Fast Retailing (ISIN JP3802300008) was trading at EUR 398.20 at Lang & Schwarz on September 30, 2026 at 12:04 p.m. CEST, up 3.08 percent versus the EUR 386.30 prior close. The immediate market backdrop is mixed: UNIQLO Japan reported weaker August demand, while the group's latest nine-month figures showed double-digit growth.
August sales reverse July gain
According to Fast Retailing on September 2, 2026, same-store sales including online sales fell 1.30 percent year over year in August, while total sales including online sales declined 2.20 percent. The company attributed the decline to lower temperatures and unfavorable weather that reduced demand for summer products.
The monthly setback followed a stronger July. Investing.com reported that same-store sales had risen 4.30 percent in July, while the year-to-August increase remained 5.10 percent. That contrast makes the September sales release a useful test of whether the August weakness was weather-driven or broader.
Profit growth sets the next test
A September 21 review reported that Fast Retailing's nine months to May 31, 2026, produced revenue of JPY 3.065 trillion, up 17.10 percent year over year, and operating profit of JPY 614.4 billion, up 36.20 percent. The figures cover fiscal 2026 and give the stock a stronger earnings foundation than the monthly sales decline alone suggests.
The same review cited fiscal 2026 revenue guidance of JPY 3.970 trillion, representing 16.70 percent growth. The company has scheduled its fiscal 2026 results announcement for October 8, 2026, according to its IR calendar.
