TOKYO (Reuters) – Nomura Holdings Inc, Japan’s biggest brokerage and investment bank, on Friday reported a doubling of quarterly net profit, driven by active financing deals and a strong stock market at home.
July-September profit came in at 35.2 billion yen ($234.51 million) versus 16.8 billion yen a year earlier, when a sharp downturn in global financial markets battered its asset management and investment banking businesses.
