Suruga Bank (ISIN JP3166800007) lifted its fiscal 2027 ordinary income forecast to JPY 56.0 billion from JPY 47.5 billion on September 30, while the annual dividend forecast rose to JPY 80 from JPY 60. Japan IR reported that the revision covered fiscal 2027 and included higher interim and year-end dividend forecasts.
Forecast rises on lending trends
The revised fiscal 2027 interim ordinary income forecast increased to JPY 34.0 billion from JPY 25.0 billion, a 36.00 percent increase. The full-year figure therefore stands JPY 8.5 billion above the previous forecast, giving the announcement a larger earnings dimension than the dividend change alone.
Minkabu reported that Suruga linked the upgrade to stronger new loan execution, the benefit of higher interest rates and lower effective credit costs. The same report said the interim net income forecast rose to JPY 29.0 billion from JPY 17.0 billion, a 70.59 percent increase, with a reserve release contributing to the outlook.
What the forecast means for capital
The annual dividend forecast is now JPY 80, compared with JPY 60 for the prior fiscal year. The interim and year-end forecasts each stand at JPY 40, up from JPY 30, while the full-year net income forecast increased to JPY 44.0 billion from JPY 32.0 billion.
That combination places earnings and capital returns at the center of the stock story. The forecast also implies that the bank expects operating improvement to continue beyond the first half of fiscal 2027, although the credit-cost assumption remains an important factor for the final result.
