Nomura's profit surges on trading boom and digital-asset expansion

Wholesale revenue running 30% higher Nomura said wholesale revenue is up over 30% year-on-year, led by equity products, as Tokyo Stock Exchange cash-equity turnover jumped 68% in 2026. That raises the odds Nomura beats the roughly flat 2.2 trillion yen revenue consensus, lifting the shares.
This is the first signal of a strong quarter and directly drives earnings expectations.
Record recurring revenue and 15.4% ROE in Q1 Nomura reported record recurring revenue of 59.2 billion yen and a 15.4% return on equity. Wealth management net revenue rose 9% to 145.4 billion yen, with record net inflows into recurring-revenue assets. Global markets revenue jumped 26%, led by a 41% surge in equities. This shows broad-based profit strength.
It confirms the strong quarter with record recurring revenue and high ROE, a key driver of the stock.
April–June net profit up 39% to 145.5 billion yen Nomura's net profit for the April–June quarter rose 39% year-on-year to 145.5 billion yen, beating expectations. All five major Japanese brokerages posted sharp profit gains, helped by rising interest rates, higher stock prices, and strong sales of investment products. This confirms a sector-wide upcycle.
The earnings beat is the headline number that directly moves the stock and validates the positive trend.
Digital-asset push: US trust charter and ZIG partnership Nomura's Laser Digital won conditional OCC approval for a US national trust bank charter, enabling institutional crypto custody. It also invested in crypto asset ZIG and will co-develop on-chain financial products for institutions. These moves expand future revenue but are early-stage and may take time to pay off.
It shows a new growth avenue in digital assets, though with longer-term impact.

CICC merger clears key approval; Dongxing earnings jump

CICC merger wins Shanghai Stock Exchange approval The Shanghai Stock Exchange approved CICC's share-swap merger with Dongxing and Cinda. This is the biggest step yet toward Dongxing being bought out at a 26% premium to its recent average price, which supports the stock. Final CSRC approval is still pending, so the deal is not yet certain.
This is the period's most important new event and directly drives Dongxing's price through the takeover premium.
First-half profit rises 25% year-on-year Dongxing reported first-half net profit of 1.025 billion yuan, up 25.13% from a year earlier, with second-quarter profit up 90% from the first quarter. Stronger earnings make the company more valuable and support the share price on their own, even aside from the merger.
It is a new, company-specific fundamental result that independently supports the stock price.
New M&A bonus in broker ratings backs consolidation Regulators added a first-ever bonus for mergers and acquisitions in this year's broker rating system, encouraging consolidation. Dongxing is part of a major merger, so it stands to benefit from this policy tailwind, which supports the deal's logic and the stock.
It is a new regulatory change that reinforces the merger trend Dongxing is part of.
Deal still needs final CSRC approval Even after the exchange approval, the merger still requires China Securities Regulatory Commission sign-off, and the company says there is uncertainty it will complete. If the deal were blocked or delayed, the premium embedded in Dongxing's price could shrink, so this is a real risk to watch.
It is the main counterweight that keeps the merger from being a certainty.
