Capcom stock (ISIN JP3218900003) is being reassessed after Nomura cut its rating from Buy to Neutral while raising its price target from JPY 4,200.00 to JPY 4,400.00 on October 7, 2026, as Markets Insider reported. The new target lies 4.07 percent below Capcom's Tokyo price of JPY 4,587.00 on October 20, 2026. The stock was trading at EUR 25.65 at Lang & Schwarz on October 20, 2026 at 7:00 p.m. CEST.
Nomura balances target and rating
Nomura's move sends two different signals. The higher target points to a valuation above the old estimate, while the Neutral rating sets a more cautious stance after Capcom's strong share-price performance. The source gave no separate percentage estimate for the target's expected return.
Capcom's first-quarter fiscal 2027 results provide the operating backdrop. Revenue reached JPY 70.41 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, up 54.70 percent from the comparable period, while operating profit rose to JPY 41.055 billion. Net income was JPY 29.159 billion and basic earnings per share were JPY 69.71, according to the standardized financial statement for the period.
Stock remains near its yearly high
Capcom's Tokyo price was JPY 4,587.00 at 3:30 p.m. JST on October 20, 2026, up 0.72 percent from the prior Tokyo close. The 52-week range was JPY 2,736.00 to JPY 4,726.00, placing the stock 2.94 percent below its high and 67.69 percent above its low. Its year-to-date performance was plus 24.73 percent, and trading volume reached 1,699,900 shares.
The current valuation also separates Capcom from two large Japanese game publishers. Capcom traded at a price-to-earnings ratio of 28.86 with a market capitalization of JPY 1.9 trillion. Konami Group traded at 30.33 times earnings with a JPY 3.4 trillion market value, while Nintendo traded at 21.18 times earnings with a JPY 10.0 trillion market value.
What date matters next?
Capcom is scheduled to announce its second-quarter fiscal 2027 results on October 27, 2026, according to Simply Wall St. The release will test whether the first-quarter revenue increase and operating-profit expansion can continue into the second half of the fiscal year.
Investors await the next results
Capcom combines a JPY 4,400.00 Nomura target with first-quarter revenue growth of 54.70 percent and a Tokyo valuation of 28.86 times earnings. The next results date gives those figures their next scheduled test.
