Koei Tecmo raises second-quarter forecast, lifting operating profit to 11.5 billion yen

Koei Tecmo Holdings raised its cumulative second-quarter consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2027 on October 19, according to gamebiz.jp. The company lifted its operating profit forecast from 7 billion yen to 11.5 billion yen.

The sales forecast was raised from 34 billion yen to 37 billion yen. Ordinary profit is now projected at 25 billion yen, up from 12 billion yen, while net profit was revised from 9 billion yen to 18 billion yen. Earnings per share moved from 27.69 yen to 57.62 yen.

Koei Tecmo attributed the upward revision to strong sales of major titles released in the previous fiscal year and of back catalog titles. Non-operating income is also expected to exceed the plan through investment management while the company monitors financial markets.

The company left its full-year forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2027 unchanged for now.
