special alert.
The move: shareholders approved a 28 yen year-end dividend worth ¥19.54bn and a ¥25bn transfer into general reserve, while re-electing president Tsutomu Yonemoto and a 10-director slate.
Fukushima Bank says its largest shareholder transferred all of its shares to SBI Shinsei Bank on June 30, changing the direct holder of the stake without disclosing a price or wider strategic rationale.
A three-holder bloc now discloses 15,402,330 shares and related securities in eole after Dynamic Solution Group lifted its own ratio above 10%, while the amendment also flags changes to collateral arrangements.
Read-through: Japan Asia Investment withdrew a charter amendment before its June 30 annual meeting after saying shareholder views warranted a rethink of the authorized-share change. A separate disclosure showed Governance Partners holds 23.63% of voting rights and shares the chief executive, adding context on the governance set-up, not proof of who objected.
The move: J-Lease's annual report shows net sales of ¥21.57bn, ordinary income of ¥3.59bn and parent profit of ¥2.47bn, with total assets reaching ¥22.14bn as the rent-guarantee specialist keeps expanding.
Monex Group's chief executive will have a standard pay mix of 40% base pay, 25% short-term incentive and 35% long-term incentive under a policy overhaul that adds profit, ROE, relative TSR and mission goals to the scorecard.
Net income attributable to shareholders rose to ¥1.16tn in the year to March 2026, while total assets reached ¥294.9tn and loans, securities and trading assets all moved higher.
The move: shareholders approved a capital reduction and surplus appropriation at the June 25 AGM with 97.93% support, though the report excerpt leaves the amount and effective date unclear.
The filing splits that between a 39.57% direct stake and 6.08% aggregated holding, while Nissan Securities Group says decision-making independence was intact and discloses one overlapping director.
Wedge Holdings says a ¥388mn loan to parent Showa Holdings has never been repaid and that immediate payment is difficult, so it is taking pledges over four subsidiary stakes while broader financing terms remain under negotiation. The collateral is mixed at best: two stakes carry disclosed values of ¥71.9mn and ¥30.9mn after haircuts, while two others are assigned memorandum values of ¥1 each.
Sales fell to ¥2.33bn and the company posted a ¥549.0mn ordinary loss, an improvement on the previous year's ¥986.3mn loss but not a recovery. Lower revenue alongside another red-ink year is enough to explain why balance-sheet watchers keep the name on the list.
Ordinary income came in at ¥6.01bn and profit attributable to owners of parent at ¥3.93bn, even as sales fell to ¥35.84bn from ¥39.34bn a year earlier. Total assets still stood at ¥219.59bn, so the balance sheet remains the bigger number on the page.
Chiba Kogyo Bank will spend up to ¥2.38bn to buy back all 4,723 outstanding Second Series Seventh preferred shares on Aug. 17 at ¥503,427.40 each. The bank said this class goes first because it has the largest holder base, part of a capital-structure cleanup before a planned April 2027 holding-company setup with Chiba Bank that still needs shareholder and regulatory approval.
