Dai-ichi Life Holdings (ISIN JP3476480003) delivered adjusted group profit of JPY 158.1 billion in Q1 FY2027, up 113 percent from the prior-year period. Parqet reported the result with adjusted earnings per share of JPY 44.44 against a JPY 27.05 estimate and revenue of JPY 2.893 trillion against JPY 2.4 trillion expected.

Q1 earnings clear estimates

The comparison is material: adjusted profit more than doubled year over year, while Q1 adjusted EPS exceeded the estimate by JPY 17.39. The revenue figure also surpassed the cited estimate by JPY 493 billion, giving the result a broader base than profit alone.

Parqet said portfolio reallocations, domestic equity sales of JPY 300 billion and higher interest and dividend income supported the quarter. Management kept its full-year forecast unchanged and identified interest-rate and market conditions as uncertainties for the remaining fiscal year.
