SUMMARY
  • Since the BoJ interest rate hike in July, the Yen appreciated ~5% to ¥142.74. Considerable amount of appreciation may be dilutive on the overall performance of export-oriented industry.
  • Top healthcare players have assumed a higher exchange rate (than the current prevailing rate) for their respective full-year FY25 guidance.
