Daiso Malaysia Is Now Online So You Can Shop At Your Convenience

BY Justin ON JULY 17, 2020
Officially embraced the trend of online shopping by jumping onboard e-commerce platforms.
The Japanese franchise announced its online store in Shopee late last month. This allows you to shop from the comfort of your own home without having to drive out.
Just like Daiso stores in Malaysia, many of its products are priced at RM5.90. Although the online store may not have every product from its physical store, there is still a wide variety of items sold on Shopee.
The categories available are housewares, toys, mobile accessories, kitchen and dining tools, beauty items, groceries and pets, as well as stationery – just to name a few. In light of the Covid-19 outbreak, shopping online without the need to queue is certainly a bonus.
Department store and supermarket operator AEON Co (M) Bhd, however, is still rated a “buy”, favoured by five out of eight analysts who cover the stock, Bloomberg data shows.
RHB Research likes the fact that AEON is transforming its shopping malls to adapt to changing consumer demand. In a Nov 29 note, it pointed out that AEON’s valuations are undemanding in view of its growth potential and status as the largest shariah-compliant mall operator in Malaysia.
In a recent interview with The Edge, AEON executive director Poh Ying Loo acknowledges the tough retail climate amid waning consumer sentiment not just in Malaysia but also globally.
“Consumer sentiment has been affected by factors such as the higher cost of living, which impacts purchasing power. However, for us, this is not something surprising as AEON has been in Malaysia over the past 30 years, and we have gone through a few downturns, such as during the 1985 [recession], the 1997/98 Asian financial crisis and the 2009 global financial crisis.
“We have also experienced the tough times the retail sector has gone through, where we have seen some of our competitors consolidating while others have shut down their operations,” he says.
Currently, AEON operates 35 outlets, 28 malls, 74 Wellness pharmacies, 42 Daiso stores and six MaxValu Prime supermarkets.
Around half of AEON’s revenue is derived from its supermarkets, while its department stores and other concept stores make up the rest.
“This year, we are looking to open at least two more MaxValu stores. As for major openings [of outlets and malls], that would probably take place in 2021. We may also look at closing one or two smaller format stores this year but this would not impact our operations.
“We will also continue to refurbish some of our selected stores and malls. Some of these stores and malls are due for an upgrade and refurbishment as they age. We have in recent times refurbished our stores in Queensbay, Tebrau City, Bandar Utama and Taman Maluri, and you can see that whenever we make changes [to our stores], they attract more customers.
“We also have the competitive advantage in the sense that we manage and operate the malls, so we are able to leverage the synergies of the core businesses that we have,” Poh says.
He believes the department store model is still relevant but that technology and social media are needed to create a certain perception of the store and business so that they appeal to the younger generation.
“Department stores can still be relevant in the current environment, but they have to be tweaked to match the current consumer lifestyle.
“Of course, this has to be backed by the correct assortment of merchandise that will be more suitable for the younger generation. There is always the need to refurbish, upgrade and change the layout of our stores, otherwise they look tired. No matter how loyal a customer is, if there are no changes or enhancements made, we will not see an increase in footfall,” he says.
In its efforts to penetrate the e-commerce space, AEON Malaysia has a partnership with online grocery delivery company HappyFresh as well as popular e-commerce platform Shopee.
As for the adoption of the new standard on leases under MFRS 16, Poh says it does have an impact on the company as almost half of its outlets are on lease. “The impact will normalise after a certain number of years as it is more profound during the initial part of the lease.”
On Jan 1, the group appointed Shafie Shamsuddin as its new managing director, replacing Shinobu Washizawa. Shafie had worked with French retailer Carrefour Group for over 16 years and was the managing director of Carrefour Singapore, Carrefour Malaysia and Carrefour Indonesia between 2005 and 2011 before he was appointed executive director of global talent management and organisational development at Carrefour Group.
Prior to joining AEON, he was CEO and president of the board of directors of PT Trans Retail Indonesia.

Only trading play may push up as fundamentals = 0 as it does not have any competitive edge under the current competition environment. Huge loans is another obstacle. Used to walk in nearby aeon less than 2km once a month, now =0. 99 Dekat Lagi Murah slogan positioning well. Trading play at best.
Some insiders knew that EPF's Milo tin is going to be emptied soon, so they sell all out before the wave hitting the shore. Please don't panic! the market will eventually recovered after 2025. You can, of course, choose to be the frog in heating water. Enjoy watch the price dropping day by day.
Aeon because they have cold storage, 99 speedmart buy only a loaf of bread or box of cigarette. In terms of shipping experience/ product selection, Aeon is still better than Giant and Tesco.
This coming QR report is sure gonna be one of the worst QR report, the only thing that matter is has the coming expected worst QR report has been price in.
No idea why u say Aeon is better than Giant or Tesco. Have u seen the crowd at Giant and Tesco? LOL. What about village grocer, jaya grocer...
Fact is this business margin very thin. But aeon cant compete because they tend to lean towards Japanese suppliers and Japanese management with fat margin.
Need to pay for their driver, their expenses, their entertainment expenses, and their rent. They don't stay some middle class flats ok. Go look at KL Hampshire/Panorama and bangsar/ sri hartamas. Their rent are minimum 5k and above. Not to mention have to pay for their kid's international school fees. Insurance, medical expenses etc...

KUALA LUMPUR (July 25): Local malls are seeing a rise in activity again, with some experiencing a recovery in “footfall” a month into the Recovery MCO (RMCO), reported The Edge Malaysia.
Certainly, recovery and sentiments have improved,” he added.
There also seems to be good news on the tenant occupancy segment, with Chan saying they have been “largely unaffected, remaining at between 92% and 98%”.

