Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

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

Asahi Net reported non-consolidated net sales of ¥13.52 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, a 3.4% increase year on year, while operating profit fell 23.6% to ¥1.79 billion and profit declined 26.2% to ¥1.29 billion, reflecting margin pressure despite modest revenue growth. The company maintained a strong financial position with an equity ratio above 90%, raised its annual dividend slightly to ¥25 per share with a higher payout ratio, and forecasts a return to modest profit growth in fiscal 2027 on 3.6% higher sales, signaling a stable yet low-growth outlook for shareholders.

Asahi Net’s cash and cash equivalents declined to ¥2.47 billion amid higher investing outflows, but net assets were broadly flat at about ¥13.1 billion. Management projects fiscal 2027 operating profit of ¥1.8 billion and earnings per share of ¥50.17, close to current levels, suggesting an emphasis on sustaining shareholder returns through steady dividends rather than aggressive expansion in a mature domestic internet services market.
