Rakuten wesentlich besser als Rocket

- und daher habe ich mir nach dem Einstieg bei Alibaba, die inzwischem mehr als 20% gut gemacht haben, auch einige Rakutens gekauft.

Look Out Amazon, Here Comes...Rakuten?
Japanese e-commerce firm Rakuten announced on Tuesday it is acquiring Ebates for $1 billion.

The acquisition, which Rakuten hinted at last week, is part of the Japanese company’s push to grow its base beyond its domestic market and hopefully, become a global player. Having made some $1.2 billion acquisitions to date along these lines, this is Rakuten’s most ambitious move to date.

However, investors are dubious that the company can absorb yet another foreign acquisition, much less one the size of Ebates, despite Rakuten’s strong cash position.
Then there is the ever-present Amazon, which dominates the e-commerce market in the U.S. Few believe it will falter in the face of Chinese giant Alibaba, much less a Rakuten-Ebates combo.

Rakuten Goes Forth

Not surprisingly, Rakuten says it is undaunted. For starters, it has assembled a very interesting mix of acquisitions. There is messaging app Viber, which it purchased for $900 million in February, the Canadian ebook offering Kobo, Spanish video service Wuaki.tv, Viki, a digital content platform and Buy.com.
Now it has picked up Ebates.

2) Extending Security into Ship Design via AI Automation

Unstructured data and legacy workflows in shipbuilding design have historically posed hidden cyber and operational risks.

With Lattice, Rakuten Maritime converts ship design data into standardized digital assets and uses AI to automate shipbuilding decision-making, minimizing operational risks and downtime. Lattice's YardGrid system structures and indexes the extensive technical documents and design data generated during ship construction. By systematically managing these technical documents, the system helps reduce design errors and improve overall project quality and efficiency.

Ryan Son, of Internet Services Business Unit at Rakuten Symphony and Head of Rakuten Maritime, commented, “These partnerships represent a major step toward transforming digital safety and operational efficiency in the maritime sector. With Cydome and Lattice, we can now address critical protection gaps for the entire vessel lifecycle, from design to operation, across all vessel types. This will accelerate Rakuten Maritime’s expansion into the global shipping market.”

Nir Ayalon, CEO of Cydome, commented, “Our partnership with Rakuten Maritime strengthens global maritime cybersecurity standards. By providing a fleet-wide cybersecurity digital backbone, Cydome extends a ‘secure-by-design’ framework across the entire vessel lifecycle, accommodating all existing and future needs. This collaboration is vital for the physical safety of crews and the digital resilience of the international supply chain, as well as compliance with new regulations being introduced in many regions.”

Sangwon Kang, CEO of Lattice, commented, “Bringing YardGrid’s document management innovation to the global maritime market through Rakuten Maritime is crucial. Structuring the extensive technical documents required in shipbuilding is essential for competitiveness and a prerequisite for meaningful AI transformation. We aim to expand YardGrid’s expertise worldwide.”

Rakuten Maritime's strengthened capabilities now provide end-to-end maritime cyber coverage to all vessel types, from the earliest design stages through its entire lifecycle, delivering unified cybersecurity solutions to support an efficient fleet on a global scale.

Rakuten Symphony raids Nokia territory with Celona private 5G deal

Duo team up on end-to-end open RAN solution

April 27, 2026

Rakuten Symphony and Celona teamed up on end-to-end open radio access network (RAN)-based private 5G solutions.

Aimed at large- and medium-sized enterprises, the collaboration pairs Rakuten Symphony’s cloud-native 5G open RAN infrastructure with Celona’s 5G local area network (LAN) enterprise platform. The offering is designed to support IoT-driven use cases and mission-critical applications for sectors including global logistics, manufacturing, agriculture, ports, and mining.

Rakuten added the solution will support multiple radio unit (RU) vendors and operate across multiple spectrum bands, helping with adaptability across regions and deployment environments.
Rakuten's private 5G heads into territory shared by the likes of Nokia and Ericsson.

As recently explored by this title, Ericsson sees private 5G as a strong market opportunity despite technical challenges, with the Swedish vendor making gains through recent work with Vodafone Portugal in deploying a private 5G network for cement and industrial materials producer Cimpor.

