Many Things To Like About Mitsubishi UFJ Financial (Rating Upgrade)

  • I'm raising Mitsubishi UFJ's rating to Buy; the stock is deserving of a lower discount rate and higher ROE expectations with its latest actions. The prospects of MUFG's retail banking arm have improved with the establishment of a new digital brand and the act of making selected group companies 100%-owned subsidiaries. The company is becoming more investor-centric by accelerating non-core disposals and increasing shareholder returns.
