Insights

Equity research analyst

Nomura delivered broad-based growth, boosted by the Macquarie acquisition and stronger core businesses.

Nomura grew net revenue to 2,167.7 billion yen, up 14.5%, with net income of 362.1 billion yen and return on equity of 10.1%. Wealth Management, Investment Management and Wholesale all expanded revenue, indicating healthy demand across franchises.

The $1.8 billion Macquarie Acquisition, equivalent to about 281.4 billion yen, materially increased Investment Management scale, lifting assets under management from 89.3 to 136.9 trillion yen. Higher non-interest expenses reflect integration, amortization of acquired intangibles and acquisition-related costs rather than purely organic cost creep.

Risk metrics show Value at risk rising to 5.8 billion yen, a 52.6% increase versus March 31, 2025, consistent with a larger, more active balance sheet. Segment data highlight Wholesale cost-to-income ratios improving through most of the year, though still relatively high. Future disclosures in company filings may further clarify post-acquisition profitability trends.

Basel III regulatory

"revised to be in line with Basel 2.5 and Basel III."

An international set of banking rules that tells banks how much high-quality capital and readily available cash they must hold and how to manage risk, like a safety checklist for lenders. Investors care because these rules influence how safely banks can absorb losses, how much they can lend, and therefore their profits, dividend capacity and the chance of government support in a crisis — think of it as requirements that trade some short-term profit potential for longer-term financial stability.

Assets under administration (AUA) is the total market value of clients’ investments and accounts that a financial firm oversees for recordkeeping, reporting, and transaction processing without necessarily deciding how the money is invested. Think of it like a warehouse that stores and tracks other people’s goods: bigger AUA shows a firm’s scale, steady fee potential and client trust, so changes can signal growing business or client withdrawals that matter to investors.

On December 1, 2025, Nomura completed the acquisition of all equity interests in Macquarie Management Holdings, Inc., Macquarie Investment Management Holdings (Luxembourg) S.à r.l., and Macquarie Investment Management Holdings (Austria) GmbH (collectively, “Acquired Companies”), pursuant to the share purchase agreement entered into on April 22, 2025 (the “Macquarie Acquisition”). Upon completion, Nomura acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of the Acquired Companies for a total cash consideration of approximately $1.8 billion (equivalent to approximately ¥281.4 billion, based on an exchange rate of 1 U.S. dollar = ¥156.35 as of December 1, 2025). As of May 7, 2026, the purchase price is subject to certain post-closing adjustments which are not expected to have a material impact on the provisional purchase price allocation. Nomura has determined that a substantial portion of the provisional purchase price allocation was made to intangible assets and goodwill. As a result, these companies have become consolidated subsidiaries of Nomura with effect from December 1, 2025, and their results of operations and KPIs are included in the Investment Management figures disclosed under this Results of operation subsection and the following KPIs subsection beginning on such date.

Net revenue increased from ¥192.5 billion for the year ended March 31, 2025 to ¥258.5 billion for the year ended March 31, 2026, primarily due to an increase in Business revenue including a result of the consolidation of the businesses acquired in the Macquarie Acquisition. Non-interest expenses were ¥170.2 billion for the year ended March 31, 2026, an increase over the same period in the previous year as a result of expenses attributable to the Acquired Companies, amortization of intangible assets related to the acquired business and one-time acquisition-related costs. As a result, income before income taxes was ¥88.3 billion.
