The price increases for cigarettes in Overseas markets such as the Philippines, Russia, and the UK contributed to the revenue growth, as well as the acquisition of the U.S. Vector Group Ltd, which specializes in rolled tobacco, in October last year. For the fiscal year ending December 2025, revenue is projected to increase by 3.9% from the previous period to 3 trillion 273 billion yen, operating profit.
Expectations for the US-China agreement also lead to a cautious approach to active buying and selling.
The Nikkei average fell for the first time in eight trading days. It closed at 36,779.66 yen, a decrease of 51.03 yen, with an estimated Volume of 2.1 billion 50 million shares. Buying started strongly driven by expectations for US-China trade negotiations and momentarily rose to 36,942.38 yen right after the market opened. However, ahead of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) results, active trading was restrained, and afterward, there was continued stagnation around last week's closing price. In the Main Board, the number of rising stocks exceeded 1,000, overall.
