Investors Favour Japanese Stocks, Shun Others in Asia-Pacific Region

During the Asia-Pacific reporting season, it's evident that investors have been favoring Japanese companies' stocks and shunning those in Hong Kong, China, and India. This preference is reflected in the reception of earnings. South Korean giant Samsung Electronics Co., Chinese spirits maker Kweichow Moutai Co., and Yaskawa Electric Corp., the Japanese manufacturer of industrial robots, will be the highlights of next week's earnings announcements.
