On August 26th, AEON (00984.HK) released its interim results for six months as of June 30th, 2022, and achieved revenue of HK$ 5.049 billion in the first half of this year, up by 5.03% year-on-year.

The performance loss decreased to HK$ 85.6 million.

Bai Wenxi, chief economist of IPG, said in an interview with the reporter of China Times that AEON was caught in the storm of closing stores and its poor performance was mainly due to the aging and homogenization of business formats, the impact of e-commerce and other business formats, the impact of epidemic situation and weak consumption growth.

For AEON's poor performance, Luo Jianhua, an AI operation expert of Shanghai Hualong Information Technology Co., Ltd., analyzed three reasons when interviewed by the reporter of China Times. "First of all, in the current environment, the overall consumption power is sluggish and consumption is polarized; At the same time, the COVID-19 epidemic has further cultivated the habit of e-commerce shopping; In addition, capital accelerates the gradual improvement of the new retail ecosystem. "
