TOKYO, April 27 (Reuters) - Nomura Holdings Inc shares dropped more than 7% early on Thursday after it posted a
sharp fall in its quarterly net profit as worries about a global
banking crisis roiled markets and hit its investment banking
business.
Nomura, Japan's biggest brokerage and investment bank, saw
its shares slump 7.6% by early morning after being untraded with
a glut of sell orders earlier in the day.
On Wednesday, the company reported a 76% fall in its
quarterly net profit, joining Wall Street investment banks in
reporting a slump in dealmaking fees as global mergers and
acquisitions activity shrank to the lowest level in more than a
decade in the last quarter. (Reporting by Mariko Katsumura; Editing by Jacqueline Wong)
