The Kiyo Bank (TYO:8370) has raised its full-year consolidated attributable profit forecast by 21% to 17.6 billion yen for fiscal 2025, from 14.5 billion yen earlier, citing better-than-expected net interest income and reduced credit costs.

The upward revision also reflects a higher ordinary income of 98.7 billion yen initially for the fiscal year ended March 31.

The improved outlook follows stronger fee-based revenue and improved asset quality, exceeding previous expectations.

The Kiyo Bank's shares shed nearly 3% at market close.
