Japan’s aesthetic medical clinic market is seeing growth as new providers pop up and large foreign players enter. But many struggle due to intense competition, a lack of infrastructure and unscrupulous business practices. That’s bad news for them, but one company says it’s not worried – SBC Medical Group Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: SBC), the Japanese owner and operator of a chain of cosmetic surgery clinics.
The company says it has an edge over its rivals thanks to its established presence in Japan and brand name recognition. SBC has over 224 franchises, 4.3 million customers and more than 500 licensed doctors performing these advanced beauty and regenerative services.

Each week, Benzinga’s Stock Whisper Index uses a combination of proprietary data and pattern recognition to showcase five stocks that are just under the surface and deserve attention.
Investors are constantly on the hunt for undervalued, under-followed and emerging stocks. With countless methods available to retail traders, the challenge often lies in sifting through the abundance of information to uncover new opportunities and understand why certain stocks should be of interest.
Barrick Gold (GOLD): The gold company saw increased interest from Benzinga readers during the week. The biggest reason for the increased attention was likely a UBS analyst upgrade on the stock going from Neutral to Buy with a $22 price target. Benzinga recently shared that the company is getting closer to resolving a dispute in Mali, an item that has hurt the company's financials. Gold stocks could also be seeing increased attention from investors as a possible hedge against tariffs and growing macroeconomic concerns.
The stock was up 3% over the last week as shown on the Benzinga Pro chart below and shares are up 17% over the last year.
