Sompo Holdings reports strong half-year, raises outlook, announces buyback

Sompo Holdings reported strong consolidated financial results for the six months ended September 30, 2025, with net income attributable to owners of parent reaching JPY 360,428 million, a 97.4% increase year-over-year. Total assets grew to JPY 16,356,544 million, and equity attributable to owners of parent increased to JPY 4,774,915 million as of September 30, 2025.

Following these strong results, Sompo Holdings revised its consolidated financial results forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026. The net income attributable to owners of parent is now projected to be JPY 540,000 million, a 61.2% increase from previous forecasts, driven by increased unrealized gains on financial products and lower expected natural disaster claims. Basic earnings per share are forecast at JPY 591.68.

In line with its shareholder return policy, the company also announced a share buyback program. Sompo Holdings plans to repurchase up to 24,000,000 shares, representing 2.64% of issued and outstanding shares, with a total value not exceeding JPY 77,000,000,000. The buyback period is from December 1, 2025, to March 31, 2026.
