Asahi Posts Modest February Sales Gain as Store Network Edges Higher

Asahi Co ( (JP:3333) ) has shared an update.

Asahi Co., Ltd. reported preliminary February 2026 figures showing all-store net sales up 1.6% year on year and existing-store net sales up 0.3%, with both segments benefiting from higher sales per customer despite softer customer traffic. Cumulatively for the fiscal year through February 20, all-store net sales were down 0.2% and existing-store net sales down 1.9%, underscoring a challenging demand environment even as spending per visit remained above the prior year.

The company continued to adjust its store network, opening four outlets in the Tokyo, Aichi, and Hyogo areas while closing one store in Chiba, bringing its total footprint to 557 locations, including 539 directly operated stores. This measured expansion, alongside stable to slightly improving sales productivity, suggests Asahi is pursuing selective growth and network optimization to support its competitive position in Japan’s retail market.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:3333) stock is a Buy with a Yen1468.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Asahi Co stock, see the JP:3333 Stock Forecast page.
