  • Results for the Nine Months Ended December 31, 2000
    Results for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2000 Introduction In a Web audience survey conducted by Nippon Research Center Ltd., the number of Internet users in Japan was approximately 23 million people as of December 2000, with Web users accounting for approximately 20 million of this total. Also according to a survey by Video Research Netcom Ltd., the number of households using the Internet had risen to 30.5% of Japanese households as of September 2000. Based on this growth in Internet users, the Internet advertising market in Japan grew 111.4% to ¥24.1 billion in calendar 1999 according to a survey by DENTSU INC. and is estimated to hit ¥50 billion in calendar 2000. According to IAB report, the Internet advertising market in the United States declined against the previous quarter for the first time in the third quarter of calendar 2000, falling 6.5%, to US$1.98 billion. The decline was attributed to the slow down in the economy, the bankruptcy of some dot com companies, and advertising restraint. Market growth is forecast to decline compared with other years, with the figure for the first three quarters of calendar 2000 rising only 113.2% compared to the previous year. Under the impact of advertising restraint due to poor conditions in economies, the rate of growth in U.S. and Japanese Internet advertising may slow temporarily but the fundamentals have not changed significantly. In the medium to long term, as a new advertising medium, Internet advertising is expected to continue to grow as its value increases in tandem with the number of Internet users.

  • Sumi TRUST Monthly Commentary March 2015
    SuMi TRUST Monthly Commentary March 2015 Key Points 1. Japanese Economy: Increasing Tourism Though there are many that remain skeptical about the Japanese Stock Market, few can doubt the impact of overseas tourists on Japan. Weak domestic demand is being offset by increased consumption by visitors to Japan, particularly from Asian countries, and giving a boost to the economy. 2. Stock of The Month: Bic Camera (3048) One of the biggest beneficiaries of increased tourism is Japan’s second largest electronics retailer Bic Camera (3048). With many stores ideally located in tourist hot spots, and with activities aimed at supporting tourists, Bic Camera is our stock of the month. 3. Market Review and Outlook The Nikkei 225 climbed to 18,797 (+6.36% MoM) by the end of February, driven by massive purchases from public pension funds.
