Nomura Holdings’ net income attributable to shareholders rose 13% year over year to ¥103.7 billion in its fiscal second quarter, covering July through September 2026. Wealth Management led the annual growth, while consolidated net revenue and income before income taxes also increased from a year earlier. All three consolidated measures fell from the previous quarter.

Net revenue was ¥607.5 billion, up 18% year over year. Income before income taxes reached ¥148.0 billion, an 8% increase. The quarter was the second of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027.
