Nomura seeks to post at least ¥750 billion ($4.7 billion) in annual pretax income by the year ending March 2031.
The target represents a significant increase from previous goals and comes after strong recent performance at the firm.
Japanese listed firms posted record net profits for the year ended March 2025. The figure marked a fifth straight year of highs, driven by strong results from semiconductor and data center companies.
