TOKYO -- FamilyMart Uny Holdings shares have climbed to a record high on expectations that profit will grow as a 2016 merger finally begins to bear fruit.
The stock climbed to 8,330 yen at one point Thursday, surpassing the previous all-time high marked in August 2016 -- right before FamilyMart and Uny Group Holdings merged to create Japan's No. 2 convenience store chain.
