MUFG revises net profit upward for fiscal year 25/3 to 1 trillion 860 billion yen, up from 1 trillion 750 billion yen.

Mitsubishi UFJ <8306> announced a revision of its financial forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2025. The net profit was revised upwards from 1 trillion 750 billion yen to 1 trillion 860 billion yen. This was due to the recording of one-time gains such as profits from the sale of policy-held Stocks and the reversal of costs related to L's credit relationships, utilizing these gains to conduct a restructuring of the Bond portfolio from a balance sheet management perspective, implementing measures for future enhanced profitability. The year-end Dividend per share was raised by 4 yen from the previous forecast to 39 yen (the previous period was 20 yen).

The index has recovered to the 36,000 yen range for the first time in a month.

The Nikkei average has risen for five consecutive trading days. It ended with a gain of 205.39 yen at 36,045.38 yen (with an estimated Volume of 2.2 billion 80 million shares), recovering the 36,000 yen mark for the first time in about a month. Increased expectations for a rise due to the strong US stock market and progress in US tariff negotiations led the buying. The Nikkei average briefly returned above 36,000 yen right after trading began. However, as it surpassed the key level of 36,000 yen, opposing sentiments emerged, and gradually a wait-and-see mood spread, resulting in consolidation around 35,900 yen. Toward the end of the afternoon session, index buying is expected from pension funds at the end of the month.

The Nikkei average has risen for four consecutive trading days. It ended trading at 35,839.99 yen, up 134.25 yen (with an estimated Volume of 2 billion 10 million shares). Following the purchase of tech stocks in the US market last weekend and favorable movements from major companies' earnings reports, the Nikkei average started with a buying lead, shortly rising to 36,075.26 yen after the trading began, recovering to the 36,000 yen level for the first time in about four weeks since April 1. Additionally, due to the yen depreciating to around 143 yen per dollar, export-related stocks were repurchased.
