Ticker

I am still a bull on Fast Retailing, after it registered another beat and raise. FRCOY delivered a 22% YoY topline increase and 46% YoY operating profit growth in 3QFY26, with both metrics beating consensus estimates. Management raised FY2026 operating profit guidance by 4.3% to ¥730B implying a 29% growth, driven by price hikes, concept store expansion, and logistics optimization.

Fast Retailing reported sharply higher quarterly profit on stronger sales across various regions.

The Japanese owner of clothing brand Uniqlo said on Thursday that quarterly profit rose 45.7%, as it weathered ​the impact on supply chains and logistics from the Iran war ‌on its way to an expected fifth straight year of record earnings.
