Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group stock (ISIN US6068221042) closed at USD 23.48 on the NYSE on September 25, 2026, up 4.03 percent for the session. The move gives investors a concrete market reference as MUFG enters the next phase of its earnings cycle, with fiscal 2026 profit and the fiscal 2027 outlook providing the central valuation context.

Profit reaches JPY 2,427.2 billion

MUFG reported profit attributable to owners of JPY 2,427.2 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, an increase of 30.3 percent from the prior year, according to Parqet. The same report put ordinary income at JPY 14,620.8 billion, up 7.3 percent, while ordinary profit rose 27.7 percent to JPY 3,410.1 billion.

The earnings increase is material because it gives the stock a stronger profit base than the previous fiscal year. Basic earnings per share reached JPY 213.17 in fiscal 2026, compared with JPY 160.02 in fiscal 2025 in the standardized annual financial data, a year-over-year increase of 33.2 percent.

Fiscal 2027 outlook sets the next test

MUFG forecast profit of JPY 2,700.0 billion for fiscal 2027 and planned total dividends of JPY 96.00 per share, according to Parqet. That profit target is JPY 272.8 billion, or 11.2 percent, above the fiscal 2026 result, while the planned dividend is JPY 10.00 higher than the JPY 86.00 total dividend reported for fiscal 2026.

MUFG's investor-relations page identifies the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, as its latest financial-information period and lists presentation materials posted May 19, 2026, according to MUFG. Separately, Yahoo Finance reported on September 28, 2026, that MUFG held a Zacks Rank of number 2, or Buy, while its shares had gained 46.38 percent over the previous year, a comparison that places the latest session move within a much broader performance trend.
