Watahan February Sales Hit by Warm Winter and Store Renovations

The latest update is out from Watahan & Co., Ltd. ( (JP:3199) ).

Watahan & Co., Ltd., a Japanese retailer operating both brick-and-mortar and e-commerce channels, reported monthly performance trends for its retail business for the fiscal year ending March 2026, including comparative data versus the previous year. The company clarified that the figures combine preliminary store and online sales and that existing-store data covers locations operating for 13 months or more, excluding any outlets closed during the period.

In February 2026, overall sales, customer numbers, and average spending fell below year-ago levels despite strong demand for prepared foods and gardening supplies supported by aggressive promotions. Management attributed the weaker performance primarily to sluggish sales of seasonal products such as kerosene amid an unusually warm winter and to traffic and sales disruption caused by large-scale renovations at several major stores beginning in mid-January, factors that may temporarily weigh on near-term revenue while positioning key locations for future competitiveness.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:3199) stock is a Hold with a Yen1444.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Watahan & Co., Ltd. stock, see the JP:3199 Stock Forecast page.
