Japan's four major life insurance companies, including Dai-ichi Life and Meiji Yasuda Life Insurance, reported record profits for the fiscal year ending March 2025. Nippon Life's profit rose 32% to exceed 1 trillion yen. The strong results were driven by higher interest and dividend income from domestic and foreign assets, a weaker yen, rising stock prices, and increased bond yields. Despite the record profits, Meiji Yasuda Life Insurance and other Japanese insurers saw unrealized losses on domestic bond holdings increase sharply due to rising interest rates, with Meiji Yasuda's unrealized bond losses growing eightfold in fiscal 2024. Dai-ichi Life stated that these losses are expected to weaken as they are not supported by economic fundamentals. Dai-ichi Life Holdings announced a special bonus of up to 8 million yen for employees, citing the company's strong performance. Five major listed insurance companies also posted record profits. Shareholder meetings for Denso and other Toyota affiliates disclosed financial reports ahead of their meetings to provide investors with more information.
