Fukuoka Financial Group stock falls 1.12 percent on Tokyo market

Fukuoka Financial Group (ISIN JP3805010000) stock fell 1.12% to JPY 7,659 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on September 24, 2026. The move came as the regional banking group showed higher first-quarter profit and continued earnings exposure to Japanese interest rates.

Profit reaches 28.7 billion yen

In the first quarter of fiscal 2027, consolidated net profit reached JPY 28.7 billion, an increase of JPY 5.9 billion from the comparable period. The result represented 28.7% of the full-year net profit target of JPY 100.0 billion.

Core business profit totaled JPY 39.5 billion in the same quarter, up JPY 5.8 billion year over year and equal to 26% of the full-year target of JPY 152.0 billion. These figures were reported in the company's quarterly briefing summarized by Webull.

Higher rates support bank earnings

Domestic net interest income increased in the quarter as Japanese rates moved higher. The lending yield rose by 25 basis points to 1.5%, while the deposit lending gross margin expanded by 14 basis points to 1.22%.

The earnings mix also contained a counterweight. Noninterest income declined by JPY 3.0 billion because external system sales at Minna Bank were absent, while credit costs showed a JPY 0.8 billion recovery. For investors, the comparison between stronger interest income and weaker fee income is central to the bank's earnings profile.

Stock remains below yearly high

Fukuoka Financial Group carried a market capitalization of JPY 1,447,264,936,350 on September 24, 2026. Its share price was 4.52% below the 52-week high of JPY 8,022, while the 52-week low stood at JPY 4,159.

The closing price was JPY 7,659 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on September 24, 2026, with a daily change of minus 1.12%. The combination of rising quarterly profit and a share price below the yearly high leaves net interest income and the full-year targets as the key numerical checkpoints.
