“ESG Investment,” which had been gaining popularity from investors, has reached a turning point. Bloomberg reported on the 26th that hedge funds have begun targeting short sales of ESG stocks, and it has also been reported that the number of funds claiming ESG is rapidly decreasing. A major reason why ESG investment is being shunned is that it is difficult to see the actual state and effects of ESG activities, and the fact that it is difficult to eliminate “pretentious ESG” has also led to distrust from investors. Meanwhile, Eisai, Kirin HD, etc. are utilizing it to appeal to investors and execute management strategies by converting the effects of ESG activities into specific amounts.

Good morning to all moomoo users!Here's an overview of this morning's turnaround. Thank you in advance.
Market Overview
Today's Nikkei Stock Average started at 39391.98 yen, 399.90 yen higher than the previous business day, and the Tokyo Stock Price Index (TOPIX) started at 2722.61, 19.99 points higher.
Top news
Real wages fell 1.3% in February, negative for 23 consecutive months - high nominal growth for the first time in 8 months
Real wages in February, reflecting price fluctuations, fell below the previous year for 23 consecutive months. Although nominal wages grew at a high rate for the first time in 8 months, the negative range widened from the previous month. The main reason was that the effects of the government's measures against high prices went round and the inflation rate was boosted again.
Current account surplus boosted by 2.6 trillion yen car exports and visitors to Japan in February
According to the February balance of payments statistics (preliminary report) announced by the Ministry of Finance on the 8th, the current account balance showing the status of transactions of goods, services, etc. with overseas was a surplus of 2,644.2 billion yen. Automobile exports grew and the trade deficit narrowed, and an increase in visitors to Japan boosted the travel balance surplus.

Due to the liquor tax reform to be implemented in October,While the tax rate for beer and sake will drop, new genres (third beer) and fruit wine will rise. The share dispute for beer-based beverages seems to favor companies with a high beer sales ratio,There is also a view that some of the drinkers of the new genre will go to canned chuhai, where the tax rate remains unchanged this time。
What is the share of beer-based beverages in 2022 $Asahi Group Holdings (2502.JP)$is 36.5%, $Kirin Holdings (2503.JP)$It is 35.7%, and it is said that Asahi returned to the top for the first time in 3 years (Nihon Keizai Shimbun dated 2023/1/13). The liquor tax reform seems to have a big impact on the share dispute in the brewing industry, which includes both companies with similar abilities.
Beer benefits due to alcohol tax reform, and new genres have virtually disappeared

Japanese stocks rose on November 14th. Semiconductor-related stocks continued to be bought. Recently, I have written many times in this column, based on the sharp increase in TSMC's October revenue, there is a strong awareness of "bottoming out of the semiconductor market -> expansion of the semiconductor market after next year". Lasertec, Tokyo Electron, Advantest, Disco, and other top traded stocks are rising.
The degree of confidence in the expected revenue expansion after next year will determine the upper limit of the stock price. By mid-November, in just a month and a half, December's full-year earnings companies will enter the new fiscal year. Companies for December full-year earnings in the fiscal year 2024, with expanding revenue, are attracting attention as investment targets.
Horiba Ltd. (6856) soared significantly, updating its July high for the first time in 4 months. The company is a December earnings company. It has strengths in performance analysis and measurement equipment for semiconductor manufacturing equipment. They announced an upward revision of operating profit and increased dividends when they released their September financial statements on the 13th, leading to a significant increase.
