Toho Bank stock was last at JPY 1,112 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on October 2, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. JST, up 1.28 percent. The bank's fiscal year ending March 31, 2027, forecast revision is the central driver, with recurring profit raised to JPY 23.8 billion from JPY 19.6 billion.
Profit guidance rises 21.4 percent
Japan IR reported on September 25, 2026, that Toho Bank raised its fiscal 2027 consolidated ordinary profit forecast to JPY 23.8 billion from JPY 19.6 billion, a 21.4 percent increase. The revision also lifted the six-month outlook through September 30, 2026, as lending interest and securities income were expected to exceed the initial assumptions.
The same forecast update set consolidated ordinary income at JPY 147.2 billion and profit attributable to owners of the parent at JPY 16.0 billion for fiscal 2027, according to The Globe and Mail on September 25, 2026. For investors, the important distinction is that the upgrade rests on core banking income rather than a one-off stock-price effect.
Dividend forecast reaches JPY 26
Toho Bank also raised its interim and year-end dividend forecasts to JPY 13 each, taking the planned annual payout to JPY 26 from JPY 17 in the prior fiscal year. Japan IR said on September 25, 2026, that the policy targets a payout ratio of 40.0 percent, with formal approval scheduled for November 6, 2026.
The increase gives the earnings revision a direct shareholder-return angle. It also leaves the bank exposed to the quality and durability of interest income, because lending yields and securities dividends remain central to the forecast, as The Globe and Mail noted in its September 25, 2026 report.
