Consolidated subsidiaries include FE Invest (Investment Fund Management & Proprietary Investment) and Kyokuto Property (real estate leasing).

Growth Drivers

  • Rapid expansion in equity brokerage commissions (up 55.7% year on year to ¥1,816 million), driven by the Nikkei Average's 43% rise from the prior fiscal year-end (closing at ¥51,063)
  • Continued strong investment trust sales, expanding underwriting and distribution handling fees (up 15.9%) and other commission income (trust fees, etc., up 35.4%)
  • Increase in financial income (up 10.3%) driven by the Bank of Japan's policy rate hike (implemented in December 2025) and continued yen depreciation (¥158.75 to the dollar at fiscal year-end)
  • High customer loyalty and expanding assets under custody through the Face to Face business model, with differentiation through provision of "distinctive, timely products"
  • Financial soundness maintained through a high capital adequacy ratio of 453.8%, alongside active financial management (realization of ¥3,128 million in gains on sale of investment securities)
  • Operating leverage achieved through restrained selling, general and administrative expenses (down 1.2% year on year to ¥5,154 million)

Risks

  • Risk that performance is heavily influenced by trends in the securities markets (equities and bonds), such that a sharp market decline could simultaneously worsen commission income and trading gains/losses
  • Risk of global market volatility stemming from heightened U.S. reciprocal tariff and Middle East geopolitical risks (including military strikes on Iran and concerns over the closure of the Strait of Hormuz)
  • Risk of decline in the market value of held bonds and contraction of bond and other trading gains/losses due to additional Bank of Japan rate hikes and rising domestic long-term interest rates (10-year JGB yield of 2.345% at fiscal year-end, up 0.86 percentage points from the prior fiscal year-end)
  • Risk of earnings volatility amid deteriorating market conditions, given that bond and other trading gains/losses contracted sharply by 29.0% year on year, increasing reliance on commission income
  • Foreign exchange risk associated with foreign-currency-denominated securities transactions (continued yen depreciation to ¥158.75 to the dollar at fiscal year-end) and foreign currency funding risk
  • Disclosure constraint in that earnings forecasts are not disclosed, making it difficult for investors to form an outlook on business performance
