TOKYO, Jan 29 (Pulse News Wire) – Shinkin Central Bank (8421.T) reported lower-than-expected earnings for the quarter ending March 31, 2026. The bank's net profit was ¥414.2 billion compared to ¥316 million in the same period last year, marking a 28% increase.

In terms of operating performance, the bank’s ordinary profit reached ¥531 million, up from ¥437 million in the previous year but below the forecasted ¥550 million.

Despite the decrease, the bank remains within its targeted range outlined in its mid-term strategy plan SCB Strategy 2025.
