The Chiba Bank, Ltd. <8331> ranked second in "rising sell predictions" as of noon on the 23rd, according to "individual investor predictions (latest 48 hours)" compiled by Minkabu.

Chiba Bank fell for the sixth consecutive day on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Prime Market on the 23rd. On March 25th, Chiba Bank and The Chiba Kogyo Bank, Ltd. <8337> announced they had reached a final agreement on a business integration. They are expected to establish a holding company, "Chiba Financial Group," in April 2027. As industry consolidation progresses among regional banks, the move aims to strengthen their operations in Chiba Prefecture and the greater Tokyo metropolitan area. However, expectations have grown that the Bank of Japan will keep its policy rate unchanged at the monetary policy meeting scheduled for the 27th and 28th, resulting in weakness in banking stocks recently.
