Sumitomo ( (JP:8053) ) has provided an update.

Sumitomo Corporation reported consolidated results for the nine months ended 31 December 2025 showing modest top-line growth and mostly flat earnings. Revenues edged up 1.2% year on year to ¥5.38 trillion, while profit before tax slipped 1.0% to ¥519.5 billion and profit for the period was essentially flat at ¥449.9 billion; profit attributable to owners of the parent declined 1.9% to ¥408.5 billion and basic earnings per share fell slightly to ¥338.72. Despite a lower equity ratio of 35.0% as total assets expanded to roughly ¥13.0 trillion, comprehensive income surged 55%, signalling stronger valuation gains and other income components. The company maintained its full-year profit forecast of ¥570 billion attributable to owners of the parent, implying a small 1.4% increase versus the prior year, and kept its dividend guidance unchanged, targeting a total annual payout of ¥140 per share, up from ¥130, underscoring a continued commitment to shareholder returns even amid stable operating profits and an ongoing share buyback that has reduced average shares outstanding.
