The TOPIX Other Financing Business Index outperformed the TOPIX in May, while the +81 3 6703 1175

TOPIX Banks Index was roughly in line with the TOPIX and the TOPIX Insurance and

TOPIX Securities and Commodities Futures indices underperformed (Figure 1). That said,

there were only minor differences in performance between subsector indices. In the end,

increasing investor preference for AI and semiconductor-related stocks resulted in

relatively weak movements for the financial sector. We think share price performance in

May was more to do with company-specific earnings and events than sector preferences.

Insurance

Other financing business: Orix [8591] outperformed the sector index. This appears to

have been due to the announcement of 27/3 guidance and shareholder returns in excess

of our forecasts alongside 26/3 results, earnings recovery at Toshiba, in which Orix is a

major investor, and share price gains for Kioxia Holdings [285A], in which Orix has an

indirect stake via Toshiba. By contrast, Marui Group [8252] was a marked

underperformer.
