Nintendo's Stock Recovery Likely Deferred Without Mario Game -- Market Talk

Dow Jones06-11

2347 GMT - Nintendo may find meaningful operating profit growth, one that exceeds guidance, harder to achieve this fiscal year without a tent-pole Mario game, according to Jefferies analyst Atul Goyal. With no 3D Mario game in the 2026 pipeline to offset an estimated 100 billion yen memory cost headwind, nor a visible catalyst to close that gap in the next two quarters, the stock's recovery toward late-2025 levels will likely be deferred, Goyal writes. He notes that while the timeline has been extended by roughly one fiscal year, Nintendo's thesis remains intact. Jefferies maintains a buy rating on the stock and is reviewing its estimates pending a management follow-up. Shares last ended 6.8% lower at Y7,215. (farah.elias@wsj.com)
