MUFG has set a profit target of 2.7 trillion yen for the fiscal year 2026, instead of a formal forecast, citing uncertainties in its financial service businesses caused by economic conditions and market environments.
The bank plans to pay interim and year-end dividends of 48 yen per share, each, for the year.
In a separate disclosure, MUFG raised its ROE target for fiscal 2026 to 12% from 9% under its medium-term business plan, citing recent business performance that exceeded initial projections.
The revision comes after the company achieved a 9% ROE in fiscal 2024, reaching its original target early.
