Q4 profit is somehow worse than Q4 of 2 years ago, and that says a lot

It's so bad that their stocks already hit limit-down only 15 minutes after the market closed. We are witnessing the re-enacting of the Selen shock, but this time it isn't caused by livers

Also worth noting is that at last year's investor's meeting, they formally and officially acknowledged that the EN branch's revenue was, in their own words, "somewhat challenging," but promised that they would work towards revenue recovery.

The EN branch's revenue has... um... not recovered. I daresay it has done the opposite of "recover," with each quarter and the year as a whole having a sizeable YoY revenue opposite-of-recovery.

Somehow I doubt that the shareholders will be impressed with the suits' decision to reduce dividends while keeping the money furnace called "Nijisanji EN" in even maintenance mode-level operation.

Picrel should be updated with today's numbers
>>
>>112558514
Forecast for next year is flat. All investors care about is line goes up, not line goes horizontal. Both cover and anycolor's reports these past quarter means vtubing in Japan has peaked, and will only decline from now on.
>>
>>112558514
Didn't go up by enough. They had the same problem six months ago, when they increased dividends but didn't (couldn't) increase dividends by enough to make the shareholders erect and/or moist.
This time around, they DECREASED dividends.

>>112558550
That's the karma for Riku by blindly believing Youtube numbers as "progress" and continue to do nothing about it

>>112558769
Anon, in Cover's reports last year the (temporary) estimated loss of revenue for just merch sales in the west due to tariffs for a single quarter was more than what nijiEN generated in revenue this ENTIRE FISCAL YEAR. The EN market may be dead for niji but it's still quite good for Cover. They're even expanding their card game sales to more stores in the west so it really is just a failing for anycolor to not be able to perform on the international stage. Hence why their "niji world tour" was only held in Japan and like two chinese cities.
>>
Gonna leave this here since people in /#/ ignored it since it doesnt work according to their agenda. Cover actually needs to focus now else they might start reclining way harder than expected
>>
>>112559402
and by focus that means cutting out the en and id branches draining resources with very little to no benefit
>>
>>112559402
doesn't nijisanji have like 200 niggas? How are they that close in revenue to hololive?
>>
>>112558147
If Anykara wants to call themselves an international compa, NijiEN is a load bearing tumor
>>
>>112558147
There was a point when niji EN made up like 1/3 of the company's revenue. Now they're 3%. Terminating niji EN at this point would be a net benefit considering the drama they bring to niji.
>>
>>112559041
and nijisanji with the only jp fanbase alone out-sale hololive with the combined of en market and jp market by 6 billion without the nijifes, en market meant jack shit, just bunch of zombie subs and views from sea and latinx monkeys
>>
>>112559452
even hololive debuts 300 talents now, their sale would be the same, it's all about the fanbase size
>>
ANYCOLOR Q4

>>112559566
You sound upset and are degrading into ESL babble. The attempt at projection at the end just makes it worse.
>>112559585
That makes no sense. Niji has over twice the vtubers but is competing against a fanbase for an amount of vtubers less than half the size of niji. That means Hololive pulls in a larger fanbase per vtuber, and that's apparent from their general metrics.
>>
>>112557973
Because Cover had to write off HoloEarth, not because Anycolor is doing better at anything
>>
>>112559402
HoloEarth held them back, and now that they ditched that black hole of money, they are expected to bounce back

That 3 billion yen loss is big, but that loss is necessary to prevent future billion yen more loss and not let HoloDream effort goes to waste

Meanwhile Anycolor has not made any big changes aside from more livers and yet they still failed to meet investors' expectation

Anycolor's revenue this year looks good, but if they don't start venturing outside of vtuber otaku bubble or the pol situation continues like this, then this could be their ceiling, meanwhile Cover has ditched their deadweight and they are laser-focus on not losing their female talents with their new structure so not only they will patch the holes, they will rise again with HoloDreams that has 1.1 million pre-registrations as we speak

