TOKYO, May 15 (Pulse News Wire) – Japan Asia Investment Company,limited (8518.T) reported a lower net profit of ¥2.117 billion for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, compared to a profit of ¥3.092 billion in the previous year. Operating revenue decreased by 31.5%, while operating income turned into a loss of ¥412 million from a profit of ¥105 million last year.
