Fanfei News Agency, April 19, data show that as of April 18, 28 department store retail-related listed companies have disclosed their 2022 annual reports. According to the survey, only 4 of the 28 companies achieved positive revenue growth last year; 9 companies achieved positive net profit growth last year. According to the relevant annual reports, the small number of stores, the weakening of consumer demand and the reduction of policy subsidies are the main reasons for the decline in performance by listed department store retail companies. The weak performance of the department store retail industry last year is not surprising, but combing the annual report is not difficult to see that even in the context of the overall poor business environment, the performance of the relevant listed companies still shows a significant differentiation. According to the annual report, seeking digital transformation has become the consensus of the development of department store retail industry. (Securities Daily)
