KONAMI GROUP CORPORATION <9766> climbed for a fourth straight session. Following the May 8 market close, the company projected sales of 505 billion yen (up 2.3% year-on-year), operating profit of 143 billion yen (up 5.2%), and net profit of 101 billion yen (up 1.0%) for the fiscal year ending March 2027, marking its fourth consecutive year of record earnings. The plan to increase the annual dividend by 2.50 yen to 224 yen also bolstered investor sentiment.

In its core Digital Entertainment unit, focused on home console titles, KONAMI plans to release "METAL GEAR SOLID: MASTER COLLECTION Vol. 2" and is developing new entries for the "SILENT HILL" and "Castlevania" franchises. Its "eFootball" title, which reached 1 billion cumulative downloads in April, is expected to see a boost from the World Cup scheduled for June.

For the fiscal year ended March 2026, sales totaled 493.677 billion yen (up 17.1% year-on-year), operating profit rose 33.3% to 135.891 billion yen, and net profit reached 100.013 billion yen (up 33.9%). Performance was driven by strong back-catalog sales of the "Metal Gear" and "SILENT HILL" series.