In a recent interview with SDxCentral, Faiq Khan, SVP for Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) for Rakuten Symphony, claimed, “the openness of RAN architecture is not a matter of choice; it's a matter of necessity and survival.” The exec pointed to the Rakuten cloud provision, as included in the Celona partnership, noting its end-to-end virtualized stack, correlating data, cross-domain use cases, and network orchestration.

Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) last week selected Rakuten’s Symphony’s open RAN to boost the deployment of open RAN technologies across the Global South.

As of April 2026, Rakuten Securities continues to experience massive growth in user assets, driven by the expansion of the new NISA system, with monthly investment trust reserve amounts for customers exceeding 300 billion yen. This milestone reflects the widespread adoption of installment investing for long-term asset building in Japan.

Growth Drivers: The surge is attributed to fee-free investment options and preferential treatment for using the Rakuten Ecosystem (Rakuten Card/Cash), encouraging users to shift to riskier products.

Strategic Context: This growth aligns with the broader financial strategy of the Rakuten Group to strengthen its Fintech sector (including Rakuten Bank and Rakuten Card) by 2026.

Customer Base: Rakuten Securities maintained its lead in Japan with high user engagement.

New Offerings: In March 2026, the company introduced the Rakuten Platinum Fund to broaden investment choices further.

Note: The 300 billion yen figure in this context represents monthly set amounts of investment trust reserves (installment funds) as of early-mid 2026, distinct from the 300 billion yen capital raising reported in May 2023.

Rakuten Securities Earnings Surge, Boosting Rakuten Group’s Financial Arm

Apr 28, 2026, 09:32 AM

Story Highlights

Rakuten Securities posted sharply higher quarterly and annual profits, with net income more than doubling year-on-year.

The strong J-GAAP results underscore Rakuten Securities’ growing role in Rakuten Group’s financial services and online brokerage strategy.

Rakuten Securities, a consolidated subsidiary of Rakuten Group, reported strong growth for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, with operating revenue rising to ¥50.3 billion and net income more than doubling to ¥7.8 billion from the prior-year period. The results, compiled under J-GAAP, highlight the expanding profitability of Rakuten’s securities business ahead of Rakuten Group’s upcoming consolidated earnings release, underscoring the segment’s increasing contribution to the group’s overall financial performance.

For the full year ended March 31, 2026, Rakuten Securities posted operating revenue of ¥173.6 billion and net income of ¥25.8 billion, both significantly higher than the previous fiscal year. This sustained improvement in earnings strengthens Rakuten’s position in Japan’s online brokerage market and signals growing operational scale in its financial services portfolio, although stakeholders should note that these subsidiary figures may not align directly with the group’s IFRS-based consolidated results.

Japan’s Digital Ad Market Is Still Growing Fast in 2026: What Foreign Brands Should Do Now

If you’re planning to enter (or scale) in Japan, here’s the headline that should change how you think about budgets:

Japan is no longer a “TV-first market that also does digital.” It’s officially a digital-first advertising market, and it’s still expanding.

In its official report Dentsu estimates Japan’s total advertising spend in 2025 reached ¥8.0623 trillion, and internet advertising accounted for 50.2% of total ad spend—the first time it crossed a majority threshold.

That alone would be a major structural shift. But the more important point for founders and growth teams is this:

Japan’s digital market is not “finished.” It’s still growing fast—especially in video and social—and platform changes in 2026 are expanding inventory and improving local ecosystem buying.

With Rakuten AI’s new end-to-end booking feature, users can chat with the AI agent about their specific preferences for travel dates and amenities then choose the best accommodation and stay package from AI recommendations, before verifying all requirements are met and easily finalizing their reservation. Rakuten members logged in to their Rakuten ID can check rates with their available coupons and discounts applied, as well as see how many Rakuten Points they will earn, all while enjoying a seamless and efficient booking experience without needing to enter personal information like name, contact information and credit card details.

