Japan Exchange Group, Inc. (8697) said on Oct. 27 it will split its common stock 2-for-1 with a record date of March 31, 2027, and reported first-half net profit attributable to owners of the parent of ¥57.2 billion, up 65.6% from a year earlier.
The company said the split aims to lower its investment unit in response to many individual investors' calls for listed companies to lower theirs. Issued shares will double to 2,044,597,272 from 1,022,298,636, and authorized shares under its articles of incorporation will be raised to 8 billion from 4.17 billion. The year-end dividend for the fiscal year ending March 2027 will be based on the pre-split share count.
The pre-split figure excludes 9,486,700 treasury shares, or 0.92% of issued shares before cancellation, that JPX decided the same day to cancel on Nov. 10, 2026.
For the April-September half under IFRS, trading-related revenue rose 54.9% to ¥53.9 billion as cash equity trading value exceeded the year-earlier level and trading fees increased. Clearing-related revenue rose 79.5% to ¥41.4 billion. Basic earnings per share came to ¥55.95, versus ¥33.46 a year earlier.
