TOKYO, May 14 (Pulse News Wire) – Netstars CO.,LTD. (5590.T) reported strong growth in gross payment volume (GPV) during its fiscal first quarter ending March 2026, achieving a record high GPV of 4,674.
Revenue grew by 26.6% compared to the same period last year but fell slightly short of expectations due to rising costs. Operating profit reached ¥116 million and net profit turned positive at ¥161 million, marking a significant improvement from previous quarters. The company's decision-related sales continued to contribute positively, driven by terminal sales. However, new store acquisitions were impacted by higher prices, leading to a slight shortfall against plans.
Despite this, management remains optimistic about future trends and expects robust performance moving forward. For the full fiscal year ending December 2026, NETSTARS forecasts a substantial increase in GPV and revenue, aiming for a rise in operating profit by ¥210 million and net profit by ¥260 million. The company also anticipates increased interest income due to higher rates, contributing further to profitability. Cost efficiency improvements and strategic investments in key areas such as StarPay system enhancements and DX solutions are expected to drive sustained growth and profitability.
The firm maintains a focus on expanding its customer base while managing expenses effectively to ensure long-term value creation.
