阪急阪神ホールディングス marks the 20th anniversary of its founding, with real estate expansion and operating profit reaching 1.5 times the initial level as integration benefits. The Tigers’ championship race has also attracted attention.
阪急阪神ホールディングス faced criticism 20 years ago that the benefits of its integration were difficult to see, but the real estate business has since grown and operating profit has expanded. The article focuses on post-integration results and the tangible effects of the combination. It also highlights developments aimed at improving corporate value alongside the Tigers’ popularity.
Real estate has been strengthened through redevelopment, including the integrated rebuilding of the Hanshin Department Store Umeda Main Store building and the adjacent former Shin-Hankyu Building. The contribution of the real estate segment to earnings is emphasized, and profit levels have risen compared with the time of the integration.
In specific figures, operating profit is said to have expanded to 1.5 times its initial level at the time of the integration. The article also notes that further business integration initiatives are under way.
Following the controversy over the accumulation of Hanshin shares, some described the situation as a celebratory market rally. Attention to the effects of the integration continues as the Tigers enter the decisive stage of the championship race.
