Mizuho says buy Lam Research dip after 11.8% drop, trims target to $360

Mizuho reiterated its Outperform rating on Lam Research and urged investors to buy the stock after a pullback that followed quarterly results. It trimmed its price target to $360 from $365. Lam reported September-quarter revenue of $8.22 billion and earnings per share of $2.20, in line with consensus. It guided December-quarter revenue to $8.6 billion, slightly above consensus. Shares fell about 11.8% on Thursday. Analyst Vijay Rakesh pointed to new greenfield fabs and growth in NAND and high-bandwidth memory as upside drivers. Lam expects wafer fab equipment spending to grow more than 29% in 2027 to over $200 billion. Mizuho estimates Lam's revenue will grow 37% next year, ahead of the 30% consensus.

Carro secures $337.5M car loan-backed financing facility in Singapore's first such deal

Singapore-based online car marketplace Carro has set up a S$450 million financing facility backed by car loans. It said this is the first asset-backed securitisation of its kind in the country. The facility uses loans owed to its wholly owned subsidiary, Genie Financial Services, as backing. Carro said it will diversify its long-term funding and support regional expansion. Mizuho arranged the deal, while HSBC and JPMorgan Chase also took part. The three banks acted as loan providers and bond subscribers. Carro said Singapore's Certificate of Entitlement system gives the vehicles securing the loans an underlying value, which helps reduce risk for lenders. Founded in 2015, Carro operates in eight Asia-Pacific markets. It transacted more than 120,000 new and used vehicles in FY2026.

Daiwa, Mizuho clear final hurdles to launch China securities units, Bloomberg says.

Daiwa, Mizuho clear final hurdles to launch China securities units, Bloomberg says. Short Url: 20 Oct 2026 17:36:53 GMT9 HONG KONG: Japanese banks Mizuho Financial Group and Daiwa Securities are poised to launch fully independent securities operations in China after clearing crucial regulatory hurdles, according to a Bloomberg report. The move highlights expansion efforts by Japanese financial companies in China, setting them apart from several Western competitors grappling with prolonged waits for such permits. Both institutions were recently notified that they had successfully passed final reviews for such operations on the mainland, the report said, citing a source familiar with the matter. Mizuho and Daiwa did not immediately respond to requests for comment. China's financial regulators did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment. The move caps long-running efforts by both institutions to build up their onshore presence. In September last year Mizuho won the securities licence in China needed to secure a green light from regulators for operations in the domestic market. It officially applied to set up its unit in November 2023. Daiwa, which has been consolidating operational control, agreed this year to buy out local joint venture partners in a $100 million deal to pave the way for a wholly owned structure. While Japanese institutions secure their green lights, major US banking peers are navigating uncertainty while waiting for Beijing's final go-ahead. Citigroup has been waiting for clearance since it applied late in 2021 for a wholly-owned mainland brokerage license, while market maker Citadel Securities, with an application pending since early 2025, also awaits the nod.
