<h3>What&#39;s Aiding the Stock?</h3>
Solid Q2 Results: IAMGOLD announced second-quarter adjusted earnings per share of 16 cents on Aug 8, which reflected a solid improvement from the loss of 1 cent reported in the year-ago quarter. The upside was driven by higher gold sales and realized gold prices. Revenues surged 61.1% year over year to $385 million.
Gold sales were 167,000 ounces on an attributable basis, 38% higher than 121,000 ounces in the second quarter of 2023. The average realized gold price per ounce was up 16% year over year to $2,294.
On Mar 31, 2024, the company announced the first gold pour at the C&ocirc;t&eacute; Gold mine. The mine is operated as a joint venture between IAG and Sumitomo Metal Mining Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Sumitomo (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ssumy#OTC">SSUMY</a>). The C&ocirc;t&eacute; Gold mine reached commercial production on Aug 2, 2024.
The mine&#39;s contribution to IAG&#39;s production was 20,000 ounces of gold in the second quarter. This took IAG&#39;s attributable total production to 166,000 ounces, a 55.1% year-over-year increase.
On May 24, IAG completed a bought deal equity financing of 72 million shares and raised gross proceeds of $300.24 million. Net proceeds will be utilized to repurchase a 9.7% interest in the C&ocirc;t&eacute; Gold mine from Sumitomo Metal Mining Co. Ltd., a subsidiary of Sumitomo, restoring its 70% interest in the C&ocirc;t&eacute; Gold Mine.
Upbeat Outlook: IAMGOLD expects the C&ocirc;t&eacute; Gold mine to produce 220,000-290,000 ounces of gold (on a 100% basis) in 2024.
Strong performances at the Essakane and Westwood mines&nbsp; also aided solid second-quarter results. The Essakane mine reported attributable production of 111,000 ounces in the second quarter of 2024, a 26.1% year-over-year increase mainly due to higher grades. Westwood&#39;s output was 35,000 ounces (up 84% year over year).
The company thus increased Essakane and Westwood&#39;s total production guidance to 495,000-540,000 ounces from the prior stated 430,000-490,000 ounces.
Uptick in Gold Prices: Gold prices have been on an upward trend in 2024 as traders see a potential for the Fed to begin lowering rates. Since the start of 2024, gold prices have risen 21.3% and remained consistently above the $2,000-per-ounce mark. Several factors have contributed to this upward trajectory, including increased geopolitical tensions, the potential for monetary policy easing and continuous purchasing by central banks. The yellow metal is currently at an all-time high at around $2,500 per ounce.
<h3>Other Stocks to Consider</h3>
Some other top-ranked stocks from the basic materials space are Carpenter Technology Corporation&nbsp;and Eldorado Gold Corporation. CRS and EGO sport a Zacks Rank #1 at present.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Carpenter Technology&#39;s fiscal 2025 earnings is pegged at $6.06 per share. The consensus estimate for 2025 earnings has moved 17% north in the past 60 days. It has an average trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 15.9%. CRS shares have gained 155.9% in a year.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Eldorado Gold&#39;s 2024 earnings is pegged at $1.32 per share. The consensus estimate for 2024 earnings has moved 22% north in the past 60 days. It has an average trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 430%. EGO shares have gained 103% in a year.

IAMGOLD Hits 52-Week High: What's Driving the Stock?

