TOKYO -- Despite Seven & i Holdings' announcement of shareholder-friendly measures, including a 2 trillion yen ($13.5 billion) share buyback, the market cooled as investors see these as "lacking immediate impact," analysts have said.

Seven & i's shares fell on Friday to 2,048 yen ($13.9) at one point, down 3.4% from the previous day, and closed at 2,092 yen, down 1.3%.
