Nomura downgraded Capcom from Buy to Neutral while raising its price target from JPY 4,200.00 to JPY 4,400.00 on October 7, 2026, according to Markets Insider. At JPY 4,581.00, Capcom's October 16, 2026 closing price was 4.11 percent above Nomura's target. The stock gained 2.05 percent from the Tokyo Stock Exchange close of October 15, 2026.
Results date brings a near-term marker
Capcom is scheduled to report its second-quarter results on October 27, 2026. The date was identified in a recent company calendar summary by Simply Wall St. That publication also listed 18 analysts in its current coverage overview, giving the upcoming release a defined valuation backdrop.
Stock sits below its yearly high
Capcom's home-market price stood at JPY 4,581.00 on October 16, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. JST, with the Tokyo Stock Exchange closed for the session. Its 52-week range was JPY 2,736.00 to JPY 4,726.00 as of that date. The closing price was therefore JPY 145.00 below the high, a distance of 3.07 percent.
The daily move also exceeded the gains reported for two large Japanese game companies. Square Enix rose 3.36 percent to JPY 3,029.00, while Nintendo gained 3.05 percent to JPY 8,479.00 on October 16, 2026. Capcom's 2.05 percent rise placed it below both peers on that session.
Valuation and upcoming results
Capcom's market capitalization was JPY 1.9 trillion and its price-to-earnings ratio was 28.82 as of October 16, 2026. Square Enix had a market capitalization of JPY 1.1 trillion and a price-to-earnings ratio of 28.72, while Nintendo stood at JPY 9.8 trillion and 20.69, respectively. The comparison places Capcom closer to Square Enix on earnings valuation than to Nintendo.
For the next scheduled company milestone, the October 27, 2026 results date matters more than another calendar entry because it can test whether the strong first-quarter operating trend carried into the following period. Capcom's first-quarter sales and profit figures remain historical context rather than a substitute for the upcoming report.
Capcom stock and the Tokyo close