The recent global market turmoil, which originated in Japan, has had a limited impact on Warren Buffett&#8216;s substantial Japanese investments. Despite initial significant losses, the market managed to recover most of the decline by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/08/40295176/s-p-500-erases-weekly-losses-nasdaq-100-ends-4-week-slide-as-bulls-regain-momentum-fridays-stock">the end of the week</a>.
What Happened: The Nikkei 225 index, a key indicator for Japanese stocks, plummeted by 12.4% last week, marking its worst performance since the 1987 &#8220;Black Monday.&#8221; This triggered a chain <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/08/40181335/global-stock-market-meltdown-has-more-to-do-with-macro-funds-stuck-in-wrong-way-aro">reaction across global markets</a>. 
The sell-off was prompted by a minor rate hike by the Bank of Japan, which raised rates to their highest in 15 years and u<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/08/40294173/dollar-yen-volatility-sparks-debate-over-carry-trade-positioning-we-maintain-a-stru">nwound the yen &#8220;carry trade</a>.&#8221; Despite this, the market was able to recoup most of its losses and finished the week down only 2.5%.
Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>), Buffett&#8217;s holding company, holds an 8% stake in the five leading Japanese trading houses — ITOCHU (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ITOCY#OTC">ITOCY</a>), Marubeni (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MARUY#OTC">MARUY</a>), Mitsubishi (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSBHF#OTC">MSBHF</a>), Mitsui &amp; Co (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MITSF#OTC">MITSF</a>), and Sumitomo (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSUMY#OTC">SSUMY</a>). The initial plunge in these stocks, up to 30%, was followed by a recovery by the end of the week, in line with the broader market.
Berkshire owns an 8% stake in these five major Japanese trading houses with a total investment of around $20 billion. As of the end of 2023, Berkshire had unrealized gains of over $8 billion in these trading houses. Buffett initially disclosed his 5% investment in these companies in 2020 and has pledged not to exceed a 9.9% stake without board approval.
Despite the market turmoil, the Japanese trading houses reported second-quarter earnings that mostly surpassed analyst expectations and maintained their full-year guidance, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/08/11/how-warren-buffetts-japan-investments-fared-in-the-global-market-rout.html">according</a> to a CNBC report. 
Year to date, Itochu and Mitsubishi shares have risen by over 10%, while Marubeni, Mitsui, and Sumitomo have seen increases of less than 10%.
Outside Japan, Buffett sold significant stock holdings, including half of his Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) stake, raising substantial cash reserves for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/08/40303410/warren-buffett-declares-shift-selling-apple-stock-to-invest-in-this-magnificent-megacap-heres-why">Berkshire in the second quarter</a>.

Why It Matters: Buffett&#8217;s Japanese investments come at a time when his other major moves have drawn significant attention. Recently, Elon Musk commented on Buffett&#8217;s decision to sell nearly half of Berkshire Hathaway&#8217;s stake in Apple Inc. 
Musk suggested that Buffett is &#8220;clearly expecting a correction&#8221; after Berkshire <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40152088/elon-musk-says-warren-buffett-is-clearly-expecting-a-correction-after-berkshire-sold-nearly-half-of">accumulated a cash reserve of almost $277 billion</a>.
Buffett&#8217;s strategic shift towards Japanese trading houses and away from tech giants like Apple is also reflected in Berkshire&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/08/40283605/is-warren-buffett-bearish-or-waiting-to-pounce-berkshire-now-owns-more-t-bills-than-federal-reserve">increased holdings of U.S. Treasury bills</a>. This move has led some to speculate whether Buffett is bearish or simply waiting for the right opportunity to invest.
Buffett&#8217;s influence extends beyond financial <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/40004954/melinda-gates-not-surprised-by-warren-buffetts-new-will-to-form-charity-trust-headed-by-his-children">markets to philanthropy</a>. Recently, he decided to allocate the majority of his remaining wealth to a new charitable trust managed by his children, diverting funds from the Gates Foundation.

Global Market Turmoil Tests Warren Buffett's Japanese Investments: Despite Initial 30% Plunge, Berkshire Hathaway's $20B Bet On Japan's Trading Giants Recovers

Circuit breakers were triggered for Japan&#8217;s TOPIX index and government bond futures, halting trading until 9:26:13 a.m. local time (8:26 p.m. EST). This intervention came as the TOPIX index extended its drop to over 6%, prompting urgent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-buy-japanese-stock">measures to stabilize the market</a>.
What Happened: The broader impact was felt across the Asia-Pacific region, with the MSCI AC Asia Pacific Index falling 2% to 173.20. Japan&#8217;s Nikkei 225 stock average plummeted 5.60% on Monday and 20% from its July peak, highlighting severe market distress. South Korea&#8217;s KOSPI index also suffered, falling 4% to 2,568.70, while NASDAQ 100 futures in the U.S. dropped as much as 2%.
Heavyweight trading houses such as Mitsubishi Motors (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MMTOF#OTC">MMTOF</a>), Mitsui &amp; Co (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MITSF#OTC">MITSF</a>), Sumitomo (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSUMY#OTC">SSUMY</a>), and Marubeni (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MARUY#OTC">MARUY</a>) all plunged more than 10%.

