An update from JAPAN POST INSURANCE Co., Ltd. ( (JP:7181) ) is now available.
Japan Post Insurance disclosed that unrealized losses on certain listed held-to-maturity and policy-reserve-matching bonds totaled ¥3,481.1 billion as of December 31, 2025, a level that far exceeds its consolidated ordinary profit and net income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025. Despite this sizable negative valuation gap between the book value and market value of these securities and net unrealized losses of roughly ¥3.25 trillion after offsetting gains, the insurer said it is leaving its earnings and dividend forecasts for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026 unchanged for now, indicating management does not currently expect the market valuation losses to materially alter its full-year outlook, though it pledged to update investors if disclosure-worthy developments emerge.
The most recent analyst rating on (JP:7181) stock is a Hold with a Yen4855.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on JAPAN POST INSURANCE Co., Ltd. stock, see the JP:7181 Stock Forecast page.
