Koei Tecmo Holdings Co., Ltd. (TSE:3635) revised its earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, citing strong performance from new releases and improved investment returns.

The company revised its revenue and operating profit forecasts due to stronger-than-expected sales from new titles released in the fourth quarter. Additionally, higher-than-anticipated investment returns contributed to an upward revision in ordinary income and net profit. The firm noted that its financial management strategy, which includes closely monitoring market conditions, led to improved non-operating income, significantly boosting the revised figures.
The revised forecast indicates that net profit and ordinary income are expected to reach record levels for the company. This reflects the positive impact of successful new game launches and enhanced investment performance, which are key drivers of Koei Tecmo’s financial results. Investors should note that ordinary income (keijo rieki) in Japan includes both operating and non-operating profits, which may differ from international accounting standards.
