Mitsubishi UFJ Financial: Positive On Earnings Beat And ROE Expansion

I retain a 'Buy' rating for Mitsubishi UFJ, following my evaluation of its above-expectations earnings and ROE improvement guidance. The bank's EPS grew 33.2% to ¥213 in FY25, which exceeded the consensus forecast by 8.9%. MUFG's ROE is guided to rise from FY2025's 11.3% to FY2026's 12.0% in FY26, supported by rate hike tailwinds, portfolio optimization, and capital returns.
