The $12 billion Japanese bank’s net profit plunged 76% year-on-year to 7.4 billion yen ($55 million) in the three months ending March. That undoes a decent recovery trend and pushes the fiscal year’s earnings down by a third. Return on equity fell to a parlous 3.1%, far below the 8%-10% target. Like peers, it is feeling the pain of the Silicon Valley Bank crisis and Credit Suisse’s collapse. And Nomura , as with Goldman Sachs , is ill-positioned to benefit from rising lending rates as much as commercial banks are; both investment-banking firms posted a 5% decline in net revenue in the most recent quarter.

Wholesale revenue, dragged down by a 20% decline in investment banking, contracted for the quarter but remained up 10% for the year. Retail and investment management contracted compared to the prior quarter; that could be more than just seasonal if the global economy stays rickety. Shareholders might remind themselves that this particular external shock is not boss Kentaro Okuda’s fault - but they’re hyper-sensitive given Nomura’s history.

Breakingviews - Philips’ convalescence has way longer to runRoy Jakobs has applied ointment to Philips’ wounds, but they’re still sore. The 17 billion euro Dutch medical-kit company’s shares rose 11% on Monday morning after it reported first-quarter numbers boosted by cost-cutting measures including layoffs. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes and amortisation of 359 million euros beat analysts’ average estimate of 226 million euros, per Visible Alpha data. The recall of faulty breathing devices and ventilators means Philips needs to set aside another 575 million euros for lawsuits on top of over 1 billion euros last year, but that’s less than Bernstein analysts’ expectation of 2.4 billion euros.
