Guidance\nThe full-year consolidated earnings guidance for the fiscal year ending March 2026 has been revised upward, with ordinary income increasing from 72,000 million yen to 78,000 million yen, and net income attributable to owners of parent increasing from 50,000 million yen to 56,000 million yen. This revision is based on an increase in loans from subsidiary banks, steady interest on loans, growth in securities interest income, and a decrease in credit costs. Accordingly, net income per share is also expected to increase from 410.50 yen to 460.96 yen.\n\n### Revision of Dividend Forecast (Dividend Increase)\nReflecting the upward revision of earnings guidance, the year-end dividend forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2026 has been raised by 20 yen, from 45 yen to 65 yen per share, resulting in an annual dividend increase from 90 yen to 110 yen per share. This represents a significant dividend increase compared to the previous fiscal year's actual annual dividend of 50 yen.","jir_financial_highlights":"Ordinary Income: 78,000 million yen (8.3% increase from previous forecast)\nNet Income Attributable to Owners of Parent: 56,000 million yen (12.0% increase from previous forecast)\nNet Income per Share: 460.96 yen (Unknown)\nAnnual Dividend per Share: 110 yen 00 sen (20 yen increase from previous forecast)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#HokuhokuFinancialGroup, #EarningsGuidanceRevision, #DividendIncrease, #JapaneseStocks","jir_key_figures":"Ordinary Income: 78,000 million yen (8.3% increase from previous forecast)\nNet Income Attributable to Owners of Parent: 56,000 million yen (12.0% increase from previous forecast)\nAnnual Dividend per Share: 110 yen 00 sen (20 yen increase from previous forecast)","jir_meta_title":"Hokuhoku Financial Group Revises Up Ordinary Income by 8.3% and Increases Dividend by 20 Yen for Fiscal Year Ending March 2026","jir_meta_description":"Hokuhoku Financial Group has revised upward its ordinary income to 78 billion yen for the fiscal year ending March 2026 and announced plans to increase the annual dividend to 110 yen.