As for the retail sector, the retail sales trend is expected to gradually improve moving forward with further easing of restrictions during the current recovery phase of MCO. Shopping malls and retailers are also expected to embrace technological innovations, with a focus on less contact with surfaces and among people.
“We expect to see more creative ideas and trends that embrace technological innovations in the retail industry. The short-term outlook for the sector remains cloudy but there are windows of opportunity in the mid to longer term with the right data, key insights and value,” said the report.
In the meantime, the booming e-commerce business appears to be a silver lining in the current crisis, accelerating the sales of consumer goods through online channels, it said.
“Amid social distancing measures and reduced presence in physical stores, consumers have shifted to online platforms, pushing retailers to adopt e-commerce and increase their online presence.”
We hosted a virtual meeting with Aeon Co’s management recently, attended by over 20 local institutional investors.
Key takeaways: For July month-to-date: (i) retailing saw strong recovery since RMCO, overall sales trended higher yoy; and (ii) rental income has gradually recovered since April, now near 85% of pre-Covid level.
Given a likely strong pent-up recovery in 2021 (assuming no major second Covid-19 outbreak), we upgrade Aeon to BUY (from Hold) albeit with a slightly lower 12-month TP of RM1.00, based on 15.5x 2021 EPS.
Retail segment staging strong recovery since RMCO
For the retailing segment, management indicated that overall sales are staging a strong recovery since the RMCO, notching up yoy growth in July month-to-date (MTD) – largely led by the softline and foodline segments. Geographically, retail businesses in the group’s Northern and Central regions saw encouraging growth yoy whilst the Southern region is still lagging slightly behind in terms of recovery.
Rental rebates likely to gradually dissipate in 2H20
Aeon granted rental rebates to deserving tenants in non-essential businesses (c.70% of total tenants) over the lockdown period. Following a trough in April’s rental income, we gather that collection has recovered MoM and reached c.85% of the pre-Covid rental income of c.RM58m/month. Barring a recurrence of the MCO, rental relief, if any, will likely be minimal and on a case-to-case basis in 2H20.
aeon is building own delivery team, good news, sentiment driven now, esok melambung, bukan? :)
SHAH ALAM (Aug 6): The country's online food delivery service market is expected to grow 17.9 percent annually to reach revenue of US$370 million in four years, said Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Economy) Datuk Seri Mustapa Mohamed.
He said the growth projection was made in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic that had transformed the people's lifestyle to a new normal, with many activities now being conducted online, including food ordering.
Citing data from Statista Market Forecast (2020), he said Malaysia's online food delivery market was valued at US$192 million at present, comprising 6.2 million consumers.
"The biggest segment contributing to the growth of the industry is targeted to be restaurant-to-customer delivery, which accounts for US$137 million compared to US$55 million for platform-to-customer delivery segment.
“The food delivery industry, which is part of the gig economy, should be based on the digitalisation concept. It is at the top of the government's agenda in the medium to long-term economic recovery plan currently being drawn up by the Economic Planning Unit and the Economic Action Council,” he said in his speech for the AEON rider motorcycle handover ceremony here today.
The text of his speech was read by Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Economy) Arthur Joseph Kurup.
Mustapa said the medium to long-term economic recovery plan, to be announced by October, would look at the renewal of the job market, issue of quality investments and digital economy.
At today's function, AEON Malaysia, through the Malaysian AEON Foundation (MAF), donated 300 motorcycles for the AEON Rider Project to create employment for those who lost their jobs due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
AEON Retail Malaysia chief executive officer Shafie Shamsuddin said the company launched the initiative to help individuals affected by the pandemic, and even provided the motorcycles for the riders.
Anyone interested to become part of the AEON Rider family could apply from now, he said.
The AEON Rider Project offers a gross salary of RM1,200 plus delivery charges for a contract duration of one year, and riders who perform their jobs well will get to keep the motorcycles for free and become permanent AEON Malaysia employees.

AEON Co (M) Bhd's RM142 million court case levied by Mega Continental Sdn Bhd has been set aside. The Alor Setar High Court has set aside the judgement in default of RM142 million against AEON, with judgement in relation to its alleged failure to perform an obligation under a lease agreement with Mega Continental in Alor Setar. The company has instructed its legal representation to file an application to strike out the suit filed by Mega Continental. It will be undertaking legal actions against Mega Continental for the loss of income, reputation and unnecessary inconvenience caused to its customers, people and partners.
Japan's AEON Co Ltd owns 51% of Bursa-listed AEON Co and 95.49% of AEON BiG. The remaining 4.51% in AEON BiG is held by AEON South East Asia Sdn Bhd.Jun 23, 2020
Aeon Co chief executive officer for Asean Nagahisa Oyama said yesterday: ‘I will be sending a message to all employees of Carrefour Malaysia which expresses our intention to retain all of them.’
KUALA LUMPUR: In a move that surprised market watchers, Japan's largest retailer Aeon Co Ltd will swallow Carrefour's Malaysian operations on its own without the involvement of its locally-listed entities Aeon Co (M) Bhd (Aeon Malaysia) and AEON Credit Service (M) Bhd.
The deal thus has no financial impact on Aeon Co's Malaysian subsidiaries as they will be run separately from the newly-acquired Carrefour Malaysia, said Aeon Co chief executive officer for Asean Nagahisa Oyama, but it is expected to produce synergies in aspects such as information technology (IT), distribution network and product development.