Based on the user’s booking history, the AI agent can also respond to requests such as, “I want to book my usual accommodation for next weekend.” The AI agent can recommend available stay packages from the user’s previously booked accommodations, enabling seamless repeat bookings. Even if the same stay package or room is unavailable, the AI agent will suggest alternative options with a similar price range and room type. Going forward, Rakuten Travel plans to further enhance the level of personalization provided by Rakuten AI by offering recommendations tailored to individual user's preferences and usage activity, based on their accommodation facility search and booking history.

The number of bookings on Rakuten Travel made through Rakuten AI has been growing steadily since the agentic service was officially launched last year. In light of this trend, Rakuten Travel released the new end-to-end booking feature to enable a simple, one-stop booking process, offering users a more convenient and seamless travel booking experience than ever before.

Rakuten is leveraging Rakuten AI to fulfill its mission to empower society and individuals through innovation, creativity and collaboration. By leveraging AI agents as a gateway to the Rakuten Ecosystem, the company aims to connect users to a wider range of services and provide increasingly personalized experiences. As part of this commitment, Rakuten Travel is renaming its AI agent to Rakuten AI and will progressively update its chat interface and icon design as part of the rebrand.

In the future, Rakuten Travel will continue to improve convenience for customers by leveraging AI to offer personalized support for each individual user across all travel scenarios.

Long-term goal of Rakuten one trillion yen income 30.01.26 22:59#13959

Long-term goal of Rakuten one trillion yen operating income

My view for Rakuten in 2026 and beyond

14 hours ago

Mickey Mikitani, Chairman and CEO, Rakuten Group

2026 is upon us, and I feel a strong sense of momentum across the Rakuten Group.

Last year marked Rakuten’s 29th consecutive year of growth. Not so long ago, we were absorbing significant losses as we invested in the future. Today, it is deeply rewarding to see those investments begin to pay off, not just on the balance sheet, but in the confidence it gives us as we look ahead.

The world continues to transform rapidly. Social, economic and technological uncertainty has become a part of our everyday lives. But it’s times like these when long-term vision matters most. I have always believed that change brings opportunity, and that belief feels especially relevant today.

Mobile connectivity is a foundation for our everyday life

Establishing Rakuten Mobile was never simply about adding one more service to the Rakuten Ecosystem.

Today, smartphones are the most important interface between people and the digital world. They’re no longer just tools for calls alone. They are your wallet, your TV, your library, your expert consultant or personal assistant. They touch nearly every part of daily life.

At the end of 2025, Rakuten Mobile surpassed 10 million subscribers. This milestone represents more than growth alone. It reflects trust from customers who believe in affordable pricing, transparent services and a new approach to mobile connectivity.

Rakuten Mobile has now turned EBITDA positive and significantly contributes to the Rakuten Ecosystem.

Rakuten wesentlich besser als Rocket Libuda Libuda: one trillion yen operating income = $ 6.5 billion 31.01.26 07:42#13960
= $ 3 for a share.

And this by price-earnings of for example 17 is a share-price of $ 51 - the ten-fold of today.

Mich interessieren vor allem die Entwicklung des Non-GAAP operating income und des EBITDA, deren Entwicklungen gigantisch sind, während die meist von KI getexteten Analysen auf Gewinnbegriffe zurückgreifen, in denen sich noch teilweise die bewusst und gezielt eingegangenen Verluste widerspiegeln, die beim Aus-dem-Boden-Stampfen eines vierten Mobile-Netzes in Japan eingegangen wurden.

Record-high revenue for the 29th consecutive year

Rakuten reported consolidated revenue of 2.5 trillion yen, an increase of 9.5% year-on-year (YoY). This milestone represents the 29th consecutive year of record-high revenue.

In addition to revenue growth, notable improvements in Rakuten Mobile’s profitability contributed to consolidated Non-GAAP operating income of 106.3 billion yen for FY2025, an improvement of 99.2 billion yen YoY.

The Group achieved record high EBITDA for FY2025 of 435.9 billion yen, up 33.7% YoY. The strong performance was supported by Internet Services, FinTech and Mobile segments, which saw YoY revenue growth for FY2025.

“We have achieved the earnings targets we set at the beginning of 2025, demonstrating strong growth and solid profit improvement.” Mikitani noted.
