Rakuten (Reduce, ¥400, -58%) Q3 24 Quick Take: Mobile traction fading but a very good price for Rakuten Card
Rakuten reported mixed results as revenue and EBIT were slightly ahead of expectations, but net profit recorded a large miss. The company has redefined Mobile EBITDA to include ecosystem benefits which seems disingenuous to us when it is apparent it is unable to achieve breakeven within by the end of this year.Rakuten is mainly engaged in the Internet-related business. Along with its affiliates, Co. operates in two business segments. The Internet Services segment is engaged in the operation of electronic commerce sites, including an Internet shopping mall "Rakuten Ichiba," an online cash back site, a travel booking site, portal sites and digital contents sites; the sale of advertising on Co.'s sites; the provision of messaging and communication services; and the management of a professional baseball team "Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles." FinTech segment is engaged in the provision of Internet banking services and online securities trading services, and the credit card and life insurance businesses.