The sell-off continues a worrying trend from Friday, when Japan&#8217;s Nikkei 225 and TOPIX both fell over 5% and 6%, respectively.
U.S. markets also faced <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/08/40151107/tech-sell-off-takes-qqq-to-correction-territory-nvidia-sheds-over-5-for-week-analys">significant losses on Friday</a>, sparked by a much weaker-than-expected jobs report for July. The Nasdaq led the decline, entering correction territory with a drop of more than 10% from its record high, while the S&amp;P 500 and Dow were down 5.7% and 3.9% from their all-time highs, respectively.
Dow Jones Industrial Average futures fell by 383 points, or 0.96%, while S&amp;P 500 futures and Nasdaq-100 futures dipped 1.6% and 2.5%.

Equinor Extends 35-Year Partnership: Nippon Steel and Sumitomo to Supply OCTG for Up to 9 Years

Investors with an interest in Diversified Operations stocks have likely encountered both Sumitomo Corp. (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ssumy#OTC">SSUMY</a>) and ITT (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/itt#NYSE">ITT</a>). But which of these two stocks offers value investors a better bang for their buck right now? We&#39;ll need to take a closer look.
We have found that the best way to discover great value opportunities is to pair a strong Zacks Rank with a great grade in the Value category of our Style Scores system. The Zacks Rank favors stocks with strong earnings estimate revision trends, and our Style Scores highlight companies with specific traits.
Right now, both Sumitomo Corp. and ITT are sporting a Zacks Rank of # 2 (Buy). This system places an emphasis on companies that have seen positive earnings estimate revisions, so investors should feel comfortable knowing that these stocks have improving earnings outlooks. But this is just one factor that value investors are interested in.
Value investors also tend to look at a number of traditional, tried-and-true figures to help them find stocks that they believe are undervalued at their current share price levels.
The Value category of the Style Scores system identifies undervalued companies by looking at a number of key metrics. These include the long-favored P/E ratio, P/S ratio, earnings yield, cash flow per share, and a variety of other fundamentals that help us determine a company&#39;s fair value.
SSUMY currently has a forward P/E ratio of 8.43, while ITT has a forward P/E of 22.21. We also note that SSUMY has a PEG ratio of 0.58. This popular figure is similar to the widely-used P/E ratio, but the PEG ratio also considers a company&#39;s expected EPS growth rate. ITT currently has a PEG ratio of 1.68.
Another notable valuation metric for SSUMY is its P/B ratio of 0.93. Investors use the P/B ratio to look at a stock&#39;s market value versus its book value, which is defined as total assets minus total liabilities. By comparison, ITT has a P/B of 4.13.
These are just a few of the metrics contributing to SSUMY&#39;s Value grade of A and ITT&#39;s Value grade of D.
Both SSUMY and ITT are impressive stocks with solid earnings outlooks, but based on these valuation figures, we feel that SSUMY is the superior value option right now.

SSUMY or ITT: Which Is the Better Value Stock Right Now?

