投资策略要点总结 涉及的行业与公司 * **行业**：日本股市整体策略、银行业、人寿保险业[6][77][86] * **公司**：日本邮政保险、第一生命控股、T&D控股、索尼金融集团、三井住友金融集团、瑞穗金融集团、Resona控股、福冈金融集团、青空银行、千叶银行、静冈银行、横滨银行等[77][78][79][80][86][89] 核心观点与论据 对日本股市的整体看法：无需过度悲观 * 核心观点：尽管长期利率上升，但对日本股市持悲观态度是不必要的[1][6][7] * 论据1：日本实际利率仍为深度负值，假设核心CPI稳定在3%左右，实际政策利率转为正并成为限制性利率前仍有超过2%的缓冲空间[6][16] * 论据2：日本股票估值在全球比较中仍然便宜，收益率利差（定义为盈利率减去长期利率）高于美国或欧洲[6][17][36] * 论据3：杠杆相关指标不太可能成为选股的关键驱动因素，价值因子在利率上升环境中往往更有效[6][28][32] 利率上升环境下的市场动态与因子表现 * **杠杆与股价关系**：在利率上升环境中，高杠杆股票往往跑赢，因为市场更看重杠杆对营收增长的推动作用，而非利息支出增加带来的利润压力[22][24] * **价值因子有效性增强**：日本长期利率上升增强了价值因子的有效性，自2021年以来的样本中，日本长期利率每上升1%，预计将使综合价值因子回报率提升23.83%，约为美国长期利率同等升幅影响（4.75%）的五倍[33][76] * **关键期限利率**：回归分析表明，在所有期限中，10年期利率对价值因子的影响最为关键，其调整后的R²最高，为0.40[71][72] 银行业：机遇与风险并存 * **核心影响**：利率上升既通过新发行债券提高票息收入，也带来未实现损失扩大的风险[78] * **银行持仓与策略**： * 覆盖范围内的大多数银行尚未完全重新进入日元债券投资，持仓余额有限，投资组合久期未延长至长期[78] * 大型银行可能通过试探性建仓，适度增加中短期债券的持有量，例如有报道称三井住友金融集团考虑在长期收益率达到2.5-3.0%区间时，将其日本国债持仓从当前的约10万亿日元大幅增加至约20万亿日元[79] * 日本邮政银行正在构建其国债投资组合，其基本政策是持有至到期，因此实现损失的风险有限，截至2025年9月末，其CET1比率为12.43%，被视为充足[80] * **潜在损失**：Resona控股和福冈金融集团可能在财年下半年考虑对日元债券执行止损，但此类损失很可能被股票销售收益等其他抵消因素所吸收[78] 人寿保险业：维持吸引力观点 * **核心观点**：超长期日本国债收益率急剧上升并未从根本上改变对人寿保险子行业的看法，重申对保险股的“具吸引力”行业观点[6][86] * **财务影响分析**： * **会计基础**：对利润表略有正面，因为投资收入的增长可能超过成本上升，减值损失不是主要风险[87][88] * **经济价值基础**：对利润表正面（因新业务利润率扩大），对资产负债表略有负面，影响因公司而异[93][94] * 国内利率上升0.5%对第一生命控股、T&D控股、日本邮政保险、索尼金融集团的经济价值影响分别为-1.5%、-1.0%、-1.3%、-6.5%[95] * **财务指标**：略有负面影响，但缓冲空间充足，触发早期纠正措施的ESR水平低于100%，而所有公司在F3/26第二季度的ESR均远高于此水平[95] * 国内利率上升0.5%对上述四家公司的经济偿付能力比率影响分别为-7%、-7%、-10%、-16%[96] * **抛售风险**：人寿保险公司不太可能抛售日本国债，与2022年LDI冲击的情况不同，日本寿险公司的掉期交易风险暴露程度完全不同，杠杆驱动的投资风险较低[96][97] 日本国债市场动态与政策风险 * **收益率上升**：2025年12月，10年期日本国债收益率突破2.0%，2026年1月20日，10年期收益率突破2.3%，创1999年后新高，30年期收益率也在1月突破3.5%，创历史新高[38] * **市场动荡原因**：在财政恶化担忧背景下，日本国债市场（尤其是超长期部分）持续缺乏买家，形成自我强化的负面循环：缺乏买家导致市场流动性下降，卖压推高收益率，这又被解读为财政恶化的信号，引发进一步债券抛售[7][8][10] * **政策风险**：如果日本央行通过增加日本国债购买来稳定市场，可能传递出财政主导的错误信号，导致日元贬值[13][35] 股票与债券的相对吸引力 * **收益率对比**：2026年1月6日，长期日本国债收益率略微超过股票股息收益率，这是20多年来的首次[39] * **股票吸引力未减**：仅比较股息收益率和债券收益率是不恰当的，必须考虑资本利得，总股东回报还包括股息增长、股份回购带来的每股收益增长以及估值变化[41][49] * 股息增长：日本企业股息在FY80至FY25期间的复合年增长率为6.7%，在FY10（金融危机后）至FY25期间加速至9.5%，在FY21（疫情后）至FY25期间加速至10.3%[44] * 股份回购：预计TSE Prime上市公司在FY25的回购金额将达到18万亿日元，与总股息支付额（23.9万亿日元）相差不大[49] * **通胀环境利好**：历史数据显示，2-4%的适度通胀区间对股票的名义和实际回报最为理想，如果日本成功摆脱长期通缩，日本股票的回报率有可能超过过去水平[57][58] 其他重要内容 * **估值案例**：日本邮政保险基于F3/26每股预估企业价值的P/EV为0.48倍，反映了相对于RoEV/股东资本成本所暗示的P/EV有70%的折价，随着长期利率上升预期和RoEV改善，预计折价将收缩约10个百分点[103] * **研究范围**：本报告为摩根士丹利MUFG证券株式会社及其关联公司发布的日本股票策略研究报告，发布日期为2026年1月23日[3][105] * **利益冲突披露**：摩根士丹利在过往12个月内从日本邮政保险获得投资银行服务报酬，并预计在未来3个月内寻求或获得其投资银行服务报酬[109][110]
