TOKYO, Feb 16 (Pulse News Wire) – Net Protections Holdings,inc. (7383.T) outlined its strategic partnerships with JCB and Sumitomo Mitsui Card during its Q&A session held on February 13, 2026.
CEO Shibata highlighted plans to deepen collaborations in the B2B sector while maintaining distinct roles in the B2C space. CFO Watanabe noted that the impact of these partnerships could significantly boost growth beyond fiscal year 28, March 2028. In the third quarter, the company reported operating profit of ¥29 billion, though CFO Watanabe emphasized that this figure does not represent a ceiling but rather a baseline.
He also addressed concerns over NP Afterpay's reduced gross profit margin, attributing it to changes in portfolio composition and ongoing growth in newer services like NP Afterpay Air. Regarding investor relations, CFO Watanabe acknowledged recent stock price declines due to misinterpretation of growth rate data and broader IT industry volatility. However, he remains confident in the long-term growth trajectory and expects share prices to stabilize once investors fully grasp the company’s strategic direction.
