Toho Bank stock (ISIN JP3488800008) is tied to a JPY 16.0 billion full-year profit forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027, after the bank revised its outlook upward on September 25, 2026, according to The Toho Bank. The revision also lifted full-year ordinary income to JPY 147.2 billion and ordinary profit to JPY 23.8 billion.
Forecast rises on banking income
The revised consolidated profit forecast increased from JPY 13.0 billion to JPY 16.0 billion, a 23.1 percent increase. Basic earnings per share moved from JPY 52.03 to JPY 64.01 for the same fiscal year.
The bank attributed the changes to higher expected interest income from loans and discounts, together with increased interest and dividend income from securities. That mix gives the forecast a direct link to lending conditions and securities performance rather than to a change in the bank's stated business model.
What does the upgrade change?
The first-half forecast for the six months ending September 30, 2026, also rose. Ordinary income was revised to JPY 83.5 billion from JPY 51.7 billion, while profit attributable to owners of the parent increased to JPY 8.1 billion from JPY 5.9 billion, according to The Toho Bank. The bank's own release states that actual results may differ as lending, securities income and other conditions develop.
Dividend decision comes November 6
Toho Bank also raised its interim and year-end dividend forecasts by JPY 2.50 per share each, pointing to an annual forecast of JPY 26.00 for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027. Japan IR reports that the formal dividend decision is scheduled for November 6, 2026, with a planned payout ratio of 40.6 percent.
