-- 路透社周二报道称，尽管清酒酿造商和宠物食品制造商的IPO表现强劲，但由于投资者继续青睐人工智能相关股票，日本IPO市场仍将面临压力。 梅野宿啤酒厂（TYO:559A）的股价在上市首日上涨约75%，而犬子生活（TYO:556A）上市后股价也上涨超过30%。报道指出，这些涨幅与整体疲软的市场形成鲜明对比，今年许多新股的交易价格低于发行价。 投资者对软银集团（TYO:9984）和爱德万测试（TYO:6857）等人工智能领军企业的关注，使得资金流向了规模较小、专注于国内市场的IPO候选企业。报道还指出，东京证券交易所更严格的上市标准也抑制了IPO活动，未来几年，企业将面临更严格的估值门槛。 报告指出，由于散户投资者更倾向于投资大型科技股以获取短期收益，而非关注新上市公司，今年东京的IPO数量可能比2025年的水平下降约20%。 （市场动态新闻来源于与全球市场专业人士的对话。这些信息被认为来自可靠来源，但可能包含传闻和推测。准确性无法保证。）

Rate Increases Have Limited Impact on Japanese Borrowers' Credit Quality, S&P Says
Increasing interest rates will not have a significant effect on Japanese borrowers' creditworthiness, although repayment burdens could intensify if the rise in rates continues, S&P Global Ratings said in a Tuesday release.The rating agency expects limited impact on repayment capacity from higher interest rates as residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) are usually backed by fixed-rate housing loans, S&P said.However, rate increases could heighten total borrowing, especially under increased real estate prices, S&P said.The spike in housing prices is likely due to increased employment costs and a sustained rise in imported material prices, the rating agency said.Still, S&P expects that even under the most severe stress scenario, tranches to be downgraded would only have a 17% share of all rated RMBS transactions and still lead to ratings of A+ or higher.
