TOKYO (Reuters) – Japan’s Rakuten Group on Thursday posted an operating loss of 33.3 billion yen ($221.25 million) in the October-December quarter, its fourteenth consecutive quarter in the red, as strong gains in its e-commerce and fintech arms failed to make up for its moey-losing mobile arm.
The result compares to an average estimate of 28 billion yen operating loss among eight analysts polled by LSEG.
Results for this quarter improved on an operating loss of 54 bilion yen in the previous quarter.
