Outlook and guidance
The 2030 Management Vision targets ROE of 10%–12% or more; management plans to pursue growth opportunities while controlling costs and taking appropriate risk.
No earnings or dividend forecast was issued amid global capital-market uncertainty; the FY2027 fourth-quarter dividend remained unconfirmed.
October Wealth Management revenue was near Q2 levels; Wholesale started more slowly, with management expecting monetization to improve its cost ratio in H2.
Wholesale expense-ratio improvement is a medium- to long-term goal supported by structural cost measures, technology investment, AI, scale and operating leverage.
Investment Banking cited a robust DCM pipeline and corporate financing demand amid a shift from government to corporate bond issuance.
