Sundrug's first-half profit edges up 1.4%, roughly matching Japan's wider drugstore sector
Sundrug grew revenue 3.6% in the first half, almost exactly in line with the drugstore sector's own pace this summer -- a half spent keeping up with the market, not pulling away from it.
Sundrug Co. (サンドラッグ), one of Japan's largest drugstore operators, said first-half net profit rose 1.4% to ¥15.48 billion, with operating profit up 4.2% to ¥24.03 billion and revenue up 3.6% to ¥433.48 billion, in results covering April to September 2026 published November 13. The company kept its full-year forecast unchanged.
