Koei Tecmo Raises H1 Fiscal Profit Outlook on Strong Sales

Koei Tecmo has significantly revised its financial forecast for the first half of fiscal year 2026, projecting operating profit to rise by 64.2 percent above initial estimates. The company attributes this upward adjustment to robust sales performance from major releases launched between April 2025 and March 2026, alongside continued high demand for its back catalog titles.
The updated outlook marks a substantial shift from earlier predictions of a double-digit decline in profits. Operating profit is now expected to increase by 44.3 percent compared to the previous fiscal year. Ordinary profit, which encompasses non-core business activities such as investments, is projected to grow by 40.4 percent year-on-year.
