Hokuhoku Financial Group (ISIN JP3842400008) was last at JPY 897.40 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on October 7, 2026, with a daily gain of 0.08 percent. The regional banking group has entered a new post-split trading phase after completing a 10 for 1 stock split effective October 1, 2026, while fiscal first-quarter earnings provided the main operating signal.

First quarter shows higher earnings

According to note on October 3, 2026, ordinary revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, rose 30.3 percent year over year, while net income attributable to owners of the parent increased 65.9 percent. The figures make Hokuhoku's first quarter a stronger start than the annual comparison alone would suggest.

The same report links the improvement to the higher interest-rate environment and describes Hokuhoku as a regional bank group centered on Hokuriku Bank and Hokkaido Bank. That structure gives the earnings story a clear operating connection: loan income and regional banking demand are central to the group's results.

Share cancellation follows buyback

The capital-return program is moving into its next stage. Hokuhoku Financial Group disclosed on September 11, 2026, that it had acquired 79,400 shares for JPY 655,541,100 between September 1 and September 10. The completed program covered 1,414,500 shares before the split, and the company plans to retire 14,145,000 post-split shares on October 30, 2026.

The split changes the share count and the quoted per-share price, but it does not by itself change the group's underlying value. For investors, the more meaningful comparison is the combination of 65.9 percent first-quarter net-income growth and the planned reduction in shares outstanding.

Stock remains below yearly high

Hokuhoku Financial Group's JPY 897.40 price on October 7, 2026, stood below the 52-week high of JPY 935.30 and above the 52-week low of JPY 347.80. The market capitalization was JPY 1.1 trillion and trading volume was 374,500 shares on the same date.

The price is therefore close to the upper end of its yearly range, while the operating figures point to a separate question: whether higher earnings can continue after the first quarter. The planned October 30 cancellation is the next concrete capital-allocation date.
