KOEI TECMO HOLDINGS seen turning to profit growth for full year despite flat guidance

Thu Sep 3, 2026 10:00 am JST Catalyst

KOEI TECMO HOLDINGS CO., LTD. <3635> drew market attention after reporting a consolidated operating profit of 5.407 billion yen for the first quarter (April-June), up 51.3% year-on-year, driven by strong sales of major titles released in the previous fiscal year and back-catalog titles.

For the full fiscal year ending March 2027, KOEI TECMO maintained its operating profit forecast at 32 billion yen, down 13.9% year-on-year. However, with major titles such as Attack on Titan 3 expected to contribute in the second half, market expectations are building for a turnaround to profit growth, with forecasts pointing toward about 38 billion yen, up about 2.2%.

* The full-year dividend forecast of 48 yen a share, down 18 yen from a year earlier, is also seen as having room for an upward revision.

* The stock has been recovering from its June low of 1,417.5 yen, with further upside expected from current levels.
