At this time, the global economy is in turmoil. This was due to the trade war and the US economic report that came out lower than expected. This has caused concern to the point that many stock markets around the world have declined. It has also affected the video game industry because there are reports that the stocks of many gaming companies have fallen significantly, especially those in Japan.
However, including giants like Nintendo, which is down 15%, Capcom, which is down 16%, and Sega, which is down 13%, this is not a cause for concern. Because it is a short-term decline, because a stock falling this way does not indicate that a gaming company is in financial trouble. Nintendo, for example, still has good cash flow.
However, the stock price drop has worried the company's employees. Since many camps have cut profits to the point of loss, there will be a large layoff event at the beginning of the year Serkan Toto (Serkan Toto), CEO of Kantan Games, an industry consultant. Toto attributed the stock market situation to investor panic, adding that this is a problem for stock markets around the world. But it has had a major impact on the stock market in Japan. This is because the country's index fell by as much as 10%.
- Nintendo down 15%
- SEGA is down 13%.
- Capcom down 16%
- Nexon stock fell 13%.
- The cave has decreased by 23%.
- Konami down 8%
- Sony down 6%
- Great down 10%
- Cyberagent is discounted by 10%
- Koei Tecmo shares fell 6%.
- Square Enix is down 5%.
