NETSTARS Swings to Profit and Projects Strong Growth for 2026

NETSTARS Co.,Ltd. ( (JP:5590) ) just unveiled an update.

NETSTARS reported strong growth for the year ended December 31, 2025, with net sales rising 22.7% to ¥4.79 billion and a return to profitability, posting ¥293 million in operating profit and ¥485 million in profit attributable to owners of the parent after a loss in the previous year. The company improved earnings per share to ¥28.99, maintained an equity ratio of 19.9% as total assets increased to ¥38.35 billion, and generated solid operating cash flow of ¥2.38 billion, while continuing its no-dividend policy.

For 2026, NETSTARS forecasts a further 20.3% increase in net sales to ¥5.76 billion and a 70.8% jump in operating profit to ¥500 million, with ordinary profit expected to climb nearly 60% and profit attributable to owners of the parent to edge up to ¥493 million.
