Chiba Bank (8331) Earnings: 1Q Net Income Surges 8.8%, Exceeds Estimates at 20.03 Billion Yen

Chiba Bank on Smartkarma

Analyst coverage on Chiba Bank by Daniel Tabbush on Smartkarma reveals a bearish sentiment as highlighted in the report titled “Chiba Bank – Short Term Borrowing Surges, Just at the Wrong Time.” Tabbush points out that Chiba Bank has significantly increased its short term borrowings as Japanese Yen rates are on the rise, without securing long term borrowings. In the past four quarters, short term borrowing surged by 2.3 times, while long term borrowings decreased, resulting in missed opportunities to lock in lower rates. This strategy has led to Chiba Bank not fully benefiting from Bank of Japan policy changes, with a decline in the Net Interest Margin (NIM).
