Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group's (TYO:8306) profit attributable to owners of the parent surged 30% to 2.427 trillion yen for the fiscal year 2025 from 1.863 trillion yen a year earlier.

Japan's largest financial group's earnings per share increased to 212.34 yen from 159.48 yen a year ago, according to a Tokyo bourse filing on Friday.

Ordinary income climbed 7.3% to 14.621 trillion yen for the year ended March 31 from 13.63 trillion yen in the prior year.

In another filing, the bank raised its final dividend to 51 yen per share, from the initially planned 39 yen, payable from June 29.

MUFG has set a profit target of 2.7 trillion yen for the fiscal year 2026, instead of a formal forecast, citing uncertainties in its financial service businesses caused by economic conditions and market environments.

The bank plans to pay interim and year-end dividends of 48 yen per share, each, for the year.

In a separate disclosure, MUFG raised its ROE target for fiscal 2026 to 12% from 9% under its medium-term business plan, citing recent business performance that exceeded initial projections.

The revision comes after the company achieved a 9% ROE in fiscal 2024, reaching its original target early.
