Juroku Financial GroupInc (TSE:7380)
Simply Wall St Value Rating: ★★★★★☆
Overview: Juroku Financial Group, Inc. offers banking and leasing products and services in Japan, with a market cap of ¥158.27 billion.
Operations: The financial group generates revenue primarily from its banking and leasing segments. It operates with a market cap of ¥158.27 billion, focusing on providing financial services within Japan.
Juroku Financial Group Inc., with total assets of ¥7,568.9 billion and equity of ¥429.5 billion, presents a mixed bag for investors. Its total deposits stand at ¥6,414.6 billion against loans of ¥4,863.9 billion, reflecting a net interest margin of 0.8%.
