MUFG (8306) Earnings Surpass Estimates: A Detailed Look at Mitsubishi UFJ Financial’s 3Q Net Income

Mitsubishi UFJ Financial (MUFG) on Smartkarma

Smartkarma, an independent investment research network, has recently seen a lot of analyst coverage on Mitsubishi UFJ Financial (MUFG). According to Travis Lundy, the Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE) recently released a list of companies that have disclosed their efforts towards implementing management that is conscious of cost of capital and stock price. However, Lundy believes that the TSE’s list is inadequate and has created a better tool to track these efforts.

In another insight, Lundy discusses the recent earnings reports of MUFG and two other megabanks in Japan. While MUFG did not raise its full-year guidance, it saw a 71% progress in the first half of the year. The bank also announced a big buyback, along with Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group (SMFG). This is seen as a positive move, especially with the progress of unwinding cross-holdings and strengthening capital.

Daniel Tabbush also shares his insights on MUFG, highlighting its position as the largest bank in Japan with the lowest loan-to-deposit ratio at 48%. Tabbush believes that MUFG’s low ratio and high bond holdings could benefit from the potential relief of negative interest rates. He also notes that the bank’s recent return on equity (ROE) of 12% may be sustainable, with a decrease in loss loans and credit costs.
