Some observations about the Japanese market by the First Eagle team ๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ’น๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿฝ

โœ…"With surging corporate profits helping to rekindle animal spirits, the Nikkei 225 Index in February 2024 reclaimed its previous 1989 peak and subsequently set a series of new record highs before the early-August selloff."

โœ…"Notably, however, the benchmarkโ€™s 34.4% gain in local-currency terms over the past 32 months translates into a mere 3.8% when denominated in dollars; the S&P 500 Index is up 20.9% over the same period."

โœ…"Improved corporate governance standards may provide long-term structural underpinnings to Japanese equities."

โœ…"Given that more than 50% of Japanese companies have cash balances that exceed debt, which often coincides with sub-standard returns and low valuations, ample runway may be available for additional dividend increases and share buybacks."

โœ…"As investors have continued to favor passive investment strategies, very large cap constituents of Japanese indexes have done especially well amid recent market strength.T his may suggest latent opportunity in a more eclectic group of companies whose qualities have yet to be fully recognized by the markets."

A Brazilian holding company idea (First Eagle) ๐Ÿ‘‰๐ŸผItaรบsa $ITSA4.BR

โœ…"Its primary asset here is Itaรบ, the largest Brazilian bank, which makes up roughly 80% of the total holding-company value."

โœ…"Other investments include Alpargatas (shoes and apparel), CCR (Brazilian airport and highway concessions), and Nova Transportadora do Sudeste, which transports roughly 50% of the natural gas consumed in Brazil."

โœ…"The holding company trades at an 18% discount to estimated net asset value, while Itaรบ shares on their own trade at what he considers an overly discounted 8x estimated forward earnings."

โœ…"Roughly two-thirds of the stock floats freely and the other one-third is owned by the Egydio de Souza Aranha family."
