Two major online securities companies reported increases in revenue and profits from April to December last year. This is due to an increase in the number of people opening NISA accounts before last month's expansion of NISA.
SBI Securities' net operating revenue, which corresponds to sales, increased by 16.9% from the same period last year to 1,368. In addition to reaching a record high of 100 million yen, final profit also increased by 21% to 36.2 billion yen.
