Nintendo Co., Ltd. <7974> topped the "buy predictions rising" category under Minkabu's "Retail Investor Predictions (Latest 48 Hours)" as of noon on Monday.

In Tokyo trading on Monday, Nintendo shares fell for a fourth straight day. After the market close on May 8, the company cut its earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2027, projecting a consolidated net profit of 310 billion yen, down 26.9% year-on-year, and lowering its annual dividend by 57 yen to 162 yen. It also revealed a price hike for its Nintendo Switch 2 console. The weaker full-year outlook weighed on market sentiment, dragging the stock to 6,849 yen on May 15, a fresh year-to-date low. However, the company announced on May 19 that it will launch its "Pictnico!" smartphone app on May 28. The app, which transforms user photos into interactive mini-games, has fueled growth expectations, while the recent stock decline has highlighted its valuation appeal among investors.
