Lim Rui Wen has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group’s strong financial performance and strategic initiatives. The company’s net profit significantly surpassed expectations, and its effective control over loan loss provisions underscores its financial stability. Additionally, management’s decision to raise its guidance for the fiscal year, along with plans for further share repurchases, indicates a strong confidence in the company’s future growth prospects.
Another contributing factor is MUFG’s extensive global presence, with a significant portion of its loan book originating from overseas, allowing it to capitalize on improving loan spreads both domestically and internationally. The normalization of monetary policy by the Bank of Japan is expected to enhance growth and profitability for MUFG, with an improvement in domestic lending activities and spreads. Furthermore, the management’s emphasis on boosting return on equity (ROE) and the implementation of a new medium-term business plan are expected to support share price growth. These strategic growth areas, coupled with the company’s robust ROE compared to its peers, reinforce the strong Buy recommendation.
