They've been buying back shares and raising their dividend agressively. Earnings and revenues are up. Price target: Yen 5957.14 (Analysts’ price target is $5957.14)

(A Top Pick Jun 26/19, Up 4%) This is the music business, not the motorbikes. It has held up very well. He expects earnings to rebound a lot in 2021. A core holding. It's very undervalued. Japan as a whole has bounced back and is bifurcated like other markets.

Music, not motors. Represents the new Japan in investor relations. Buys back stock every year, still sitting with net cash. Stock's down due to China slowdown, and yen is down sharply. Returning to growth, which has been double digits in the past. (Price target in yen.) Yield is 1.9%.
