Top Japanese Dividend Stocks Yielding Up To 5.2%
Reviewed by Simply Wall St
Japan's stock markets have rebounded strongly, with the Nikkei 225 Index gaining 8.7% and the broader TOPIX Index up 7.9%, buoyed by better-than-expected U.S. economic data and a weaker yen supporting exporters. This positive momentum is further supported by Japan’s robust GDP growth in the second quarter, which expanded more than anticipated. In this favorable economic environment, dividend stocks can be particularly attractive for investors seeking steady income and potential capital appreciation. Here are three top Japanese dividend stocks yielding up to 5.2%.
