# Buffett issues 90 billion yen bonds, analysts: it may be a signal for contrarian bottom-fishing

> Berkshire Hathaway, led by Warren Buffett, issued 90 billion yen in bonds, marking the smallest yen transaction since entering the Japanese market in 2019. Analysts believe that this bond issuance may signal Buffett's contrarian bottom-fishing strategy, and it is expected to be used to increase holdings in Japan's five major trading companies

Warren Buffett's "Oracle of Omaha" Berkshire Hathaway recently issued a total of 90 billion yen in bonds. Data compiled by Bloomberg shows that this is the smallest yen transaction for Buffett's company since it entered the Japanese market in 2019. Against the backdrop of market turbulence, this bond issuance has garnered significant attention, as the funds raised by Berkshire may be used to increase its stake in Japanese companies. Analysts suggest that as stock prices decline, the valuations of the five major trading companies have also retreated. According to Buffett's investment philosophy of "be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful," this issuance of yen bonds may signal a contrarian buying opportunity, and Berkshire is likely to continue increasing its holdings in the five major trading companies in the future
