Securities House Picture
On a TTM basis through 2026Q1, pre-tax profit is currently about 1,444.1bn, equivalent to a pre-tax margin of 36.2%, showing a relatively clean and sufficiently thick earnings base, with margin also improving by +2.8pp, pointing to better earnings quality. The revenue mix is now leaning more toward lending at 45.8% after expanding by +6.3pp, while trading is down to 20.8% after narrowing by 14.6pp; brokerage and services have reached 33.4% and improved by +8.4pp, making diversification more visible. On the balance sheet, Equity / Assets is 27.3% while Leverage is about 2.66x, indicating that buffers and funding are not yet truly roomy, but buffers have thinned while leverage has risen further.

Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
Is revenue sustainable?
Revenue Mix & Earnings Engine
Where are current earnings coming from?
Current earnings lean more heavily on margin lending, so the quality of the revenue engine should be read together with margin-book dependence.
Margin income currently accounts for about 45.8%, trading is at 20.8%, brokerage and services together remain around 33.4% of the engine mix.
When lending is the main engine, headline quality depends more heavily on margin-book safety and funding cost.
Revaluation is currently only a small component and not a headline driver.
The mix is still fairly readable for now, but case durability will depend on whether brokerage and services keep thickening.

Profitability Quality & Volatility
How strong is current profitability, and how durable is it?
Profitability currently looks relatively clean, with margins and returns strong enough not to rely heavily on unusual support.
Pre-tax margin is currently 36.2%, Return on assets is about 4.3%, provisions equal -7.3% of pre-tax profit, revaluation accounts for -1.7% of pre-tax profit.
Headline profit is still fairly readable because returns are not being materially distorted by less durable support.
Profit appears cleaner and less dependent on revaluation.
Provisioning is not currently the main drag on profit.

Are assets at risk?
Balance Sheet Quality & Asset Composition
Where is the balance sheet exposed, and how resilient does it look?
The balance sheet is leaning more toward the margin book, so growth quality depends meaningfully on the safety of loans and receivables.
The margin book is about 50.6% of assets, the prop book about 10.2%, liquid assets around 24.3%, equity roughly 27.3%.
A high margin-book share makes the balance sheet more sensitive to asset quality and funding cost.
The margin book is larger than the prop book.
Capital buffer is not the main weakness for now, so the key reading point shifts to which assets are driving the balance sheet.
Key risks
Loans and receivables are large enough to make the balance sheet more sensitive to asset quality and funding cost.

Is leverage safe?
Capital, Funding & Risk Posture
Are capital buffers and funding posture sufficiently safe?
Short-term funding is the tighter part of the balance sheet, even if the case is not yet in outright capital stress.
Equity currently equals 27.3% of assets, liabilities stand at 2.66x of equity, short-term borrowings are about 55.4% of assets, cash covers roughly 0.11x of short-term borrowings.
The point that needs the closest reading now is short-term funding structure rather than the earnings headline.
Risk is coming more from short-term funding, so the key reading point is not just borrowing size but cash and liquid-asset cover.
Liquidity buffer remains relatively better than short-term funding needs.
Key risks
Short-term borrowings or cash coverage are in a range that creates more pressure on funding and liquidity posture.

Investment Takeaway
Overall, MBS is showing a more balanced earnings mix thanks to brokerage and service income, but short-term funding remains tight enough for caution.
Brokerage and service income are now large enough to reduce pure dependence on trading or margin.
When earnings lean heavily on margin lending, margin-book asset quality and funding need closer monitoring.
Short-term funding structure is tight enough to become the most visible risk in the current capital posture.
