Seven & i Holdings Co., Ltd. Raises FY2027 Earnings Forecast on Strong Overseas Operations

Seven & i Holdings Co., Ltd. (TSE:3382) has revised upward its consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending February 2027, citing stronger-than-expected performance in overseas convenience store operations and favorable currency movements.

For the full fiscal year, the company raised revenue guidance to JPY 10,430.0bn from JPY 9,448.0bn, while net profit attributable to parent company shareholders was lifted to JPY 278.0bn from JPY 270.0bn. The interim period saw more substantial upgrades, with operating profit climbing 23.2% and ordinary income (keijo rieki)—a Japan-specific metric combining operating profit with non-operating items—surging 29.2%.

Management attributed the revision primarily to outperformance in 7-Eleven, Inc.’s gasoline business, where fuel revenues exceeded expectations amid market volatility. Additionally, the yen weakened more than anticipated during the first quarter, with the company adjusting its assumed exchange rate to 158.00 yen per dollar for the interim period and 157.00 yen for the full year, compared to the prior 150.00 yen assumption. These tailwinds, combined with first-quarter actual results, prompted the comprehensive upward revision across all profit metrics.

The upgrade signals resilience in Seven & i’s overseas operations despite macroeconomic headwinds, with the interim period’s 34.1% net profit increase particularly notable. Investors should monitor whether the company can sustain this momentum through the second half of the fiscal year.
