Member of the Japanese House of Representatives
On JudgeMarket, Sanae Takaichi trades in the upper-middle band of contemporary political names, elevated by a rare catalyst and capped by the volatility of a brand-new premiership. The valuation captures the breakthrough of becoming Japan's first woman LDP president and Prime Minister — a genuine historical multiple — plus a conservative policy stack built around Abenomics continuity, defense expansion, and Abe-lineage political capital. What compresses the price is thin incumbent track record, LDP factional drag, and an economy that punishes any PM who stays long enough to own outcomes. Compared to Xi Jinping, the regional political comp she must negotiate against, Takaichi trades lower on scale. Tsai Ing-wen offers the most direct comp as East Asia's other recent female head of state and prices on completed legacy. Donald Trump sits above on sheer cycle reach. Volatility is high: she re-rates every cabinet shuffle.
