Koei Tecmo Posts Record Profit Boosted by $105M Investment Income: Nioh 3, Hyrule Warriors, Pokémon Spinoff Drive Hits—Yet Forecasts Decline
Koei Tecmo Holdings reports record-breaking FY2026 results with revenue of ¥88.3B and ordinary profit of ¥57.0B. Of that, roughly ¥16.4 billion ($105M) came from financial market operations—an investment income stream that rivals many companies' core business profits. Nioh 3 (now at 10M cumulative series sales), Pokémon's hidden hit Pokopia, and Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment drove the gaming side. Yet the company forecasts a 27.6% net income decline next year due to expanded human capital investment.
