Capcom (ISIN JP3218900003) was trading at JPY 4,380 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on October 7, 2026 at 11:30 a.m. JST, down 1.24 percent from the previous close. The next major checkpoint is October 27, 2026, when Capcom is scheduled to report fiscal 2027 second-quarter results, according to Simply Wall St.

Profit growth sets a high bar

Capcom's fiscal 2027 first-quarter revenue reached JPY 70.41 billion, up 54.7 percent from the year-earlier quarter. Operating profit rose 66.9 percent to JPY 41.055 billion, while net income increased 69.2 percent to JPY 29.159 billion, according to Kabutan.

The comparison is especially important because first-quarter operating profit already represented 49.5 percent of Capcom's full-year target of JPY 83.0 billion. The company kept its fiscal 2027 revenue forecast at JPY 210.0 billion, implying planned growth of 7.5 percent for the year.

Digital content carries the result

Digital content revenue increased 83.0 percent to JPY 54.648 billion, and segment operating profit rose 87.5 percent to JPY 37.597 billion, according to Kabutan. The segment's 68.8 percent operating margin shows why recurring sales from established franchises matter alongside new releases.

Capcom sold 23.81 million game units in the quarter, up 68.1 percent year over year. Repeat-title sales reached 21.26 million units, an increase of 59.1 percent, while the new IP PRAGMATA sold 2.51 million units during its first quarter on the market, Kabutan reported.

Consensus stays above the quote

Analyst expectations provide a numerical counterpoint to the stock's October 7 decline. According to Monex, the consensus rating was 4.62, classified as bullish, among 13 analysts on September 28, 2026, while 12 analysts had a target-price consensus of JPY 4,609. That target lies 5.2 percent above the JPY 4,380 price.

Monex also reported that a major U.S. brokerage assigned an Equal-Weight rating and a JPY 4,600 target on September 29, 2026. The gap between Capcom's high first-quarter progress and its unchanged full-year plan leaves the October results focused on the sustainability of digital-content sales.

Capcom stock stays below its yearly high

Capcom's JPY 4,380 intraday price on October 7, 2026 was JPY 139 below its 52-week high of JPY 4,519 and JPY 1,644 above its 52-week low of JPY 2,736. Market capitalization stood at JPY 1.8 trillion, with volume at 966,800 shares.
