Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group Inc 8316
Bulls Say, Bears Say
Bulls
SMFG historically achieved a higher return on equity than its megabank competitors MUFG and Mizuho and may be able to restore its advantage given its comfortable capital position.
Bears
SMFG's larger exposure to retail and small-business borrowers in Japan rather than large corporate borrowers pose risks for higher credit costs than peers as interest rates rise.

Company Profile
Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group is roughly tied with Mizuho Financial Group for the status of Japan’s second-largest bank after Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group. It has a larger consumer finance business than the other two megabanks, owning 100% of the Promise business and SMBC Card. In securities, its SMBC Nikko unit is Japan’s third-largest retail broker, although SMFG has lagged somewhat in institutional securities business and asset management.
