Japan's orphan equities

Japanese stocks, unlocked.

62% of Japan's small-caps have no sell-side coverage. The filings are Japanese-only, so foreign capital never reads them — Kabu does, and shows you the source behind every name.

The orphan cohort.

Small, profitable, often trading below the value of their own balance sheet — and overlooked, because the people who could read the filings aren't looking, and the people looking can't read them. Unreadable was never uninvestable. That gap is the opportunity. Read the orphan cohort thesis →