Private equity giants such as Blackstone Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BX#NYSE">BX</a>) have seemingly gobbled up everything in the United States market, from <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=rover+blackstone+benzinga&amp;oq=rover+blackstone+benzinga&amp;gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyCQgAEEUYORigATIHCAEQIRigATIHCAIQIRigATIHCAMQIRigATIHCAQQIRigAdIBCDI2MjZqMGo5qAIAsAIB&amp;sourceid=chrome&amp;ie=UTF-8">pet care</a> to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/03/37719939/is-it-time-to-buy-the-commercial-real-estate-dip-the-worlds-biggest-private-equity-">real estate</a>, even eying a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/24/05/38710804/nfl-rule-could-open-door-for-big-money-investors-will-your-team-go-up-for-sale">purchase of sports teams</a>. The NYC-based investment management company has eyed a new opportunity: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/japan">the Japanese market</a>. 
What Happened: Nikkei Asia <a href="https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Finance/Blackstone-eyes-10bn-in-Japan-deals-amid-buyout-fund-influx">reported</a> that Blackstone is planning to invest $9.6 billion in Japan by 2027.
&#8220;There are a number of factors that have come together that have really accelerated growth in the Japanese economy as well as investment opportunities,&#8221; Blackstone President Jonathan Gray told Nikkei. &#8220;It&#8217;s been the return of inflation to the Japanese economy, the strength in the stock market, the policies under Prime Minister [Fumio] Kishida, which have encouraged individual Japanese to move from savers to investors, which we think is very important, the encouragement of companies to focus on return on equity and to look at selling noncore divisions.&#8221;
The iShares MSCI Japan ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EWJ#NYSE">EWJ</a>) is up over 9% in 2024 and the Japanese Yen is as weak against the U.S. Dollar as it has been in several decades.
Why it Matters: Blackstone is not alone in pursuing opportunities in the Japanese market. Investment managers, including Bain Capital and KKR &amp; Co Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KKR#NYSE">KKR</a>), are increasingly favoring Japan rather than China and India for investment opportunities.
Carlyle Group, which has previously invested in Japan, saw an internal rate of return of 28%, compared with around 8% to 14% for major Carlyle funds with focuses in Europe or Asia, according to Nikkei.
Berkshire Hathaway Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) has made several investments in Japan in recent years. CEO Warren Buffett famously <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/17/opinion/17buffett.html">prefers</a> to invest in American companies, but a favorable Japanese interest rate environment led Berkshire to take stakes in the following Japanese conglomerates in 2020:

Private Equity Giant Blackstone Targets Japanese Market, Anticipates 'Accelerated Growth': Report

Since Warren Buffett expressed willingness to raise his exposures to Japanese trading companies on&nbsp;April 10, the Nikkei 225 index, which represents the broad&nbsp;Japanese stock market, registered gains for five straight weeks, increasing by 8%&nbsp;and surging <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/23/04/31742382/buffett-loves-japan-nikkei-stocks-rally-after-berkshire-hathaway-ceo-says-he-raises-bets-in-five-jap" target="_blank">back to November 2021 highs.&nbsp;</a>
In comparison, the S&amp;P 500 index, which is tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 Trust ETF (ARCA: SPY), only gained by 1% over the same time span, thus lagging well behind Japanese equities.&nbsp;
Until Buffett publicly stated his desire to boost his holdings of Japanese stocks, the Nikkei and the S&amp;P 500 had almost&nbsp;equal year-to-date performance, as the chart below shows.&nbsp;
Chart: The Buffett&#39;s Effect | Japanese Stocks&nbsp;Strongly Outperformed U.S. Peers Since Buffett&#39;s Bet In April

Why Buffett Loves Japan:&nbsp;Buffett has long had an attraction for the Japanese &quot;sogo sosha,&quot;&nbsp;or trading house companies, which are diversified conglomerates that trade at cheap or discount&nbsp;valuations&nbsp;on the market. Just what Berkshire Hathaway Inc.&#39;s&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bkr-a#NYSE">BKR-A</a>) CEO&nbsp;needs to hear.&nbsp;
The &quot;Oracle of Omaha&quot;&nbsp;had purchased slightly more than 5% of Japan&#39;s top five trading houses in August 2020:&nbsp;Itochu Corp. (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/itocy#OTC">ITOCY</a>), Mitsubishi Corp. (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/msbhf#OTC">MSBHF</a>), Mitsui &amp; Co. Ltd. (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mitsy#OTC">MITSY</a>), Sumitomo ADR&nbsp;(OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ssumy#OTC">SSUMY</a>), and Marubeni ADR&nbsp;(OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/maruy#OTC">MARUY</a>). Buffett&nbsp;then increased his bets twice in November 2022 and April 2023.&nbsp;
How To Invest In Japanese Equities: There are two major exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that provide investors with exposure to Japanese equities.
The primary distinction between them relates to their currency hedging strategies.
The currency-unhedged iShares MSCI Japan ETF (ARCA: EWJ) tracks a market-cap-weighted index that encompasses around 85% of the investable universe of securities traded in Japan. In this case, a U.S.-based investor would be susceptible to swings in the Japanese yen&#39;s performance versus the dollar.
The WisdomTree Japan Hedged Equity Fund (ARCA: DXJ) invests in Japanese dividend-paying firms while hedging against currency swings. In this situation, a U.S.-based investment would not be exposed to currency risk.
Over the previous three years, DXJ has significantly outperformed EWJ by more than 50% due to&nbsp;a sharp rise in the dollar&#39;s relative value to the yen.

