-- 路透社週二報道稱，儘管清酒釀造商和寵物食品製造商的IPO表現強勁，但由於投資者繼續青睞人工智慧相關股票，日本IPO市場仍將面臨壓力。 梅野宿啤酒廠（TYO:559A）的股價在上市首日上漲約75%，而犬子生活（TYO:556A）上市後股價也上漲超過30%。報導指出，這些漲幅與整體疲軟的市場形成鮮明對比，今年許多新股的交易價格低於發行價。 投資者對軟銀集團（TYO:9984）和愛德萬測試（TYO:6857）等人工智慧領導者的關注，使得資金流向了規模較小、專注於國內市場的IPO候選企業。報告也指出，東京證券交易所更嚴格的上市標準也抑制了IPO活動，未來幾年，企業將面臨更嚴格的估值門檻。 報告指出，由於散戶投資者更傾向於投資大型科技股以獲取短期收益，而非關注新上市公司，今年東京的IPO數量可能比2025年的水平下降約20%。 （市場動態新聞來自與全球市場專業人士的對話。這些資訊被認為來自可靠來源，但可能包含傳聞和推測。準確性無法保證。）

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.
