  • Corporate Governance Reforms Drive Japanese Stocks to New Highs in 2026
    January 29, 2026, 12:30 AM EST. Japan's stock market hit record highs in 2026, with the Nikkei 225 up 84.3% and TOPIX up 93.3% in five years, outperforming the S&P 500. This surge stems largely from significant corporate governance reforms targeting Japan's traditional keiretsu system-a network of cross shareholdings that discouraged competition and shareholder returns. Regulatory bodies like the Financial Supervision Agency and Tokyo Stock Exchange have pushed companies to reduce cross shareholdings, improve capital efficiency, and prioritize investor-friendly actions like share buybacks and divestitures. These changes foster increased competition and focus, making Japanese equities more attractive to investors looking for growth beyond product launches or charismatic leadership.
