Rakuten
Securities customers generated over 3 million AI-powered investment reports
within 24 hours of accessing new artificial intelligence analysis tools. It may
signal a strong demand for automated stock insights among Japanese retail
investors.

The surge
in engagement followed the mid-July launch of BridgeWise’s StockWise platform,
which provides AI-generated analysis for more than 7,100 stocks directly
through Rakuten Securities’ existing trading platforms. The brokerage, which
serves over 12 million customers, integrated the tools across its web
interface, MARKETSPEED II desktop application, and iSPEED smartphone app.

BridgeWise,
the AI investment intelligence provider behind the technology, processes
company filings and earnings reports to generate four types of stock-level
insights. These include fundamental ratings with 3-6 month performance
outlooks, proprietary target prices, industry comparisons, and post-earnings
reaction metrics.

The 3
million report views in the first day exceeded expectations and demonstrated
what BridgeWise characterized as “untapped potential” within existing
brokerage user bases when advanced tools are made easily accessible.

“It’s a
clear signal that when everyday investors are given the right tools in the
right context, they respond,” BridgeWise commented in a statement emailed to FinanceMagnates.com.

BridgeWise
and Rakuten are certainly not alone in promoting AI-driven stock analysis. In
March, TipRanks
launched its own analytics tool leveraging machine learning and the
capabilities of current artificial intelligence technologies. Earlier this
month, Interactive Brokers also
added an AI-based tool to its platform, offering coverage of the entire
S&P 1500 index.

Rakuten Becomes the First
Domestic Broker in Japan to Offer Such Services

The
partnership represents Rakuten
Securities’ latest push to differentiate itself in Japan’s competitive
online brokerage market through technology adoption. The firm became the first
major domestic securities company to offer this level of AI-generated stock
intelligence for both Japanese and U.S. equities .

Earlier in
May, the
company invested in 24X, a platform aiming to become the first
round-the-clock stock exchange in the U.S., hoping to outpace the tech-heavy
Nasdaq in this initiative.

“We
see Rakuten Securities not only as a valued partner, but as a true pioneer in
leveraging AI to deliver an innovative, empowered, and engaging investor
experience,” said Dor Eligula, co-founder and chief business officer of BridgeWise.

The
collaboration builds on a partnership between the companies that began in
November 2024. BridgeWise’s platform analyzes over 37,000 global stocks,
transforming financial disclosures into what the company describes as
expert-level insights updated in near real-time as new information becomes
available.

BridgeWise
indicated plans to expand coverage and introduce additional AI solutions,
including fund analysis capabilities, as the partnership develops. Recently, it
also partnered
with Devexperts’ Devexa trading assistant, integrating its Bridget AI tool
into the platform.
