Hirogin Holdings Targets Higher Returns With Profit Growth Buyback and Raised 2029 Goals Hirogin Holdings reported fiscal 2026 ordinary income up 24.8% and profit attributable to owners up 22.0%, alongside stronger capital and higher dividends.
The company plans to repurchase up to 1.97% of its own shares for ¥7b.
Management raised 2029 targets in its Mid-Term Management Plan 2024, aiming for at least 11% consolidated ROE and profit attributable to owners of ¥70.0b, citing steady loan growth, better securities returns and greater risk-taking capacity after a bond issuance and capital increase at The Hiroshima Bank.
These moves suggest a company putting excess capital to work, with higher profit targets, dividend increases and a buyback all aligned toward returning value to shareholders.
For investors, key questions include whether Hirogin can maintain the conditions that supported recent results and how much execution risk is embedded in the more ambitious ROE and profit objectives through 2029. Announcement • May 14
