An update from Chiba Kogyo Bank, Ltd. ( (JP:8337) ) is now available.

The Chiba Kogyo Bank has disclosed that, as of March 31, 2026, it recorded unrealized losses of ¥15,063 million on bonds held to maturity across the bank and its consolidated subsidiaries, against a book value of ¥112,453 million and market value of ¥97,390 million. These unrealized losses are sizeable relative to prior-year results, equating to 141.0% of consolidated ordinary profit and 201.9% of profit attributable to owners of parent for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025.

Despite the scale of the unrealized losses on held-to-maturity bonds, the bank says there will be no change to its earnings forecast or dividend projection for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026. The impact is partly offset by valuation gains of ¥27,776 million on available-for-sale securities, leaving total valuation gains on securities at ¥12,720 million, suggesting that while interest-rate and market moves have pressured specific bond holdings, the bank’s overall securities portfolio remains in a net gain position.
