Zenkoku Hosho stock enters its ex-dividend phase

Zenkoku Hosho stock was trading at JPY 3,075.00 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Prime market on September 29, 2026, down JPY 8.00 or 0.26 percent from the prior close. The session coincided with the ex-dividend date for an interim payment of JPY 50.00 per share, a timing point highlighted by Simply Wall St on September 25, 2026.

Ex-dividend date sets the tone

Shareholders buying on or after September 29 were not eligible for the dividend, according to Simply Wall St. The payment is scheduled for December 8, 2026, while the company paid JPY 123.00 per share over the previous 12 months.

The immediate market effect is visible in the daily snapshot. Zenkoku Hosho traded between JPY 3,060.00 and JPY 3,099.00, with volume of 209,700 shares, leaving the stock 8.97 percent below its 52-week high of JPY 3,378.00 and above its 52-week low of JPY 2,780.00.

Forecast points to measured growth

Minkabu reported on September 28, 2026, that the analyst consensus price target was JPY 3,680.00, based on five analyst views. That target is 19.67 percent above the September 29 market price, although the consensus figure is an assessment rather than a guaranteed outcome.

The operating picture is steadier than the daily quote. Minkabu lists fiscal 2026 revenue at JPY 58.739 billion and net income at JPY 32.526 billion, compared with company forecasts of JPY 60.600 billion revenue and JPY 32.700 billion net income for fiscal 2027. The revenue forecast implies growth of 3.17 percent, while the net income forecast implies growth of 0.53 percent.

Market value remains substantial

Zenkoku Hosho had a market capitalization of JPY 408.5 billion as of September 29, 2026. Its business centers on credit guarantees in Japan, including support for mortgage, apartment finance, education and other lending products.

The combination of a defined dividend date, moderate fiscal 2027 growth and a consensus target above the current quote gives investors three distinct reference points for reading Zenkoku Hosho stock. The dividend date is immediate, while the forecast and valuation measures extend into the next fiscal year.
