WORLD CO ( (JP:3612) ) just unveiled an update.
Domestic retail sales rose 2.8% year on year in January, buoyed by 9.5% growth in store revenue and strong demand for pastel spring apparel, heavy outerwear, and character-themed household goods, while e-commerce slipped 16% amid weaker promotional content and tighter discounting, despite an estimated 1.2% boost from an extra holiday. Management flagged that controlled procurement constrained winter inventory for discount events and that the exclusion of Laxus Technologies’ contribution following its IPO is pressuring online growth, prompting remediation efforts to restore digital traction and balance channel performance.
