Rakuten: Worry Less About Credit Risks And Mobile Division Losses
My Buy rating for Rakuten Group is unchanged, as I think that investors' major concerns about the stock have eased. RKUNF's credit health is expected to improve for the future; the company has targeted to reduce its net leverage metric by half within the next 2 years. RKUNY's wireless unit is anticipated to become EBITDA-positive in FY25 on the back of subscriber growth and ARPU expansion.

Rakuten: Q3 Marks A Profitability Inflection Point
Rakuten achieved positive quarterly operating profit for the first time in 17 quarters, with an operating income of JPY 537 million for Q3 2024. RKUNY suffered from operating losses for four straight years running in the 2020-2023 time frame, and I expect a turnaround with expectations of positive operating profit for Rakuten in 2025. I stick to my existing Buy rating for Rakuten, as it has reached a profitability inflection point and is deserving of higher valuations.
