ORIX Corporation is rated a "Buy" following a strong Q2 beat, raised guidance, and a positive ROE outlook. The company posted a 70% YoY net profit increase, driven by asset sales and strategic portfolio optimization, exceeding consensus expectations. Management raised its FY26 earnings guide to ¥440 billion; it also targets ROE improvement to 11% by FY28, supported by new private equity initiatives and increased buybacks.
ORIX Corporation ( IX ) Q2 2026 Earnings Call November 12, 2025 2:30 AM EST Company Participants Sachiko Nakane Hidetake Takahashi - President, Group COO, Representative Executive Officer & Director Kazuki Yamamoto - Head of Corporate Planning & Investor Relations Conference Call Participants Masao Muraki - SMBC Nikko Securities Inc., Research Division Koki Sato - JPMorgan Chase & Co, Research Division Kazuki Watanabe - Daiwa Securities Co. Ltd., Research Division Naruhiko Sakamaki - Mizuho Securities Co., Ltd.
My rating for ORIX is lifted to buy after analyzing its 1QFY26 earnings beat and considering potential re-rating triggers. The first quarter bottom line was 15% above the consensus estimate thanks to the outperformance of the Energy and Real Estate segments; I think this sets the stage for an eventual full-year guidance raise. ORIX has made greater-than-expected progress with its current repurchase program, and it is likely that a fresh buyback plan will be contemplated before this fiscal year ends.

I'll be the master of ceremony.
My rating for ORIX Corporation is lowered from Buy to Hold, considering its short-term prospects and mid-term targets. ORIX's FY25 earnings and FY26 bottom-line guidance missed their respective consensus forecasts by -7% and -9%, respectively. But there's potential for a positive valuation re-rating in time to come, if the company's ROE improves from 8.8% last year to the targeted 11% in three years' time.

Orix's first-mover strategy as the only casino in Japan will let it enjoy a monopoly. The stock at ~$100 does not yet reflect accretion of value to the asset base. Orix is a sound buy now and will get even better as the casino development moves ahead, despite a long view ahead of opening.
