As of 1:00 p.m. on May 22, Rakuten Bank, Ltd. <5838> ranked fourth in "rising sell predictions" according to the "Retail Investor Predictions (Last 48 Hours)" compiled by Minkabu.

Rakuten Bank shares plummeted for a third consecutive session in Tokyo trading. After the close of trading on May 20, the bank and Rakuten Group, Inc. <4755> announced a fintech business restructuring, under which Rakuten Card and Rakuten Securities Holdings will become wholly owned subsidiaries of the bank via a share delivery scheme.

However, the announcement sparked heavy dilution concerns. The bank disclosed that its total authorized shares will more than double from 630 million to 1.5 billion (comprising 1.2 billion common shares and 300 million Class A preferred shares). Furthermore, estimated earnings per share (EPS) for the fiscal year ending March 2026 is projected to drop to approximately 296 yen from 418.76 yen prior to the restructuring, driving the surge in sell predictions.
