I bought them in spring 2023 together with $8001 and $8031. All solid bums as I like it, nice divi and share buybacks. However, the price gains for all of them were also due to higher valuations and $8058 in particular has the highest valuation, but also buys back shares extremely strongly.
Alternatives would be $8053 $8002 and if you are prepared to take more risk and your broker reaches as far as the Tokyo stock exchange, there are also $8098

Try their website. There is also one in German, as they are also represented in this country and at least have Investor Relations in English.
Otherwise, a brief summary from my brain: $8001 as well as $8058 and the other Sogo Shosha are middlemen for all kinds of things. Chemicals, raw materials, primary and end products. For example, they operate a lot of LNG tankers, which is why they had these massive jumps in profits in 2021/22. They also have pipelines, port terminals and all kinds of infrastructure that they build and operate in the emerging markets of Southeast Asia, for example. $8002 is the project manager for a wind farm in the Gulf States, for example. In addition, there are all kinds of (minority) shareholdings and subcontractors. $8001 and $8058 also have their own supermarket chains, among other things.
