I'm sticking with a 'Buy' rating for Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group following my assessment of its valuations and prospects. SMFG revealed its updated mid-teens ROE goal for the long run; I think this is achievable with cost-cutting moves and domestic rate hikes. The stock's current P/B of around 1.3x is undemanding, considering the significant discount to its U.S. peers.
