The company’s fund-raising plans are closely watched by equity-market investors as Buffett has purchased stakes in trading firms, which helped propel the Nikkei 225 stock gauge to a record high earlier this year. Veteran investor Buffett said in his annual letter in February that Berkshire has financed most of its investment in Japanese companies through yen bond offerings.
“There’s still more room for Berkshire to increase its stake in trading houses,” said Takehiko Masuzawa, head of equity trading at Phillip Securities Japan. For the Japanese stock market overall, “this is good news for those looking to buy, and it will give them the push they need.” The extra yield on Berkshire’s 2027 notes - one of its most-traded yen bonds - was about 60 basis points on Monday, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The notes were sold at a spread of 51 basis points in April. Average yield premiums on yen bonds in a Bloomberg index tightened to 44.8 basis points from about 58 basis points at the start of the year.
