Nippon Insure Co., Ltd. Revises Earnings & Dividend — Profit Up 16%
Nippon Insure Co., Ltd. (TSE:5843) has raised its earnings and dividend forecasts for the fiscal year ending September 2026, citing improved operational efficiency and higher collection rates despite flat revenue expectations.

The company attributes the upward revision to new value-added product development and business partnerships that enhance customer convenience. Nippon Insure has accelerated its use of SMS-based web billing, automated calling systems, and AI-powered operator functions to streamline collections. The firm has also strengthened early-stage delinquency response protocols, maintaining elevated recovery rates across its portfolio.
The revision signals meaningful margin expansion without top-line growth. Operating profit, ordinary income (keijo rieki), and net profit all increased 15–17%, reflecting stronger profitability from core underwriting and collections operations. The year-end dividend has been raised by JPY 3.00/share to JPY 25.00/share, a 13.6% increase, underscoring management’s commitment to shareholder returns. International investors should note that ordinary income in Japan includes non-operating items such as interest and dividend income, distinguishing it from operating profit under IFRS or US GAAP standards.
