ORIX stock (ISIN JP3200450009) was last at JPY 5,877.00 on October 7, 2026, up 0.12 percent in Tokyo. The financial services group has started two Japanese battery storage projects with a combined capacity of 145 MW and 589 MWh, according to Enerdata on October 5, 2026.

Battery portfolio reaches 145 MW

The portfolio consists of the 70 MW Yufu project in Oita Prefecture and the 75 MW Yonezawa project in Yamagata Prefecture. Operations are scheduled to begin in 2028 and 2030, respectively, giving ORIX a long-dated expansion path in grid-scale storage.

These are ORIX's first grid-scale battery developments financed through third-party capital. ORIX will retain a 23.7 percent ownership stake, while three external investors will hold the remaining 76.3 percent; the group will provide asset management and operating support.

FY2026 profit rose 27.2 percent

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, ORIX reported revenue of JPY 3.33 trillion, up 15.9 percent from JPY 2.87 trillion a year earlier, according to Yuhodb. Net income attributable to shareholders rose to JPY 447.3 billion from JPY 351.6 billion, an increase of 27.2 percent.

The earnings profile gives the battery projects a broader context. ORIX combines financing, asset management and operating businesses, so retaining a minority stake while supplying management services can expand energy exposure without funding the entire asset base on its balance sheet.

The upcoming interim results are scheduled for November 9, 2026, according to the same Investing.com earnings calendar. That date is the next checkpoint for whether the fiscal 2026 growth rates are continuing into the current reporting year.
