Mebuki Financial Group stock raises outlook after Q1 profit growth

Mebuki Financial Group stock delivered JPY 34.5 billion net income in FY2026 Q1. Guidance stands at JPY 105.0 billion, with 32.8 percent of the target achieved.

Mebuki Financial Group stock closed at JPY 1,682.00 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on September 18, 2026, down 0.21 percent on the session but up 62.04 percent since the start of 2026. The banking group has also raised its full-year earnings outlook after a sharp first-quarter profit increase.

Q1 profit changes guidance

In its FY2026 first-quarter presentation, Mebuki Financial Group reported net income attributable to owners of the parent of JPY 34.5 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. That was JPY 12.2 billion higher than in the same period a year earlier, giving the group its strongest first-quarter profit since the business integration.

The result translates into a 32.8 percent progress rate against the revised full-year forecast. For investors, the key signal is not only the profit level but also the speed at which the annual target is being delivered.

Forecast rises to JPY 105 billion

Mebuki Financial Group raised its FY2026 full-year earnings forecast by JPY 10.0 billion to JPY 105.0 billion. The revised target is supported by a higher net interest income forecast of JPY 222.0 billion, JPY 19.0 billion above the initial plan.

The presentation attributes the improvement to stronger interest spreads between loans and deposits and higher securities income. That combination gives the guidance revision a direct operating link rather than making it solely a cost or one-time effect.

Stock keeps its 2026 gain

Mebuki shares closed at JPY 1,682.00 on September 18, 2026, with a daily decline of 0.21 percent and a year-to-date gain of 62.04 percent. The market reaction therefore sits against a substantial annual advance, while the revised earnings target supplies a fresh fundamental benchmark for the stock.
