TOKYO -- Japan's listed companies are riding strong financial results -- bolstered by price increases, the weak yen and the robust U.S. economy -- to historic high stock prices, with 60% of companies that have announced profit results for October to December exceeding analyst expectations.
Staffing services company Recruit Holdings' shares gained sharply in Tokyo on Tuesday, briefly reaching a high of 6,412 yen, up 9% from Friday's close and the highest level since January 2022.
