The company is exploring the sale of part of its stake in Seven Bank, people with knowledge of the matter said.
Earnings from Japan’s Fast Retailing and Seven & i Holdings should show how retailers are chasing growth overseas to make up for a lagging local consumer sector.
7-Eleven operator Seven & i’s operating income may disappoint on weak consumer sentiment. The report will be overshadowed by the US$38.7 billion ($50.19 billion) takeover approach by Alimentation Couche-Tard, which may spark a restructuring of Seven & i’s businesses, including listing of subsidiaries or asset sales.
