Valor Holdings Reports Mixed February Results With Strong Supermarkets and Weak Home Centers

An update from Valor Holdings Co., Ltd. ( (JP:9956) ) is now available.

Valor Holdings has reported preliminary monthly business results for February in its fiscal year ending March 2026, covering supermarkets, pharmacies and home improvement stores across its 1,527-outlet network. The figures are year-on-year growth rates based on pre–revenue-recognition-standard data and focus on existing stores that have been operating for at least 14 months, with home centers defined under Alenza Holdings’ criteria.

Supermarkets continued to post solid existing-store growth in February, supported by gains in both customer numbers and average spending per customer, sustaining earlier double-digit advances in total sales over the fiscal year. Pharmacies showed modest sales growth driven mainly by higher unit prices despite declining customer traffic, while home improvement stores struggled with falling customer numbers and negative to flat sales trends, pointing to mixed performance across Valor’s retail portfolio.

The group opened six stores in February, including one supermarket, one pharmacy, two pet shops and two other outlets, while reporting no closures for the month. This selective expansion, combined with strong supermarket momentum and weaker home center trends, suggests Valor is leaning on food and daily goods formats to underpin growth as it fine-tunes its overall store network and format mix.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:9956) stock is a Buy with a Yen3981.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Valor Holdings Co., Ltd. stock, see the JP:9956 Stock Forecast page.
