Price Target:
¥2,395.00
▲(18.83% Upside)
The score is primarily held back by middling financial performance (revenue decline, thin margins, and elevated leverage) and a mixed earnings-call picture with profit declines and sizable special losses. Offsetting these, technicals are supportive with the stock trading above key moving averages and positive MACD, while valuation/dividend are moderate but not especially compelling.
Positive Factors
Strong free cash flow generation
Consistent, large FCF provides durable internal funding for capex, restructuring and shareholder returns. Strong cash conversion eases reliance on external financing over the medium term and supports strategic investments despite cyclical retail demand swings.
High-margin proprietary products
Proprietary fresh-food and beverage lines deliver materially higher margins and drive customer frequency. Owning product development and supply chain boosts differentiation, supports sustained margin uplift and ROIC improvement versus reliance on third-party SKUs.
International expansion diversifies revenue
Growing international operations (Australia, Vietnam, broader 7‑Eleven expansion) reduce dependence on domestic retail cycles. Geographic diversification can steady sales and provide higher-growth markets, supporting long-term profit targets and strategic scale benefits.
Negative Factors
Elevated leverage limits flexibility
A debt-heavy capital structure constrains maneuverability for M&A, capex or dividend increases and raises interest-cost sensitivity if rates rise. With thin retail margins, higher leverage reduces resilience to shocks and limits strategic optionality over the medium term.
Revenue decline and thin margins
Sustained top-line weakness combined with low operating and net margins makes profitability highly sensitive to cost inflation and volume swings. Limited margin buffer restricts reinvestment capacity and slows ROIC improvement, challenging durable earnings growth.
Large special losses and North America headwinds
Material one-off impairments and restructuring charges signal asset writedowns and operational reset costs that erode capital and earnings. Combined with U.S. market disruptions and profitability pressure, these issues can sap management focus and delay structural profit recovery.

Q3-2025 Updates
Positive Updates
Revenue Growth in 7-Eleven International
Revenues from operations significantly increased compared to fiscal 2023, largely driven by the inclusion of Australia in consolidation. Despite a one-time expense, operating income would have increased without it.

Initiatives to improve customer numbers and same-store sales are showing results, with a notable increase in customer numbers. The 'pleasant value' products strategy has been particularly effective.
7-Eleven's Proprietary Products Drive Margin
Proprietary products, including fresh foods and beverages, are driving improvements in sales and customer traffic, with a 40.5% margin, outperforming the overall system margin of 33.3%.
7NOW Delivery Growth

Negative Updates
Operating Income Decline
Operating income was JPY 315.4 billion, a decrease of 76.9% year-on-year, showing a challenging environment, particularly in the U.S., affecting income.
Special Losses Impact
A significant amount of special losses, JPY 133.4 billion out of JPY 178.9 billion for 9 months, was recorded due to impairment losses and restructuring activities.
Challenges in North American Market
7-Eleven's Q3 results were below expectations due to inflationary pressures and disruptions like the CrowdStrike outage affecting sales systems.
Superstore Operations Struggle
Cumulative EBITDA for superstore operations fell short of the target due to rising costs and a slump in demand for clothing.
Company Guidance
During the Q3 2025 earnings call for Seven & i Holdings, extensive guidance was provided on various metrics and strategic initiatives. The company reported consolidated revenues from operations at JPY 9,069.5 billion, reflecting a 105.7% year-on-year increase but slightly missing the revised plan at 99.7%. Operating income was at JPY 315.4 billion, representing 76.9% year-on-year, a decrease of JPY 94.6 billion from the previous term, yet slightly above the revised plan at 102.3%. Net profit stood at JPY 63.6 billion, which is 34.9% of the previous term or a decline of JPY 118.5 billion, though it met 101% of the revised plan. The company is undergoing a strategic restructuring, aiming to complete these initiatives within the fiscal year to foster profit growth from 2025 onwards. Special losses recorded, including JPY 56.7 billion due to system integration and store closures, are expected to total JPY 149.6 billion for the full year. Additionally, Seven & i Holdings is focused on maximizing corporate value with an EBITDA target of over JPY 55 billion and a ROIC of more than 4% for fiscal 2025. In North America, 7-Eleven, Inc. is focusing on proprietary products with a margin of 40.5% and projected same-store sales of 1.5% for 2025. The global strategy includes expansion in Australia and Vietnam, aiming to double profit by 2030.

Seven & I Holdings Co Financial Statement Overview

Summary
Stable but not strong: TTM revenue declined (-5.4%) and margins remain thin (TTM net ~1.7%, EBIT ~3.1%), though margins improved versus the last annual period. Cash generation is solid (TTM FCF ~¥516B; +26% growth), but leverage is elevated (TTM debt-to-equity ~1.07), which limits flexibility.
Income Statement
58
Neutral
TTM (Trailing-Twelve-Months) revenue declined (-5.4%), pointing to a softer top-line backdrop versus the prior annual growth rates. Profitability remains positive but thin for the sector profile, with TTM net margin at ~1.7% and EBIT margin at ~3.1%. Margins improved versus the most recent annual period (net margin ~1.4% in FY2025), but earnings are still sensitive to small changes in costs and pricing.
Balance Sheet
54
Neutral
Leverage is elevated with debt slightly above equity (TTM debt-to-equity ~1.07; similar levels in recent years), which limits balance-sheet flexibility. Return on equity is moderate in TTM (~8.3%), improving versus the most recent annual period (~4.3%), but the capital structure remains debt-heavy. Overall asset base is substantial, but the leverage profile is a key constraint.
Cash Flow
62
Positive
Cash generation is solid, with TTM free cash flow of ~¥516B and strong TTM free cash flow growth (+26%). However, cash conversion is a watch item: free cash flow is only ~54% of net income in TTM, suggesting working-capital or reinvestment demands consume a meaningful share of earnings. Operating cash flow is steady year-to-year, supporting ongoing funding needs despite some variability in free cash flow growth across periods.
