Department & General Merchandise Stores
20 companies across the library’s three pools, one row each. The columns are the line items this kind of business is read on; each header names its basis, and the margins and returns are medians over each company’s readable record — the through-cycle level, never one year’s print. Rows open largest first by latest-year revenue, and every column sorts both ways — the re-ordering is the reader’s own act, and a sorted view keeps its order in the address bar. The company stays in view as the columns scroll. A dash is a figure that could not be read; n/a is one that does not apply to that member; both sit at the back of a sorted column.

Every figure is recomputed from the company’s own SEC or EDINET filings, the same way as on its page; the columns name facts, weigh nothing, and form no rank. Foreign filers are stated in US dollars at the dated reference rate (as of 2026-07-17) so each money column sorts on one basis; their own pages keep the records as filed. A foreign filer whose conversion terms are missing shows its money as filed and sorts to the back of the column — never a guessed conversion. Ratios and margins are currency-free.
