Hokuhoku Financial Group (ISIN JP3842400008) was last at JPY 868 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on October 5, 2026, down 1.06 percent from the prior close. The current market value is JPY 1,039.3 billion, while the first-quarter figures and a large post-buyback share cancellation shape the investor picture.

First-quarter profit rises 65.9 percent

For the fiscal first quarter ended June 30, 2026, ordinary revenue reached JPY 77.9 billion, up 30.3 percent from the comparable period. Attributable net income rose 65.9 percent to JPY 23.6 billion, according to Note in its September 30, 2026 report.

The company also set an ordinary profit forecast of JPY 89.0 billion for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027, representing a 10.2 percent increase from the prior year. That forecast places the latest quarterly growth against a full-year target that assumes a slower pace after the strong June quarter.

Buyback leads to share cancellation

Hokuhoku completed its treasury-share acquisition program with 1,414,500 shares repurchased for JPY 9,999.29 million, equal to 1.18 percent of the relevant share base. FilingReader reported on September 11, 2026, that the final tranche covered 79,400 shares acquired between September 1 and September 10.

The 10-for-1 stock split took effect on October 1, 2026. The same filing says the company plans to cancel 14,145,000 post-split shares on October 30, 2026, turning the capital-return program into a second near-term corporate event.

Stock remains far below yearly high

At JPY 868, Hokuhoku Financial Group stock stood 90.0 percent below its JPY 8,692 52-week high on October 5, 2026, while the session range was JPY 860.20 to JPY 889.30. Trading volume reached 5,547,800 shares, giving the decline a substantial market backdrop without changing the company-specific earnings picture.

The first-quarter comparison is the key dividing line for investors: ordinary revenue grew 30.3 percent year over year, while attributable net income expanded 65.9 percent. The next test is whether the JPY 89.0 billion full-year ordinary profit forecast can absorb the sharper first-quarter growth rate.
