Seven & i Holdings Co <3382> Shares Fall After Forecast Signals Earnings Decline, U.S. IPO Delay. Seven & i Holdings Co reported results for the fiscal year ended February 2026 and issued guidance for the year ending February 2027 after the close on the 9th. The company expects revenue of \9,448.0 billion, down 9.4% year on year, and net income of \270.0 billion, down 7.8%. The annual dividend is set at \60, up \10. Seven & i also said it will delay the IPO of its U.S. convenience store unit to fiscal 2027 at the earliest from the previously planned second half of fiscal 2026. The company maintained its shareholder return policy, including up to \2 trillion in buybacks through fiscal 2030 and a progressive dividend policy. Shares initially rose on the dividend increase but reversed course as the lack of a buyback announcement for the current fiscal year weighed on sentiment.

The IPO delay had already been partially reported in the previous session, pressuring the stock. For the fiscal year ended February 2026, revenue fell 12.9% to \10,430.3 billion, while net income jumped 69.2% to \292.8 billion. For fiscal 2027, Seven & i expects weaker performance in its overseas convenience store business. On an adjusted basis excluding the deconsolidation of York Holdings and Seven Bank, net income is seen rising 5.9%.
