Mizuho Leasing Lifts Earnings and Dividend, Maps Alliance-Driven Growth for FY 2027

Mizuho Leasing Company, Limited ( (JP:8425) ) just unveiled an announcement.

Mizuho Leasing reported a 32.5% year-on-year jump in net sales to ¥921.6 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, while operating profit declined 8.8% and ordinary profit slipped 1.9%, but profit attributable to owners of the parent rose 13.3% to ¥47.6 billion, supported by higher equity-method income. The company strengthened its financial position with total assets climbing to ¥4.18 trillion and net assets to ¥454.5 billion, raised its annual dividend to ¥51 per share, and issued a forecast for FY 2027 that assumes new class share issuance, capital and business alliances with Mizuho Financial Group and Nippon Steel Kowa Real Estate, and the rollout of an employee stock ownership plan, signaling both shareholder returns and strategic expansion despite an expected decline in operating profit.

For the year ahead, Mizuho Leasing projects operating profit of ¥40.0 billion, ordinary profit of ¥67.0 billion, and profit attributable to owners of the parent of ¥52.0 billion, implying a 9.2% increase in bottom-line earnings even as operating profit is forecast to fall. The integration of new capital alliances and equity-based incentives is likely to deepen group synergies, modestly dilute per-share metrics while sustaining a stable dividend policy of ¥52 per share, and potentially enhance long-term growth prospects and governance from the perspective of shareholders and employees.
