About: Mizuho Financial Group is roughly tied with megabank peer Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group for the status as Japan's second-largest bank after Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group. In Japan, Mizuho has more of a corporate focus than SMFG, which has a larger retail business. Its overseas weighting is slightly smaller than that of MUFG. Unlike its two Japanese megabank peers, which own foreign banks outright or hold noncontrolling stakes in local banks overseas, Mizuho expanded in recent years beyond its traditional Japanese borrowers, mainly through its core banking and securities units, focusing on the financing needs of global multinational corporations.

Mizuho Financial: Spotlight On Capital Preservation And Rate Hike Potential
Mizuho Financial Group remains a Buy, based on my assessment of its rate sensitivity and capital return outlook. MFG stands to benefit most among Japanese megabanks from a likely Bank of Japan rate hike. Mizuho has prudently invested in Rakuten Bank via a share swap rather than a direct cash infusion. This means that it retains financial capacity for future buybacks and dividends.
