S&P, Nasdaq futures higher; U.S. jobs report ahead - what’s moving markets
Investing.com -- Uniqlo Japan posted positive same-store sales in August 2025, overcoming a challenging year-over-year comparison. The retailer benefited from sustained high temperatures during the month, which drove strong sales of summer clothing.
Fast Retailing, Uniqlo’s parent company, maintained strategic inventory levels of summer apparel to meet consumer demand. Year-round product sales also performed well during the period.
While the average price per item increased compared to August 2024, the total number of items sold declined year-over-year.
The company continued to see robust sales from international tourists visiting Japan. Uniqlo’s LifeWear concept has gained global acceptance, attracting foreign visitors to the brand’s Japanese stores. The weak Japanese yen created favorable shopping conditions for tourists, making Uniqlo products more affordable for international customers.
