BlackRock CEO Fink says Japan stocks have ‘more upside’ amid weak yen

Larry Fink is CEo of BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager. The Nikkei is running a piece on his comments re Japanese equities.

In brief:

• Japan’s economy seems to have “turned a corner”
• its stock market remains inexpensive versus most of its peers
• “on a dollar basis, Japanese stocks are very cheap”

• “If you look at the quality of some of the Japanese companies and their earnings, they have more upside,”

• “We are overweight in Japan, and our investors like the overweight”

BalckRock is already long, so there may be some book talking going on here.
