Seven & i stock (ISIN JP3422950000) was last at JPY 1,967.50 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on October 7, 2026, at 3:30 p.m. JST, with a daily change of minus 0.35 percent. According to Markets Insider on October 6, 2026, Nomura maintained a Hold rating and set a JPY 2,200.00 price target.

Nomura keeps the Hold view

The Nomura target lies 11.8 percent above the Tokyo price, giving the recommendation a measurable valuation gap ahead of the company's results. The same Markets Insider report put the broader consensus at Hold with an average price target of JPY 2,214.78.

The consensus target lies 12.6 percent above the October 7 price. That spread is the clearest market test for the results, because a Hold consensus leaves the target upside dependent on earnings execution rather than a broad rating shift.

Results bring the next test

MarketWatch reported on October 7, 2026, that Seven & i Holdings was scheduled to report second-quarter results on October 8, 2026. The Visible Alpha poll cited by MarketWatch projected net profit of JPY 61.3 billion for the three months ended August 31, 2026, down 16 percent from JPY 72.8 billion a year earlier, while revenue was expected to rise 2.1 percent to JPY 2.898 trillion.

The same preview said Seven & i had projected fiscal-year revenue of JPY 10.430 trillion and net profit of JPY 278.00 billion for the year ending February 2027. Management's annual forecast and the North American convenience-store business are therefore central checkpoints for the results.

Stock remains below yearly high

Seven & i's October 7 price stood 18.6 percent below its 52-week high of JPY 2,417.00 and JPY 156.50 above its 52-week low of JPY 1,811.00. The market capitalization was JPY 4,548.4 billion on the same date, while volume reached 7,360,300 shares.

The company describes its listed business as a global retail group centered on convenience stores, supermarkets and related financial operations. Its investor-relations page lists first-quarter fiscal 2026 materials and an IR Day scheduled for November 6, 2026, keeping strategy and capital allocation in view beyond the immediate earnings release.
