Strengthening Profitability Margins

According to the company’s filing, earnings per share (EPS) rose to ¥58.84, providing a stronger yield for investors compared to the ¥46.98 posted in the previous nine-month window.

• Operating profit grew by approximately 25% year-on-year.
• Diluted earnings per share reached ¥58.71.
• Pretax margins saw a substantial boost, climbing over 28%.

The results come as Japanese securities firms navigate a shifting economic landscape characterized by fluctuating interest rates and renewed retail investor interest. Okasan’s ability to capture these market movements has solidified its position within the competitive Tokyo brokerage sector. The company's performance reflects the broader resilience of the Japanese financial services industry through the end of December 31, 2024.
