Rakuten lifts revenue and core profits in 2025 but net loss deepens

Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

Rakuten ( (JP:4755) ) just unveiled an update.

Rakuten reported consolidated revenue of ¥2.50 trillion for fiscal 2025, up 9.5% year-on-year, with all major segments – Internet Services, FinTech and Mobile – posting higher sales and stronger underlying profitability. Despite this top-line growth and a sharp rise in Non-GAAP operating income, the company’s net loss attributable to shareholders widened to ¥177.89 billion, reflecting financial expenses, losses from affiliates and higher tax costs.

Internet Services profits rose even after valuation losses on minority stakes, supported by steady gains at Rakuten Ichiba, Rakuten Travel and overseas operations. FinTech delivered significant profit growth, buoyed by higher interest income at Rakuten Bank after the Bank of Japan’s rate hike and record earnings at Rakuten Securities on expanding customer numbers and favorable markets.

In the Mobile segment, increased subscribers and higher data ARPU reduced losses and produced the first full-year positive EBITDA since Rakuten entered the carrier business, underscoring improving economics in a once-heavily loss-making unit. However, IFRS operating profit fell 72.9% to ¥14.38 billion due mainly to the absence of a large one-off remeasurement gain booked in 2024, though management highlighted that, excluding this factor, core profitability and the group’s ability to generate stable profits have strengthened.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:4755) stock is a Buy with a Yen1110.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Rakuten stock, see the JP:4755 Stock Forecast page.