Japanese Stocks Rallied Five Weeks In A Row After Warren Buffett's Bet, Outperforming A Nearly Flat S&P 500

Billionaire investor&nbsp;Warren Buffett&nbsp;said in an interview with Nikkei on Tuesday that&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/23/04/31740469/warren-buffett-very-proud-of-japanese-investments-5-tokyo-listed-stocks-berkshire-has-stakes-in" target="_blank">he was proud of his investments in shares of Japanese trading houses.</a>
In his appearance on CNBC&rsquo;s Squawk Box on Wednesday, he elaborated further on the logic behind his Japanese bets.
What Happened:&nbsp;Buffett&rsquo;s agreed that his investment in Japanese stocks reflects his stamp of approval in Japan. This was accurate a couple of years ago too, he said.
&ldquo;I was confounded by the fact that we could buy into these companies and in effect have earnings yield, maybe 14% or something like that, with dividends&hellip;.. that grew 70% during that time and people were investing money at quarter percent or nothing, and then the quarter percent, if they put it out for a year, it wasn&rsquo;t going to grow,&rdquo; the billionaire said.
&ldquo;It&#39;s sure gonna be better than I thought it would be.&quot;
See Also:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/warren-buffetts-forex-strategy" target="_blank">&nbsp;Warren Buffett&#39;s Forex Strategy</a>
Tracing Back Investment History:&nbsp;&nbsp;Buffett told CNBC that the investment in the Japanese trading houses started about four years ago.
&ldquo;I was looking at company after company, as I do every day and I just thought these were big companies. These were companies that I generally understood what they did, somewhat similar to&nbsp;Berkshire Hathaway, Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/brk-a#NYSE" target="_blank">BRK-A</a>) (NYSE:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/brk-b#NYSE" target="_blank">BRK-B</a>),&quot; the billionaire investor said.
These stocks were trading at &ldquo;ridiculous&rdquo; prices, compared to the interest rates that prevailed at that time, he said.
Buffett said he, therefore, started buying all five largest trading houses during his 90th birthday (Aug. 30, 2020). The five trading companies Berkshire has stakes in are:
<ul>
<li>Itochu Corp.&nbsp;(OTC:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/itocy#OTC" target="_blank">ITOCY</a>)</li>
<li>Mitsubishi Corp.&nbsp;(OTC:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/msbhf#OTC" target="_blank">MSBHF</a>)</li>
<li>Mitsui &amp; Co., Ltd&nbsp;(OTC:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mitsy#OTC" target="_blank">MITSY</a>)</li>
<li>Sumitomo Corp.&nbsp;(OTC:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ssumy#OTC" target="_blank">SSUMY</a>) and</li>
<li>Marubeni Corp.&nbsp;(OTC:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/maruy#OTC" target="_blank">MARUY</a>)</li>
</ul>
Berkshire picked up an identical 5% stake in each of these companies and Buffett wrote to the CEOs of the companies at that time that he would never buy more than 9.9% in each without their consent.
Since Berkshire&rsquo;s purchases, the dividends of these companies have, on average, gone up by about 70%, he noted.
The investment guru also said Berkshire now owns 7.4% of each of these companies. He also said during his Japanese visit, he met with each of these companies over the past two days.
Buffett said these stocks are long-term bets. &ldquo;We&#39;ll be in these stocks 10-20 years,&rdquo; he said.

Warren Buffett Reveals 'Confounding' Fact That Made Him Invest In Japan's Top 5 Trading Firms: 'Better Than I Thought'