Cover has a positive future outlook, but Anycolor still relies on Kuzuha to milk sisters' money and they will rely more on him now that Nornis and Rof-mao stopped working. It's Anycolor who should be wary of Cover's resurgence
>>
>>112559672
>That means Hololive pulls in a larger fanbase per vtuber
it doesn't mean if cover debuts 10 times more talent now, their fanbase will be 10 times bigger, the fanbase stay the same, if you compare companies brand and value, the total sale and fanbase size are the only thing that matter

I'm worried about the industry as a whole. If both cover and anycolor is stagnating as their next FY projections show, the vtuber industry as a whole might go down the shitter soon.
>>
>>112559702
Cover will always find another shit project to make it a money black hole
>>
>>112559774
Yeah your argument is if 300 holos were added overnight the current fanbase wouldn't increase. That's not saying anything of worth or even addressing my point. I said Holo pulls a larger audience per vtuber and that's demonstrably true. They have a larger box viewership than niji, it's not debatable. Now I don't think it's a good idea to debut 30 vtubers a year like anycolor does because that clearly doesn't help much. But that's how anycolor runs, profit at almost any cost.
>>
>>112559869
Looks like the next project is holo dreams and that shit looks promising so far
>>
Another graph
>>
>>112559547
It's far too late for that to matter. Whether they stay or go, nothing really changes. All that matters is if they make more than they cost to run, which might be possible considering they get no resources to begin with.
>>112559774
The point is to find members that actually bring in new audiences rather than shuffling around the same box. Members like ERB or Fauna that actually attract people that wouldn't otherwise watch Hololive and might even have no interest outside of them.

/vt/ doesn't seem to understand this concept and would much rather have 20 clones though, wondering why girls like gigi or cc somehow aren't gaining new subs despite being watched by plenty of holo fans.

Nijisanji is the worst form of this where they flood the market with overlapping talents with no real niches or support, wondering why they can't seem to get anyone new to grow despite having so many members.
>>
>>112559865
To be honest more corpos have gone down compared to earlier years is a big indicator
>>
>but Niji has 1000 vtubers
99.99% of them are below Holostars, why would it matter? They don't have the ball to fire them like Cover because they're scared the public will shit on them. The way I'm seeing it is those top male vtubers are actually making shittons of money compared to Holomems despite having way smaller viewerbase.
Kinda makes sense actually, young women can generate free money by selling their bodies and they dump it all on merch.
>>
>>112559865
Depends what you define as "the industry."
Independents seem to be doing fine, especially outside of Japan where they're becoming common enough in the streaming and content creation sphere that "vtuber" is starting to be a recognized word even among normalfags.

>>112560059
no niji is making comparable money to top Holos because they get far worse cuts, the one time kuzuha mentioned his earnings cut was it was far less than what Holos get for their typical solo merch

Some VTA people that they fired had 5k viewers on average streaming on their shitty avatar, it's a massive loss for Anycolor if anything. Apparently a handful of them that survived in that batch are the outcast weirdos that didn't get along with the big group, therefore not invited to their secret discord unapproved by staffs.

Strategy of basically ignoring EN and focusing purely on JP worked out, huh?
In hindsight, the Dokibird drama and other bullshit involving EN members were pretty convenient for Anykara because they were forced out of international market right before Trump went schizo mode and started his massive economic wars that turned any worldwide shipping into massive and expensive pain in the ass.
Riku wins by doing less than nothing, lmao.

>Because Cover had to write off HoloEarth, not because Anycolor is doing better at anything
This, and there is a massive write off by closing down HoloEarth. The big question is whether Cover will fully recover next year and whether AnyColor will maintain their revenue or suffer a drop since the JP vtuber market is completely saturated. Cover has more growth potential because they still have an overseas market.
>>
>>112562799
by your logic all the paypigs are faggots who sell their holes and suck cocks just to dump money on their oshis
>>
>>112563083
From a pov of attracting investors I'd rather be cover atp, even if both companies appear to really be struggling to break out of their current markets. Outside of the Holo crossover IRL event stuff that seems to have been pretty positively received the last few years, they have headwind events that are easier to point to (tariffs, Earth project) as being one-off challenges rather than systemic. AC definitely has a stronger report for this year but you need to convince people that your next year is going to spike and "last year was good" is only part of that.
