Mito Securities Co., Ltd. (TSE: 8622) told the Tokyo Stock Exchange on July 21 that its preliminary results for the quarter running April through June show operating revenue of ¥5.69bn, up 71.3% from the ¥3.32bn booked in the same quarter a year earlier. The bottom-line swing is sharper: preliminary operating profit came in at ¥1.98bn, up 730.1% from ¥239mn a year ago, preliminary ordinary profit rose 398.7% to ¥2.23bn from ¥448mn, and preliminary net income climbed 347.5% to ¥1.51bn from ¥337mn.
| Metric | Preliminary (Apr-Jun 2026) | Actual (Apr-Jun 2025) | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Operating revenue | ¥5.69bn | ¥3.32bn | +71.3% |
| Operating profit | ¥1.98bn | ¥239mn | +730.1% |
| Ordinary profit | ¥2.23bn | ¥448mn | +398.7% |
| Net income | ¥1.51bn | ¥337mn | +347.5% |
The brokerage attributes the jump to "a substantial increase" in stock-related revenue and in what it calls recurring stock revenue, specifically investment-trust agency fees and fund-wrap compensation. Those are the fee lines brokerages earn for administering client trust holdings and managed wrap accounts rather than one-off trading commissions, so a jump there points to more client money sitting in fee-generating products rather than a single busy trading week.
Context from the full fiscal year to March 2026 shows how much smaller Mito Securities' base has been until now: annual operating revenue was ¥16.07bn, annual operating profit ¥3.15bn, annual ordinary profit ¥3.60bn and annual net income ¥3.10bn. A single preliminary quarter at ¥1.98bn in operating profit already equals more than three-fifths of what the entire prior fiscal year produced, though the disclosure gives no quarterly breakdown for that earlier year to show whether growth was already accelerating going into this period.
The company is explicit that these are estimates, not final numbers. Its notice says the preliminary figures rest on "certain assumptions the company currently judges reasonable," and that actual results may differ once the books close. Official first-quarter results are due on July 30. The filing carries no balance-sheet detail, no client asset figures and no segment split beyond the stated stock-related and recurring-fee drivers, so the scale of the swing is confirmed while its composition remains partly described rather than itemized. Investors get five business days between this notice and the full release to weigh whether the strength is broad-based fee growth or concentrated in a handful of large wrap or trust mandates.
