Awa Bank (ISIN JP3126800006) raised its fiscal 2027 outlook to JPY 134.8 billion in ordinary revenue and JPY 20.0 billion in net income on September 25, 2026, according to Japan IR. The revision also sets a dividend payout policy of at least 40 percent.

Guidance raises the earnings bar

The revised plan covers fiscal year ending March 31, 2027. It puts ordinary profit at JPY 29.6 billion and earnings attributable to owners at JPY 20.0 billion, while projected earnings per share reaches JPY 102.88.

The latest guidance followed a strong first quarter. Awa Bank reported JPY 36.663 billion in revenue and JPY 5.809 billion in net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. The standardized financial statement also shows earnings per share of JPY 29.88 for that period.

What does the payout policy mean?

The 40 percent threshold gives the revised earnings outlook a direct shareholder-return measure. Japan IR also described an interim dividend of JPY 100 and a year-end dividend of JPY 22 under the announced share-split assumptions.

Three dates show the progression

The chronology starts with the management-target review dated May 15, 2026, followed by a July 28, 2026 update that put forecast net income at JPY 10.1 billion for the first half. The September 25, 2026 guidance revision then set full-year ordinary revenue at JPY 134.8 billion, with each event listed by Japan IR.

Next reporting date is November 13

The next reported earnings date is November 13, 2026, as listed by Simply Wall St. That release will provide the next test of the revised fiscal 2027 assumptions.
