Capcom’s April-June FY2027 results beat expectations and sent the stock limit up in Tokyo, driven by strong Pragmata demand, catalog sales and higher unit volumes, while full-year guidance was left unchanged.
Capcom reported sharply higher first-quarter earnings for the fiscal year ending March 2027, helped by the blockbuster April launch of new sci-fi action-adventure title "Pragmata" and continued demand for older franchises. Revenue for April-June 2026 rose 54.7% year-on-year to about ¥70.4 billion, operating profit increased 66.9% to about ¥41.1 billion, and net profit climbed about 69% to roughly ¥29.1 billion to ¥29.2 billion, well above market expectations. The main contribution came from the Digital Contents business, where revenue advanced 83% to ¥54.6 billion and segment profit rose 87% to ¥37.5 billion. "Pragmata" sold more than 2.5 million units worldwide after its April release, while catalog sales of franchises including "Resident Evil" and "Devil May Cry" remained firm. The newer report also said pricing measures for older "Resident Evil" titles supported sales and that total quarterly unit sales reached 23.81 million, up from 14.16 million a year earlier. Capcom kept its full-year forecast unchanged despite the earnings beat, maintaining projections for revenue of ¥210 billion, operating profit of ¥83 billion, and net profit of ¥58 billion for the fiscal year ending March 2027. Following the results, Capcom shares rose ¥700, or 19.8%, to ¥4,229 on July 29, hitting their daily limit up on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Prime Market.
