Equity Bottom-Up

Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group / Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
 <li>
Favorable Rate Environment Driving Profitability: SMFG is well-positioned to benefit from the normalization of Japan's monetary policy. The end of negative interest rates is expected to significantly boost Net Interest Margins (NIMs), a key driver of earnings growth, with analysts forecasting substantial increases in Net Interest Income (NII).</li>
 <li>
Strategic Global Expansion and Alliances: The company is actively pursuing a 'Multi-Franchise Strategy,' particularly in Asia, and deepening its strategic alliance with Jefferies Financial Group to enhance its global investment banking and advisory capabilities. This reduces its high dependency on the mature Japanese domestic market and taps into higher-growth international opportunities.</li>
 <li>
Solid Financial Performance and Shareholder Returns: SMFG has demonstrated a strong growth track record with robust increases in revenue and net income. This financial strength supports a consistent and growing dividend payout to shareholders, complemented by share buyback programs.</li>
