JAPAN POST HOLDINGS Co ( (JP:6178) ) has issued an update.

Japan Post Holdings Co., Ltd., a major Japanese postal and financial holding company, operates nationwide mail, logistics, banking and insurance services through its extensive post office network and financial subsidiaries. The group focuses on serving retail and business customers across Japan, integrating traditional postal functions with savings, investment and insurance products as part of the country’s core social and financial infrastructure.

For the nine months ended December 31, 2025, Japan Post Holdings reported a modest 1.0% rise in ordinary income to ¥8.41 trillion and a 15.2% increase in net ordinary income, while net income attributable to the company dipped 2.6% to ¥258.1 billion. Total assets declined slightly to ¥291.1 trillion but the equity ratio improved to 3.3%, and the company maintained its dividend policy with a forecast total annual dividend of ¥50 per share and left its full-year earnings guidance unchanged, signaling stable but subdued profit growth and continued shareholder returns.
