Aeon Co Ltd (8267) Earnings Decline: 4Q Net Income Falls 26% to 24.0M Ringgit Despite Revenue Growth

Aeon Co Ltd on Smartkarma

Analyst coverage of Aeon Co Ltd on Smartkarma by Michael Causton discusses the company’s recent performance in a report titled “Aeon (8267JP): Sales Up, Profit Down.” Post-Covid, Aeon has seen significant growth in sales, but is facing challenges in maintaining profitability and addressing overhead costs to compete with Seven & I. While the company has shown real profit growth since the pandemic, its performance in the first half of 2024 indicates the need for further improvement. Despite not facing a takeover bid like its rival, Seven & I, Aeon still lacks a profit machine akin to Seven Eleven Japan, with opportunities for growth through products like Welcia and expanding e-commerce, along with potential for cost-cutting measures.
