Its roots as Japan’s first ISP are playing a crucial role in its expansion as Japanese organisations shift to more open cloud-based IT systems, from which IIJ is winning larger project. Coupled with its higher-margin cyber security offerings and smart digital currency strategy, IIJ is in a strong position to improve OPM over the next three fiscal years. Meanwhile, valuations remain attractive. Analyst Lindsay Whipp explains.

Vermilion Int'l Compass: Global Equity Strategy
Major Top for the U.S. Dollar (DXY) = Risk-On Our outlook remains bullish on global equities (MSCI ACWI). We have been bullish since early-November 2023, save for a two month period from late-July to late September 2024 when we were neutral. We discussed in last week's Int'l Compass (Feb. 13, 2025) how both ACWI-US and the S&P 500 were coiling just below all-time highs, likely setting up for major breakouts; the breakouts are here. We also believe the U.S. dollar (DXY) and Treasury yields have ...

PSA Strategy: Japan Stock Market Quarterly 2024 Q4
When the BoJ raised rates in March, it had been 17 years since it had last done so, though the world was very different then. While the July rate hike was unlikely to move the economic needle, the question now is what else might follow the subsequent financial market maelstrom. Pelham Smithers discusses the outlook for Japan’s macro environment, what new fiscal policies the new PM might introduce, how the BoJ might react and the all-important trend in corporate earnings. This then leads us to...
