The latest announcement is out from GMO Internet ( (JP:9449) ).

GMO Internet Group has announced that its consolidated subsidiary GMO Financial Holdings will delay the planned surrender of the securities business license of its Thai unit, GMO-Z com Securities (Thailand), which operates a securities business in Thailand. The Thai subsidiary had previously decided to terminate margin trading in December 2024 and cease all operations by the end of 2025 after sustained losses linked to large allowances for doubtful accounts caused by significant declines in the stock prices of securities used as collateral. As of the end of September 2025, receivables of about JPY 7.5 billion remain under repayment agreements, covered by stock collateral valued at roughly JPY 11.3 billion, giving strong collateral coverage but still exposing the business to the risk of delayed payments or further price declines. To enable prompt and efficient disposal of collateral stocks if needed and maximize debt recovery, the company will keep the Thai subsidiary’s securities license in place and has pushed back the planned business discontinuation and license surrender to December 31, 2026, while maintaining its policy to ultimately dissolve and liquidate the unit; the impact on consolidated results for the year ending December 2025 is expected to be minimal.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:9449) stock is a Hold with a Yen4339.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on GMO Internet stock, see the JP:9449 Stock Forecast page.
