77 Bank Delivers Robust 2026 Earnings With Higher Dividend and New Shareholder Targets 77 Bank reported strong consolidated earnings for FY2026, with ordinary income and profit rising and prior losses reversing.
The bank raised its FY2025 annual dividend to ¥260 per share and implemented a 3-for-1 stock split effective April 1, 2026.
Management revised its shareholder return policy to target a dividend payout of at least 40% by FY2028 and highlighted the potential for share buybacks, aligned with its revised “Vision 2030” plan and focus on higher profitability and capital strength.
The mix of stronger earnings, a higher dividend policy and a stock split points to a management team that is prioritising both a solid financial base and more direct cash returns to shareholders.
You should still weigh how dependent recent profit growth is on loan interest, securities income and equity sales, since any shift in those revenue drivers could affect how comfortably the bank can sustain its updated payout targets. Announcement • May 13
