</div>PAST THE PEAK - Our earnings indicator peaked 14 months ago, two months ahead of the market's high point on 26th January 2018. It now appears that aggregate reported earnings, as well as aggregate company forecasts for the current year, are now turning decisively lower after nine quarters of uninterrupted growth. Forecast Net Income for the current year is now 7% below the high point in trailing-twelve-month (TTM) Net Income from this cycle, which was reached two months ago. Operating Income is, as usual, 'lagging' and forecasts are still marginally ahead of TTM. The TTM all-market price-earnings ratio reached 11.5 times on Christmas Day, which will prove to be the cycle low point. We expect the return to median levels, to be achieved more through lower 'E' as opposed to a higher 'P'.  Mr Market is currently implying that Japanese corporate profits are due to fall by 23% on average from the cycle peak, or by 30% if we are to revisit the December low-point. <figure class="editor-figure mceNonEditable"><img src="https://static-prod.smartkarma.com/images/media/000/077/746/original/2019-02-03_07-23-31.png?1549146223" class="editor-image img-responsive" data-smartkarma-image-id="77746"></figure><div class="content-caption">Source: Japan Analytics</div>THE FIRST CUT - 23% of listed companies reported their most recent quarterly earnings results in the last two weeks.

OUTLOOK &amp; RECOMMENDATIONS

We continue to recommend an underweight position in Japan in global portfolios.
The equity market decline at the end of last year was well in advance of the underlying trends in the economy and corporate profits; the recent 10% rally has corrected that imbalance. Nevertheless, the global cycle has turned down sharply, and many economies will be in a recession by the end of this quarter. We expect Japanese corporate earnings to follow suit.  
Although some of the coming decline in aggregate earnings has been well-discounted, our Results &amp; Revision Score has yet to turn negative. Accordingly, we expect the market to retest the December 2018 low, probably in May when the FY2020 forecasts are announced and our score starts 'seeing red'.
In the near term and despite the rally in the more cyclical sectors, we continue to favour undervalued domestically-orientated companies in the Information Technology, Internet, Media, and Telecommunications sectors. We would avoid or short Banks and Non-Bank Finance.

In the DETAIL section below, we will review Sector performance over the last two weeks, and, in addition to our regular roundup of results, revisions and stock performance including brief comments on Anritsu (6754 JP), Alps Alpine (6770 JP), SanBio (4592 JP), Lixil (5938 JP) (yes, again), Fanuc (6954 JP), Mizuho Financial Group (8411 JP) , and Cyberagent (4751 JP).

DOWN, DOWN, DEEPER &amp; DOWN - Japanese equities were as unfashionable as the venerable 'Quo' in 2018, although all of the year's decline occurred in the fourth quarter. Our All-Market-Composite fell by 16.1%, only three sectors - REITs, Utilities and Telecoms - rose and four sectors - Metals, Building Materials, Technology Hardware and Machinery - fell by more than 30%. All of the sixteen outperforming sectors are domestically-orientated, and only two - Other Commercial Products and Other Consumer Products are manufacturing sectors. With no end in sight to the Bank of Japan's accommodation, interest rates remained at historically-depressed levels and provided no respite to financial sectors. Construction and Building Materials declined as the pre-Olympic construction order cycle peaked out, although Real Estate outperformed as office vacancy rates and rents reached three-decade new lows and new highs, respectively. The largest fourth-quarter declines were in the Energy, Internet, Information Technology and Commercial Services sectors and now offer some attractive stock-specific opportunities.

A comment from a Smartkarma client prompted me to dig through this. It was an interesting comment suggesting the high weight Nikkei 225 names, or high weight-low float names were getting squeezed by BOJ buying or by a short squeeze on the short basket which had been proposed by a number of sellside brokers after the BOJ dropped its Nikkei 225 buying. The likelihood and nature of the change in Nikkei 225 buying by the BOJ was most recently discussed in the insights below:

However, the BOJ and Nikkei 225 story has been a deceased equine I have been belabouring for 2+ years.
Of course, the trigger for many people's suggestions of a trade was the decision by the BOJ on 31 July to lower its annual rate of purchases of ETFs in the grouping of the TOPIX, Nikkei 225, and JPX Nikkei 400 basket which was seeing total buys of ¥3.0trln a year (in addition to the ¥2.7trln on TOPIX alone) to ¥1.5trln, raising and lifting the portion of "only TOPIX" to ¥4.2trln. That meant the total to be bought in Nikkei would drop from about ¥1.3-1.4trln to about half that, and JPX Nikkei 400 saw its portion of BOJ ETF buys drop to very low single digit percentages, with TOPIX taking about 85% of total buys from there on.
As described in numerous insights on Smartkarma dating back a few years, it is to be noted that the "float" on several Japanese stocks in the Nikkei 225 is not really "float" and Real World Float is much smaller. In some cases single digit percentages of the shares outstanding.
Many of us have watched the 70+% performance since end-August for <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/320" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:320:1">Familymart Uny Holdings (8028 JP)</a> - one of my favored names to get heavily sold should the Nikkei 225 actually change its weighting methodology as I proposed earlier this year. It has been the avatar for high weight low-float names in the Nikkei 225.
So I tested the idea. The results were somewhat surprising.

PEER GROUP SCORES

The number of constituents and size in terms of market capitalisation vary widely. However, all scores are cap-weighted.  We look at the top and bottom-ranked Peer Groups by Combined Results &amp; Revision Score as well as the top and bottom changes in score over the last quarter. We also chart the relationships between the Results/Revision Scores and the Relative Price Score and divide our Peer Groups 'universe' into four quadrants - 'Contrarian Buy', 'Contrarian Sell', 'Peak Growth/Turnaround' and 'Overpriced Ex-Growth' and provide a list of Most Preferred and Least Preferred Peer Groups.
