Nintendo on Smartkarma

Analyst coverage of Nintendo on Smartkarma by Mark Chadwick includes two insightful reports. In the first report titled “Nintendo (7974) | Negative Surprise….Not Really,” Chadwick discusses the initial market reaction being negative due to operating profit misses in FY3/24 and FY3/25. Despite this, he sees an opportunity to buy into the stock for a cyclical upturn in FY3/26. This report provides a bearish lean but suggests a positive outlook for the future.

In the second report “Nintendo (7974) | Delayed…Or Just Fashionably Late,” Chadwick addresses rumors of a Switch 2 delay causing a share price drop, but maintains a bullish sentiment with a potential 25% upside. He dismisses concerns of a one-quarter delay affecting long-term sell-through or valuation. Chadwick highlights Nintendo‘s advantage over Sony’s PS5 troubles, indicating a bullish stance on the stock moving forward.
