Yahoo Finance 3 High Insider Ownership Growth Companies On The Japanese Exchange With Earnings Growth Up To 83%
Japan's stock markets have recently shown positive momentum, with the Nikkei 225 Index and the broader TOPIX Index both recording gains. This upward trend is supported by a historically weak yen, which benefits the country’s export-driven industries.
