M3 Shares Plunge as Q1 FY2027 Revenue Rises but Operating Profit Falls 8.6%

M3 shares tumbled to 1,530 yen on August 7, down 16.9 percent from the previous day. In its first-quarter results for the fiscal year ending March 2027, revenue rose 4.5 percent year-on-year to 90.1 billion yen, but operating profit fell 8.6 percent to 18 billion yen, and net profit dropped 21.8 percent to 10.5 billion yen, with profits declining across the board.
