The latest announcement is out from KUSURI NO AOKI HOLDINGS CO.,LTD. ( (JP:3549) ).
Kusuri no Aoki Holdings reported that in March 2026, all-store sales rose 11.8% year on year, supported by a 9.1% increase in customer traffic and higher average spending per customer, while existing-store sales edged up 1.5%. This indicates that recent growth is being driven more by network expansion than by same-store momentum, though existing outlets are still posting modest gains in customer numbers and basket size.
The company continued an aggressive rollout of new locations between late February and March 2026, opening 11 drugstores and one dispensing pharmacy across multiple prefectures including Niigata, Chiba, Toyama, Tokushima, Fukui, Kochi, Tochigi and others. This pace of store openings underscores Kusuri no Aoki’s strategy to strengthen its footprint in regional markets, which should support top-line growth and reinforce its competitive position in Japan’s drugstore sector.
The most recent analyst rating on (JP:3549) stock is a Hold with a Yen4801.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on KUSURI NO AOKI HOLDINGS CO.,LTD. stock, see the JP:3549 Stock Forecast page.
