JAPAN POST INSURANCE Co., Ltd. ( (JP:7181) ) has provided an announcement.
Japan Post Insurance reported a 40.3% year-on-year jump in net income to ¥118.4 billion for the nine months ended December 31, 2025, helped by a smaller first-year policy reserve burden and improved investment spread in a more favorable market environment. Adjusted profit also rose 13.2% to ¥120.3 billion, highlighting solid underlying earnings despite product and sales headwinds.
New individual insurance policy sales fell 48.2%, mainly due to weaker demand for lump-sum payment whole life products, and policies in force declined by 4.3%, or 815,000 contracts, from the previous fiscal year-end. Nevertheless, embedded value increased 10.2% to ¥4,343.8 billion and value of new business grew 9.1%, reflecting higher interest rates and stock market gains that bolstered unrealized equity gains and the franchise’s long-term value, even as the company seeks a swift turnaround in its new business segment.
The most recent analyst rating on (JP:7181) stock is a Buy with a Yen5845.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on JAPAN POST INSURANCE Co., Ltd. stock, see the JP:7181 Stock Forecast page.
