Aizawa Securities reports interim operating loss as expenses rise

Aizawa Securities Group announced preliminary consolidated financial results for the six months ended September 30, 2025, with operating revenue rising 4.2% year-on-year to JPY 9,937 million. This increase was driven by higher equity brokerage fees and asset management fees for mutual funds.

However, the company reported an operating loss of JPY (226) million, a significant decline from the JPY 306 million operating profit recorded in the same period last year. This downturn was attributed to increased selling, general, and administrative expenses, including trading-related expenses.

Consequently, ordinary profit fell to JPY 108 million, and profit attributable to owners of the parent decreased by 34.4% to JPY 1,000 million compared to JPY 1,526 million in the prior year's interim period. The company has stated it does not disclose performance forecasts due to the financial securities business's susceptibility to economic and market fluctuations.
