JPX Records Solid First Three Quarters of 2019 Fiscal Year

The (JPX) revealed its consolidated financial results for the nine months ended December 31, 2018, this Tuesday. The Group, which operates multiple securities exchanges including the Tokyo Stock Exchange and the Osaka Securities Exchange, reported increases across all of its key metrics.

Starting first with operating revenue, JPX achieved a figure of ¥92.0 billion ($842.1 million) for the nine months ended December 31, 2018.

For the nine months ended December 31, 2018, net income for JPX came in at ¥38.8 billion. This represents an increase of 3.8 per cent year-on-year.
