Matsuya Posts Mixed February Sales as Ginza Gains Offset Asakusa Weakness

Matsuya Co., Ltd. ( (JP:8237) ) has provided an announcement.

Matsuya Co., Ltd. reported its monthly sales figures for February 2026, highlighting contrasting performances between its Ginza and Asakusa department stores. Overall Matsuya sales rose 2.7% year on year, supported by a 3.1% increase at the Ginza Store, while the Asakusa Store posted a 4.7% decline, indicating uneven recovery in customer traffic across locations.

The breakdown by merchandise category showed sharp declines in several apparel and general goods segments, with clothing-related categories and household goods under particular pressure, while some areas such as foods and services were relatively more resilient. These mixed results suggest that Matsuya faces ongoing challenges in revitalizing non-food retail spending and stabilizing traffic, especially at its Asakusa location, even as headline sales growth at Ginza provides some support to overall performance.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:8237) stock is a Hold with a Yen2028.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Matsuya Co., Ltd. stock, see the JP:8237 Stock Forecast page.
