Koei Tecmo Raises Fiscal 2025 Forecasts on New Launches, Non-Operating Income Gains

-- Amusement and anime holding company Koei Tecmo (TYO:3635) has raised its attributable profit forecast for the fiscal year 2025 to 41.5 billion yen from 27 billion yen previously, according to a Tokyo bourse filing on Monday.

Interim net income per share estimates for the year ended March were increased to 127.68 yen from 85.49 yen initially, but the net sales projection decreased to 87.5 billion yen from 92 billion yen.

The upward revision was driven by new titles launched in the fourth quarter and other titles exceeding initial plans, which boosted net sales and operating profit.

Additionally, significant gains in non-operating income and expenses resulting from active market management further lifted ordinary profit and profit attributable to owners of the parent.

As a result, net sales, ordinary profit, and attributable profit are all expected to achieve record levels for the company.

Challenger's Fiscal 2026 Q3 Update Missed Consensus Across Key Life Metrics, Jarden Says

Challenger's (ASX:CGF) fiscal 2026 third-quarter update missed consensus across key Life metrics, with FM outflows significantly worse than expected, driven by institutional equity mandate attrition in both Australian and global equities, according to a Tuesday note by Jarden.The firm's redemption of all CGFPC notes on May 25 simplifies the capital structure, reduces the AT1 coupon burden, and is earnings-per-share accretive.Jarden sees balanced risk/reward for Challenger in the future, with catalysts including capital management flexibility from the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority reform, as well as expanding retirement partnerships across superfunds.It lowered its fiscal 2026 sales forecast to reflect weaker institutional fixed-term sales, partially offset by higher retail annuity sales as partnerships come online.The investment firm retained its neutral rating on Challenger and raised the price target to AU$8.70 per share from AU$8.60 per share.
