This AM has a Nikkei headline saying Japan's 3 megabanks will report ¥2.0trln in Net Profit in H1. That compares to ¥894bn last year, and ¥3.3trln guided this year. We don't yet know whether cross-holding sales proceeds are ahead of or behind plan. They report Thursday. Either way, that is ~¥350-400bn ahead of guidance, suggesting there may be more buybacks to be announced imminently.
