Japanese Stocks Stage Comeback

The Nikkei’s surge towards a record high symbolizes Japanese stocks’ resurgence in global portfolios, marking a significant turnaround after decades of stagnation.

With the Nikkei up 50% in just over a year, global investors who once shied away from Japanese stocks are now racing to participate in the rally, regretting missed opportunities.

For more than 34 years, Japanese investors endured disappointment and reluctance, but recent momentum, favorable valuations, and corporate decisions are reshaping perceptions.

The newfound enthusiasm surrounding Japanese stocks signifies a renewed confidence in the market’s potential and underscores a shift in perception among global investors.
