Valor Holdings Co., Ltd. ( (JP:9956) ) has issued an announcement.

Valor Holdings reported year-on-year growth rates for the fiscal year ended March 2026 across its main retail segments, showing solid gains in supermarkets and more modest improvement in pharmacies. Existing supermarket stores posted a 10.2% increase in total sales for the year, driven by a 5.2% rise in customer numbers and a 3.3% increase in average spending per customer, underscoring resilient consumer demand in grocery.

In contrast, the pharmacy segment recorded a 4.0% annual increase in total sales, largely supported by higher unit prices per customer, while customer numbers declined, highlighting a shift toward higher-value purchases rather than traffic growth. Home improvement stores saw a 3.4% decline in total sales, reflecting softer demand in that category, while the group continued to adjust its footprint, ending March 2026 with 1,534 stores after opening 12 and closing 5 outlets during the month.
