Mito Securities nearly doubles first-half net profit as revenue climbs

what happened

Mito Securities Co. Ltd. (8622.TO) reported revenue of 9.80 billion yen for the half year ended September 30, 2026, up from 7.34 billion yen a year earlier, under Japanese accounting standards. The figures were published by Dow Jones Newswires.

Operating profit rose to 2.65 billion yen from 1.15 billion yen, and pretax profit reached 2.94 billion yen compared with 1.35 billion yen. Net profit attributable to the parent came in at 1.92 billion yen, against 942 million yen a year earlier. Earnings per share were 32.03 yen, versus 15.59 yen.

The midyear dividend was set at 20 yen per share, up from 15 yen. The report lists an annual dividend of 43 yen.

why it matters

The report covers a single small company, but a near doubling of net profit and a higher midyear dividend matter for investors in its shares and for sentiment toward Japanese brokerages. Operating profit growing faster than revenue suggests costs rose more slowly than income over the period.
