The Japanese market has shown remarkable resilience, with a 3.8% increase in the last 7 days and a significant climb of 37% over the past year, alongside an anticipated earnings growth of 9.8% per annum. In this buoyant environment, identifying dividend stocks that offer both stability and attractive yields becomes particularly compelling for investors seeking to capitalize on Japan's current market dynamics.
Japan's biggest city gas provider, Tokyo Gas, said on Thursday it expects to close the planned sale of its stakes in a portfolio of four Australian liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects at the end of February. In October 2022, the Japanese utility agreed to sell its stakes in the Australian projects to MidOcean Energy, a unit of U.S. fund EIG, for $2.15 billion, but it has taken time to complete the deal as it needed to coordinate with the many parties involved, a Tokyo Gas spokesperson said. The deal, including the sale amount, will largely remain unchanged, except for a 1.575% stake in the Ichthys project, which will be sold to Japan's Inpex after being sold once to MidOcean, Tokyo Gas said.
Abu Dhabi state fund Mubadala Investment and Japanese oil and gas explorer Inpex are among firms competing to acquire SapuraOMV in a deal expected to be worth about $1.2 billion, according to two sources with direct knowledge. The sale of the Malaysian-headquartered oil and gas upstream company could help boost weak global merger and acquisition (M&A) activity buffeted by headwinds from a slowing world economy, higher interest rates and geopolitical tension. Indonesian energy company Medco Energi is also vying for SapuraOMV, an equal joint venture of Sapura Energy and Austria's OMV, with bids due this week, the sources added.
