Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 27 days.
The thesis — published July 16, 2025
Shares traded in the US dropped 11% after Japan's bond rates jumped, so the stock now looks oversold. Yet investors pay only about 70 cents for each dollar of the bank's net assets and collect a 3.6% yearly dividend. A fresh AI partnership announced on 7/15 should strengthen its digital banking story, and slow, steady rate increases in Japan could quickly boost lending profit. If bond markets calm, a return to $15 within the next three months seems reasonable.
Primary drivers
- Shares at 70c per asset dollar plus 3.6% dividend give buyers a safety net.
- Several price signals suggest selling pressure is fading and a bounce is near.
- A 7/15 AI deal could upgrade the consumer app and draw fresh investor interest.
- Gradual rate hikes in Japan widen the gap between what it earns on loans and pays on deposits.
