Mitsubishi UFJ Financial remains a long-term value play, despite short-term political uncertainty and BOJ policy headwinds. Takaichi's election and her push for fiscal stimulus may boost yields, supporting MUFG's net interest margins if deposit costs stay low.

MUFG is poised to benefit from Japan's shift to positive interest rates, with substantial net interest income sensitivity to further BOJ hikes.

Recent wage-driven inflation and a robust labor market support a sustainable rate normalization cycle, creating a favorable environment for Japanese banks.
