Nomura Holdings' profit growth exceeded expectations. Japan's largest brokerage firm, like Wall Street Bank, is also benefiting from intense stock trading activities. The Tokyo-based company issued a statement on Wednesday saying that in the first fiscal quarter ending June 30, net profit increased 39% year over year to 145.6 billion yen. This figure exceeds the average estimate of 111.5 billion yen given by the three analysts. CEO Kentaro Okuda is now in his 7th year at Nomura. He is committed to generating stable profits through businesses that generate recurring revenue and are less affected by market cycles. Thanks to favorable factors such as the boom in retail investment in Japan and increased global stock market volatility, Nomura's profit for the last fiscal year reached a record high for the second year in a row.
