Echo Trading Swings to Loss as Quarterly Profit Evaporates

Revenue figures offered a rare point of stability, edging up to 27.29 billion yen from 26.51 billion yen a year earlier. However, this top-line growth failed to translate into earnings as operating profit plummeted from 206 million yen to just 8 million yen. Pretax profit followed a similar trajectory, dropping to 7 million yen from 207 million yen.

Under Japanese accounting standards, the company reported a loss per share of 1.03 yen, a stark reversal from the 21.78 yen earnings per share recorded in the first quarter of 2025.
