Q1 profit reaches JPY 501.372 billion

MetaTrader reports that SMFG posted Q1 FY2027 ordinary income of JPY 2.850426 trillion for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared with JPY 2.444404 trillion a year earlier. Ordinary profit rose 43.4 percent to JPY 693.136 billion from JPY 483.337 billion.

The results were announced on July 31, 2026, according to Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group. The comparison matters because the profit increase was larger than the 16.6 percent rise in ordinary income, indicating stronger earnings conversion in the quarter.

Fiscal 2027 guidance stays higher

SMFG's fiscal year ending March 31, 2027 forecast calls for JPY 1.7 trillion in profit attributable to owners of parent, a 7.4 percent increase from the prior fiscal year, according to MetaTrader. The same filing summary gives a diluted earnings forecast of JPY 223.58 after the stock split.
