NTN Swings Back to Profit but Keeps Full-Year Net Loss Outlook

Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

The latest announcement is out from NTN ( (JP:6472) ).

NTN reported consolidated net sales of ¥603.3 billion for the nine months ended 31 December 2025, a 2.0% year-on-year decline, but significantly improved profitability with operating income up 35.8% to ¥19.3 billion, ordinary income more than doubling to ¥14.0 billion, and profit attributable to owners of parent swinging to ¥3.7 billion from a loss a year earlier. The company’s financial position also strengthened, with total assets rising to ¥887.6 billion, equity ratio improving to 31.2% from 27.2%, and comprehensive income turning positive, while it maintained its dividend policy at an annual ¥11 per share and kept its full-year forecast unchanged, projecting a modest decline in sales but higher operating and ordinary income, albeit still expecting a net loss for the full fiscal year due in part to share issuance and other factors.
