3 Bargain Japanese Stocks to Consider
3 Bargain Japanese Stocks to Consider
live (public) 0.44% April 05
David Sterman writing for Street Authority turns his focus to Japan. Home to the world's second-largest economy, Japan has seen the Nikkei, tumbleduring the past 20 years. It's unlikely that the Nikkei will revisit the 37,000 mark it reached in 1990 any time soon. Yet, for the contrarian investor, this market hassome significant bargains. David highlights three.
- Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (NYSE: MTU), though was once valued at more than $200 billion, is now valued at just $57 billion. Meanwhile, this bank generated an eye-popping $49 billion in free cash flow in fiscal (March) 2011, according to Thomson Reuters.
- Toyota Motor (NYSE: TM) remains the world's largest automaker and, after shedding $100 billion in market value since 2007, the stock is now also a bargain.
- Canon (NYSE: CAJ), can boast its own impressive financial profile. Free cash flow topped $5 billion in 2010 on $48 billion in sales. Few hardware-focused companies can generate free cash flow margins that exceed 10%.
With the Eurozone worries and the aftermath of the tsunami and nuclear
power plant scare, developed international markets have not been a focus
of interest but Japan has some world leaders with international markets
that may be poised to do well.
