Nomura: H1 earnings rose strongly, but Q2 profit fell QoQ and uncertainty kept guidance on hold

Nomura's first-half net revenue rose 24.6% year on year and shareholder net income rose 26.8%, while expenses grew 26.0%. Wealth Management, Investment Management and Wholesale all delivered higher pretax income, but the company issued no earnings forecast because of market uncertainty.

What happened

Nomura Holdings reported higher first-half profit and revenue than a year earlier, and all three of its main business areas made more pretax income. But the company gave no earnings forecast because it said the market is uncertain.

Global impact / market context

A bigger profit means the company kept more money after costs. But skipping the forecast means the company itself is not saying what it expects next, which can make it harder for ordinary investors to judge what may come.

What to watch

  1. Whether Nomura issues an earnings forecast in a later update, because the lack of one now is the main open question.
  2. Second-quarter profit, which fell compared with the first quarter, because a quarter-to-quarter drop shows the trend may be uneven.
  3. Expenses, which grew 26.0%, because costs rising faster than before can eat into future profit even when revenue grows.
