TOKYO, Oct 2 Asia Pulse - All six of Japan's Internet brokerage firms are expected to report record interim profits for the period ended Tuesday, projecting their interim profits will exceed those for all of fiscal 2002.
The impressive performance reflects online traders' stepped-up activity, which has played a key role in reinvigorating the stock market.
DLJdirect SFG Securities Inc. is expected to report interim operating revenue of 4 billion yen (US$36 million), up 31 per cent from a year earlier, and its pretax profit is forecast to top 1 billion yen for the first time ever on an interim basis.
Nikko Beans Inc. and Kabu.com Securities Co. both are expected to report that operating revenue nearly doubled to around 2.8 billion yen. They are also expected to show a pretax profit of more than 1 billion yen.
Monex Inc. (TSE:8626) is expected to swing to the black for the first time, and E*Trade Japan KK (TSE:8627) is expected to report a pretax profit of more than 1 billion yen.
But even in this favorable environment, the gap between the firms widened, with Matsui Securities Co. (TSE:8628) towering above the rest. Matsui Securities is expected to report operating revenue of 9.7 billion yen, up about 40 per cent on the year, and a pretax profit of more than 4.5 billion yen, nearly triple the year-earlier figure.
