Archegos Mess Hurts Nomura’s Key Goal

Nomura has long aimed to be a major player on Wall Street, but the collapse of Archegos has made this goal more challenging. The incident resulted in significant losses for Nomura and other Japanese firms like Mitsubishi UFJ and Mizuho. Despite these setbacks, Japanese firms continue to pursue opportunities on Wall Street, though they face risks when stepping outside their comfort zones. Analysts suggest that Nomura is repeating past mistakes by taking on excessive risk in a single market.
