Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 9 days.
The thesis — published July 15, 2025
The share price has pulled back to an area where it often bounces 6-8%. The bank looks cheap at only 0.8 times the value of its assets and keeps over 12% core capital, showing strength. Higher US rates let it charge more on dollar loans, while low Japanese rates keep its own borrowing costs low. A new partnership with Sakana AI should cut expenses and has investors feeling upbeat. A move toward $14.60 over the next few months seems reasonable.
Primary drivers
- Price sits where past moves often led to 6-8% rebounds within about five weeks.
- Shares cost 0.8x book value and hold 12% capital, marking them as sturdy and cheap.
- Dollar loans now pay more while Japan keeps funding cheap, boosting profit margin.
- Sakana AI deal aims to cut costs, lifting sentiment and expected return on equity.
