Nintendo Co., Ltd. (NTDOY)
Summary
Nintendo: The Software Payoff Is Still Ahead
Nintendo is rated Buy, driven by its robust software earnings and potential for digital and IP-driven growth. NTDOY's investment thesis centers on recurring software sales, digital expansion, and monetization of iconic characters via films, merchandise, and theme parks. Management's FY-2027 forecast is ¥2.05T revenue and ¥370B operating profit; I model FY-2028 at ¥2.3T sales and ¥552B operating income.
Nintendo: Console Transition Year, But Software Coming To Assert Itself In Mix
Nintendo (NTDOY) delivers strong operating profit growth, driven by Super Mario movie success, software mix shift, and tariff refunds. Software sales and IP monetization are increasingly central, with upcoming Zelda and Pokémon titles and a Zelda movie expected to boost future profits, likely 2027 calendar year focused. Switch 2 hardware sales are decelerating, but their contribution had anyway been lower than normal due to the region-locked model and higher memory costs coming in (price-hikes coming for latter).
Nintendo: Q1 Earnings Reinforce The Switch 2 Bull Case
Nintendo's Q1 sales fell 9.5%, but operating profit surged 150.5% as software, digital sales, tariff refunds, and favorable currency movements boosted profitability. Nintendo's digital sales jumped 90%, while first-party software represented 82.6% of software sales, strengthening the thesis that ecosystem monetization is becoming increasingly important. Nintendo's upcoming Pokémon, Zelda, Star Fox, Call of Duty, and other releases provide multiple catalysts for continued Switch 2 adoption and software spending.
