The Bank of Japan has raised its short-term interest rate to 1.25%, the highest since 1995, signaling a shift in corporate behavior as Japanese companies begin to raise prices. The iShares MSCI Japan Value ETF (EWJV), which is overweight in financials, stands to benefit from improved net interest margins due to rising rates. This could enhance earnings and support further dividend growth, with dividends having grown at a 33% CAGR since 2020 and a potential yield of 5.59% by 2026 if trends continue. This development highlights a positive outlook for undervalued Japanese equities amid persistent inflation and monetary tightening.
