Sumitomo posted first-half fiscal 2026 (ending March 2027) net profit of JPY 348 billion, up 15% year over year. Profit growth was driven by higher metal prices, a weak Japanese yen, higher asset turnover from energy, and contributions from Sumisho Air Lease and SCSK. Sumitomo raised guidance by 6%.
Shareholder returns via dividends and share buybacks have been increasing in recent years.
Large exposure to infrastructure, real estate, and leasing can tie up capital and offer limited opportunities for long-lasting competitive advantages.
