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.

Japan's three megabanks are likely to continue setting new earnings records as the central bank's monetary policy normalization boosts their margins. Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group and Mizuho Financial Group are each expected to report record net income for the fiscal year that ended March 31, 2026.
