Kintetsu Department Store

Kintetsu Department Store — whose flagship occupies Abeno Harukas, Japan's tallest building — took revenue down 1.2% to ¥29.4bn in March–May 2026 while operating profit rose 79% to ¥1.93bn and ordinary profit 94% to ¥1.91bn. Net income of ¥1.33bn compares with a ¥604mn loss a year earlier, so no growth rate is meaningful. Earning nearly twice as much on slightly less trade is the shape of a cost base finally working; the company nonetheless cut its full-year revenue guidance to ¥116.0bn (−7.5%) while lifting the net-income line to ¥3.9bn.
