Asahi Net Cuts Full-Year Profit Outlook on Higher Costs and Corporate Customer Losses

Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

ASAHI Net, Inc. ( (JP:3834) ) has provided an announcement.

Asahi Net, Inc. has revised its full-year earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, trimming projected net sales from 13.5 billion yen to 13.4 billion yen and cutting expected profit figures by roughly 26%. The downgrade includes lowering forecast profit to 1.217 billion yen, reducing anticipated basic earnings per share to 46.74 yen, well below both the previous forecast and the prior year’s actual performance.

The company attributed the weaker outlook to an expected temporary rise in corporate customer withdrawals through March 2026, offsetting gains from a 19,000-ID year-on-year increase in FTTH subscriptions as of December 2025. Higher-than-planned capital expenditures have pushed up depreciation and other costs of sales, while stronger-than-expected FTTH acquisition efforts have driven advertising and other selling, general and administrative expenses above earlier assumptions, squeezing margins despite subscriber growth.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:3834) stock is a Buy with a Yen840.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on ASAHI Net, Inc. stock, see the JP:3834 Stock Forecast page.
