Japan Tobacco stock rating upgraded by JPMorgan on heated tobacco gains

Japan Tobacco has received an upgrade in its stock rating from JPMorgan, largely due to the company's strong performance in the heated tobacco sector. This upgrade is significant as it reflects growing investor confidence in Japan Tobacco's ability to adapt to changing consumer preferences and capitalize on the rising demand for less harmful alternatives to traditional smoking. As the market for heated tobacco continues to expand, this positive outlook could lead to increased investments and further growth for the company.
