Mizuho Financial Group Hits Day Low of JPY 4,587 Amid Price Pressure

Mizuho Financial Group, Inc. experienced a notable decline today, with its stock price dropping by 4.87% as of October 14, 2025. The stock reached an intraday low of JPY 4,587.00, reflecting a challenging day in the market. Over the past week, Mizuho has seen a decrease of 3.48%, contrasting sharply with the Japan Nikkei 225, which gained 5.07% during the same period.
In terms of longer-term performance, Mizuho's stock has generated a substantial return of 53.51% over the past year, significantly outperforming the Nikkei 225's 22.11% return. However, the bank's recent financial metrics indicate some areas of concern, including a low Capital Adequacy Ratio of 14.76%, which suggests limited buffers against risk-based assets. Additionally, the bank's Return on Assets stands at a modest 0.19%, indicating lower profitability per unit of total assets.

Despite these challenges, Mizuho Financial Group maintains a market capitalization of JPY 12,214,349 million and continues to show resilience in a competitive banking industry.
