Japanese companies - Large Cap Listings on U.S. Markets -$10 bn to $45 bn

The theme is a companion selection of "the top 25 listings on U.S. markets" (market cap > $45 bn) and of Japanese companies - Sōgō shōsha rising (giant conglomerates operating in – and just as significantly out of – Japan – have been known as international trading houses)

Traded over-the-counter (OTC) via a broker-dealer network, with a few rare NYSE listings, market caps of alll the companies listed exceed $10 bn

Record of OTC trades may be poor : companies lacking significant transactions on the U.S. OTC market can be filtered by rank in 'risk contribution' (which will turn out to be negligible)

• Some of the largest companies include Japan Tobacco ,  Advantest , Honda   and Takeda  
• Some of the smaller companies, close to the $10 bn cut-off, include Toray Industries , Tokyo Gas , Kirin Holdings  and Nissan  
• Two companies with NO transactions over 12 months are not included in the selection - Japan Post  and Shinkin Central Bank  

The extensive list of Japanese companies accessible on U.S. exchanges or traded on OTC provides background

Since the companies are often very loosely traded on OTC markets, their performance will usually reflect the trend but not the actual performance on their home market, adjusted for currency shifts -  their track record  on OTC is strictly informative and will justify further researc

With low trading volume on U.S. OTC markets  for the listed shares, performance, volatility and drawdown calculations will be affected - these ratios do not reflect true performance, volatility and drawdown as these same shares are normally traded on their national exchange

Our platform of asset information will include fundamental data information for companies listed on NYSE, but, unfortunately, accounting data for the many OTC (over-the-counter) quoted firms is not available

To highlight momentum and check trends, selected a short time frame - from two weeks to six months - on the menu (top right)

Investors are free to bookmark stocks of interest and to test investments in their virtual portfolio

JP Morgan Betabuilders Japan ETF  is the benchmark of the selection

The fundamental accounting data of Canon , including Market Cap, have not been updated since the firm's delisting from NYSE in March 2023

This selection has set aside OBIC Co. and NEC Corporation  Invalid tag asset for displaying extreme performance or extreme volatility (as of August 2025)
