Shares of Kakaku.com, Inc. (TSE:2371, Financial) were strong in the third quarter and have more than doubled year-to-date. The company hosts various websites, including the leading price comparison site and online restaurant reservation service in Japan. During the quarter, the company posted strong operating results, and the company's president commented on a favor able operating environment. We further believe Kakaku is a beneficiary of Prime Minister Abe's agenda to drive consumer confidence and stimulate consumption. (Kyuhey August)
