清水銀行 announced on the 26th that consolidated net income for the fiscal year ending March 2027 is expected to reach ¥2.9 billion, up 45% from the previous fiscal year. The forecast has been revised upward by ¥400 million from the previous estimate, with increases in interest on loans and interest and dividends on securities cited as factors driving the increase in profit.
Ordinary profit is expected to rise 50% to ¥4.7 billion, ¥900 million above the previous forecast. As part of its shareholder return policy, the bank indicated that it plans to pay an annual dividend of ¥70, compared with ¥60 for the previous fiscal year, and maintain a dividend payout ratio of approximately 30%.
The upward revision to profit appears to have been driven by growth in interest income, a core component of the bank’s earnings base.
