MUFG Targets Mid-Teens ROE and Top-5 Global Market Cap

Summary
MUFG CEO Junichi Hanzawa said the bank aims to lift return on equity to the mid-teens over the medium to long term, above its roughly 12% target for the year ending March 2027.
The push is tied to a renewed goal of breaking into the world's top five banks by market capitalization, with Hanzawa saying MUFG will accelerate structural reforms to get there.
MUFG posted 11.3% ROE in the year ended March 2026, and Hanzawa said leading global banks operate at mid-teen ROE levels that MUFG should also target.
No timetable was given for either goal, but Hanzawa framed the market-cap ambition as unfinished business from MUFG's 2005 launch, when it first set the top-five objective.