Shares of the Nikkei 225, the largest equity index in Japan, increased more than 1% after Berkshire Hathaway Inc&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bkr-a#NYSE">BKR-A</a>) CEO Warren Buffett stated in a media interview with Nikkei press that he plans to increase his exposure to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/23/04/31740469/warren-buffett-very-proud-of-japanese-investments-5-tokyo-listed-stocks-berkshire-has-stakes-in" target="_blank">Japanese trading houses</a>.&nbsp;
After revealing in August 2020&nbsp;it had purchased somewhat more than 5% of Japan&#39;s top five trading houses &mdash;&nbsp;Itochu Corp. (OTC:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ITOCY#OTC">ITOCY</a>), Mitsubishi Corp.&nbsp;(OTC:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSBHF#OTC">MSBHF</a>), Mitsui &amp; Co. (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mitsy#OTC">MITSY</a>), Sumitomo Corp. (OTC:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSUMY#OTC">SSUMY</a>)&nbsp;and Marubeni Corp. (OTC:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MARUY#OTC">MARUY</a>) &mdash; Buffett expanded its interests in Japanese stocks in November.
Sogo sosha, or Japanese trading corporations, are diversified conglomerates that typically trade at low or cheap market valuations.
Buffett&#39;s favorite Japanese equities trade at single-digit future P/E ratios, giving them an appealing value proposition that has likely piqued the interest of the &quot;Oracle of Omaha,&quot; who is now in Japan on a business trip.
<img alt="" src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/u1363475/koyfin_20230411_013801213.png" style="height:500px; width:968px" />
Itochu CEO Masahiro&nbsp;Okafuji told Nikkei that he is &quot;confident&quot;&nbsp;Buffett thinks the Japanese market justifies more investment. The iShares MSCI Japan Index Fund (ARCA: EWJ) is up 4.8% year-to-date.&nbsp;
Market Reactions To Buffett&rsquo;s Interview: Shares of the five Japanese trading houses rallied more than 2% at the close of the market session in Tokyo.
Mitsubishi Corp. (8058) gained 2%, Mitsui &amp; Co. (8031) was up by 2.7%, Itochu Corp. (8001) by 3%, Sumitomo Corp. (8053) by 3.2% and Marubeni Corp. (8002) by 4.6%.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and its&nbsp;National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) unveiled &quot;a landmark achievement&quot; Tuesday when it confirmed that a fusion ignition breakthrough at a California lab essentially proves that an unlimited clean energy source <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/topic/clean-energy">is indeed feasible</a>.
The successful experiment, conducted at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and considered &quot;a triumph of science&quot; by the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/united-states-department-of-energy">DOE and NNSA</a>, also bodes well for various companies that are currently innovating in the field of clean fusion energy.
Read on for insight on five stocks that may benefit on the heels of the announcement.

<ul>
<li>Chevron (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cvx#NYSE">CVX</a>): This may sound like a strange one, but it turns out that this San Ramon, California-based oil giant is a backer of nuclear fusion technology. <a href="https://www.chevron.com/newsroom/2020/q3/chevron-invests-in-nuclear-fusion-start-up">In 2020</a>, Chevron joined a Series A investment round in Zap Energy Inc., a Seattle-based startup developing a &quot;next-generation modular nuclear reactor&quot; that&#39;s &quot;cost-effective, flexible, and commercially scalable.&quot;</li>
<li>Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/amzn#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>): Back when Jeff Bezos was CEO, he joined an investor group that committed $19.5 million to General Fusion Inc., a startup that specializes in nuclear fusion. As of last <a href="https://generalfusion.com/post/general-fusion-closes-oversubscribed-130-million-transitional-financing-round/">November</a>, Bezos &mdash; now executive chairman &mdash; was still backing the Canada-based company when it closed an oversubscribed $130 million Series E funding round led by Singapore-based asset manager Temasek.</li>
<li>Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/googl#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>): In July, Google, along with Chevron, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/22/07/n28113394/tae-technologies-exceeds-fusion-reactor-performance-goals-by-250-as-company-closes-250-million-fin">joined</a> a $250 million funding round for TAE Technologies, a nuclear fusion startup. The effort is expected to help build its next research reactor, dubbed &quot;Copernicus.&quot; So far, TAE has raised $1.2 billion.</li>
<li>Sumitomo (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ssumy#OTC">SSUMY</a>): The Tokyo-based investment company is also a backer of TAE, and hopes to introduce fusion technology as a clean energy source to the Asia-Pacific region.</li>
<li>Cenovus Energy Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cve#NYSE">CVE</a>): This Calgary, Alberta-based company was originally focused on oil sands assets when it launched in 2009. Two years later, it backed the Series B round for General Fusion.</li>
</ul>
The nuclear fusion tech industry remains essentially private, <a href="https://www.fusionenergybase.com/organizations/#companies">dominated </a>by some 30 companies.
