Seria Falls as Much as 6.5% on Slowing September Same-Store Sales Growth

Seria, a major 100-yen shop operator, plunged as much as 6.5% from the previous day to 4,180 yen at one point, sinking to its lowest level in about a month and a half, before closing down 200 yen at 4,270 yen. The sell-off was triggered by the company's preliminary September sales report released the previous day, which showed same-store sales rose 8.3% year on year, slowing from a 9.7% gain in August. Average spending per customer rose 2.2%, outpacing August's 1.7% increase, but customer traffic grew just 6.0%, below August's 7.9% gain. Total sales across all stores, including the contribution from new openings, rose 11.8%, continuing double-digit revenue growth. According to some analysts, sticker sales were roughly flat year on year, while daily necessities such as garbage bags and handicraft supplies remained strong. The stock had risen more than 40% year to date to a high of 4,905 yen set on September 15, and its decline from that peak has widened to about 15%.

Japanese firms step up currency hedging as yen stabilizes, intervention phases seen as opportunities

Japanese companies are strengthening their response to currency fluctuation risk as the yen stabilizes. Workman has raised the ratio of currency forward contracts for its purchasing plans from the previous 50 to 60 percent to 80 to 90 percent, and has already locked in about 85 percent of its contracts for the fiscal year ending March 2027 at around 148 yen to the dollar. According to Sho Hirayama of Daiwa Securities, companies are increasingly asking to fix exchange rates for five to ten years ahead, and when the dollar was in the 160 yen range, inquiries to prepare for further yen weakness increased. Among exporters, Yamato Nagahama of Bank of America points out that dollar-selling hedges may emerge to prepare for yen appreciation driven by intervention. Corporate responses are not limited to financial transactions: Honeys Holdings has built up currency forwards several years ahead, and Seria plans to curb cost increases by reviewing product specifications and packaging. As domestic interest rates rise, more companies are also converting floating-rate borrowings into fixed rates, and Noriko Iwasaki of Nomura Securities says the need for balance-sheet-wide risk management is growing.
