The Japanese yen has been depreciating at a rate never seen before. Amid weakening domestic currency, Japan’s healthcare stocks have mostly outperformed their regional peers, due to their export-led growth.
Cash rich and fundamentally strong healthcare companies in Japan, with large international revenue exposure should be the key focus areas now.
Two of our top picks are sitting on double-digit gains, while the other two are facing temporary setbacks. Long-term fundamental story remains intact for all of them.
