Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

The latest announcement is out from SAKURA Internet Inc. ( (JP:3778) ).

SAKURA Internet reported a 12.4% rise in net sales to ¥35.3 billion for the year ended March 31, 2026, but swung to an operating loss of ¥403 million and saw profit attributable to owners of parent plunge 92.6% to ¥216 million. Profitability ratios deteriorated sharply, though total assets and shareholders’ equity were largely stable, with an equity ratio of 36.5% and net assets per share holding around the prior year.

Operating cash flow increased to ¥6.2 billion, but heavy investment outlays drove investing cash flow to a ¥24.6 billion outflow and reduced cash and equivalents to ¥15.4 billion from ¥29.5 billion. Despite weaker earnings, the company raised its annual dividend to ¥5.00 per share and forecasts strong growth in fiscal 2027, with net sales projected to climb 27.5% to ¥45.0 billion and profit attributable to owners of parent to recover to ¥850 million, implying a major rebound in earnings power if achieved.
