Hello my dears,
due to the great correction in AI stocks and the upcoming interest rate hike in Japan from Thursday evening to Friday. I went through my Japanese stocks again.
And here could be a good entry opportunity with Fujikura $5803 (+4,23 %) could arise.
What do you think of the share?
I look forward to many comments.
At the very end, I have a little more exciting information about the

TOKYO: Japan's Fujikura has become a standout profile on the hot Nikkei share scale on expectations that the century-old wire maker will benefit from increased investment in artificial intelligence data centers that use its optical fibers.
Fujikura's shares have risen more than 160 percent since the start of 2025, outpacing the Nikkei's 22 percent rise to an all-time high. Its market value of around 33 billion dollars now rivals that of better-known Japanese manufacturers such as air conditioner maker Daikin and construction equipment maker Komatsu.
In Japan, this euphoria has spread to major suppliers and investors in the AI sector such as Advantest, Tokyo Electron and SoftBank Group. These companies alone have accounted for the majority of the Nikkei's gains since the beginning of September.
Fujikura, founded in 1885 during the Meiji era of Japan's modernization, is a focal point for investors scouring the AI supply chain to find the next winning group.
"Generative AI is a big topic and a key driver for the Japanese market," said Kazuaki Shimada, chief strategist at IwaiCosmo Securities. "Now investors have started to look for new targets that could become the next Fujikura."
Mitsui Kinzoku, which makes materials for data center servers, is another AI-related top flyer in the Japanese market, up 192 percent so far in 2025. Another supplier, JX Advanced Metals, has quadrupled since entering the market in March.
Fujikura began as a manufacturer of silk and insulated wires and produced the world's first glass fiber in 1959. Today, these optical fibers are a key component of AI data centers, with around 75 percent of the company's production going to foreign customers such as Google owner Alphabet.
A spokesman said Fujikura increased fiber optic production capacity at its existing plant in February and announced in August it would spend 45 billion yen ($298.45 million) to build another factory.
