Japan Post Bank (7182) Earnings: 1Q Net Income Surges 11%, Exceeding Estimates

Japan Post Bank on Smartkarma

Analyst coverage of Japan Post Bank on Smartkarma by Daniel Tabbush sheds light on the bank’s performance. In his report titled “Japan Post Bank – It’s like a Closed End Mutual Fund More Than Ever”, Tabbush points out that Japan Post Bank operates like a closed-end mutual fund, with minimal profit drivers aside from stock sales. Despite a surge in net profit due to non-recurring gains from stock sales, the bank’s Return on Assets (ROA) remains about half the Japan bank average. Tabbush highlights that while the company’s unrealized gains on foreign bonds have increased, its ROA still lags. He suggests that the company’s cost of funds and hedging costs are key issues impacting its profitability.
