NITORI HOLDINGS CO. LTD.

Nitori shares rose 7.7% to ¥3,253 after the home furnishings retailer reported like-for-like sales growth of 4.4% for August. The data point to robust demand despite a general cooling in consumer spending in Japan. The announcement builds on an already positive first-quarter earnings report and caused Nitori to outperform the Nikkei 225. » Más en de.investing.com

Nitori shares climbed 9.3% to ¥3,087 after the company reported earnings per share of ¥45.58 for the first quarter of fiscal 2027, beating consensus estimates by 3.5%. Revenue, however, fell 2.3% to ¥226.3 billion, missing analysts’ expectations and reflecting weak consumer demand in Japan. Nitori maintained a profit margin of around 11% year‑on‑year, indicating stable cost control and operational efficiency, and a recovery in the Japanese stock market accelerated the price move. » Más en de.investing.com
