On October 2, 2020, KANSEKI CO.,LTD. announced that it will increase its dividend. Kanseki operates 21 outdoor stores in Japan, mainly in the Kanto area. The move appears to be in response to the company’s strong performance, with its earnings forecast up 36.7% on an operating profit basis compared to its forecast at the beginning of the year. In addition to outdoor stores, Kanseki operates a wide variety of other businesses, including home centers, used goods sales, and supermarkets, but its outdoor business, with its private brand “tent-Maku-DESIGNS,” is believed to be driving its results.
