Where NMR is headed
Nomura in 2028 looks nothing like the perpetually apologising franchise of the 2010s. The BoJ policy rate sits at 1.25%, the yen has settled in a range that no longer requires MoF panic calls, and Japanese households, sitting on roughly 2,100 trillion yen in financial assets with more than half still in cash and deposits, are finally moving. That migration into equities, funds, and structured products is the biggest domestic wealth reallocation in G7 history, and Nomura's Wealth Management arm is the incumbent distribution channel for it. Revenue growth of 27.5% in the trailing twelve months is not a cyclical print, it is the opening chapter.
