No one comes close to Capcom!

Comparison of 10-Year % Gains:

• Capcom (9697): ~1100%
• Take-Two Interactive (TTWO): ~600%
• Bandai Namco (7832): ~400%
• Activision Blizzard (ATVI): ~350%
• Nintendo (7974): ~400%
• Electronic Arts (EA): ~100%

After GOTY DD2 last year, this year we got Wilds as the undisputed GOTY again. Next year we have RE9, Onimusha, Pragmata, Okami 2, and unannounced titles so the Game Awards show should be renamed to Capcom's show next year.

Videogames paid for itself after buying Capcom's stock. After another monster earnings today we are seeing +10% now and more after the Nintendo Direct. Basically if you like videogames and money then that's no reason not having Capcom's stock.

Anyway, this is the game companies stock discussion thread. Tell us which videogames company stock you have and which one you think will do fine?

I wanna buy Shift up stock but don't know how, seems like you have to live in Korea to buy that. If someone finds a way please let me know thank you!

 

[PeteBull]

How about buying ubi stock?

 

[Project EVE]

How about buying ubi stock?

Nope they are the worst

 

[Carmen Winstead]

Four years ago, I bought Ubisoft stock with my grandma's inheritance (100k), aiming to become a millionaire.
I'm almost there! I just need to make another $980,000.

 

[StereoVsn]

Hmm… does MS count? Have some of their stock, been holding and slowly adding for a long while now.

Either way, that's very good performance out of Capcom. Never thought of holding Video Games stock.

 

[Fahdis]

Just bought some EA and Ubi. I'll let you know how it goes bros!

 

[Nocty]

I'd much rather be deep holding datacenter stocks like coreweave and applied digital thanks

 

[owandeseis]

I sold AMD stock just today, like 60% up in Just a few months, lucky hit.

Planning to move into either T2 or CDProjekt If one of them go down a bit in the next days

 

[Unknown?]

Not a good idea, you don't legally own your stocks.

 

[Badlucktroll]

I do a videogames ETF. HERO has capcom and nintendo and square and stuff

You saw overnight MS? Good job.

 

[StereoVsn]

You saw overnight MS? Good job.

Eh, nah, I have had their stock for like 15 years (after they got cheap during 2008 crash). I add to it once in a while.

 

[mèx]

I'm too much of a pussy to play around with single stocks. Maybe I could do that with a decent ETF.

 

[I collect VHS tapes]

Nope they are the worst

Capcom is the new Ubisoft, mtx and all

Except Ubisoft knows how to optimize their games

I see Microsoft gain of about 1000% in the last 10 years, but Capcom is still better!

I actually think we know more about videogames companies than the stock analyst does. So it's an easy win.

At first, I laughed.

It's not a high-growth stock, but then I thought about it in the context of small gains and knowing what I know about Capcom as gamer, and which you just articulated, is that they are a hit factory and that probably won't change in the foreseeable future.

There are much better ways one could use their disposable income in the markets. But, you're not wrong. Thanks for the tip.

Don't take financial advice from a gaming forum like GAF unless you have money to burn, lol.

Capcom and MS (the two examples in the thread) aren't a bad investment but market is expensive now.

Konami was a good pickup a year ago.

I don't do day trading so daily fluctuations don't matter. I will just keep adding when I feel it's a good opportunity and I don't sell unless I really think company is tanking.

 

[Black_Stride]

No one could have bet that CrapCom was gonna become CapGod.

 

[Bridges]

I bought a bunch of Nintendo a few years back and have doubled my money. I wish I had put it in more

 

[fran.fernandez]

Im not allowed to buy game company stocks .

If u guys work on gamedev be aware! Is not go and buy, ask ur manager as they have list / time of the year / registration procedure for buying stock related to ur work .

 

[Grildon Tundy]

I bought ONE Electronics Arts stock back in January when there was some controversy or something and they tanked. Mainly out of curiosity so I could watch it perform because I figured it was Chicken Little syndrome. They seem too big to fail.

I got it at $118, and they're at $152 now for a 32% increase. Should've bought more!

 

[simpatico]

I literally paid for my vacation a couple weeks and a Christopher Ward C60 by short selling Ubi options.

Much better odds tbh. Capcom could fuck up, but there's truly zero chance that Ubi gets their head out of their ass.

 

[Project EVE]

Capcom is the new Ubisoft, mtx and all

Except Ubisoft knows how to optimize their games

People are buying Capcom's games, not Ubi's.

If you looked at their balance sheet, Capcom has been growing in the last 12 years with no debt, while Ubi has been shrinking for years with debt. They are complete opposite.

1 share is like 15 bucks. Over the counter: CCOEY

Their stock will be +5% when Japan market open, in about 2 more hours from now.

Good companies will always be expensive. But they will keep growing so they are actually pretty cheap now.

Do HERO. It has Nintendo, Take Two, Capcom, Square, ect

 

[Fess]

Fuck retirement I'm living now!

I've been buying and selling stocks on Nvidia, Microsoft, AMD, Intel, Sony, Apple for over a decade. Not day trading but sometimes I just hold stocks for a couple days.

Nvidia has been crazy, it's the golden goose. I haven't used my work salary for anything hobby related for a long long time, very much thanks to Nvidia.

Overall there has been a couple bad years but I haven't had a real minus year yet, just less plus.

This year was terrible for a long time but I mostly stepped out and waited to see what Trump was up to so I didn't lose much. Stepped in when the market seemed to turn, I've been enjoying some upward movements for a couple months now.

Already earned back the Switch 2 purchase and upcoming Xbox Ally X plus some more fun things I don't need, currently trying to rebuild for a graphics card upgrade in 1-2 years. I'm not rich but again I don't use the regular salary for my hobbies and for me that's enough. Sitting on stocks for years seems extremely boring to me.

 

[Project EVE]

I am a hardcore gamer myself so I wouldn't short any gaming company. I hope they survive even if I don't want to buy their stock.

I played Shadows and it was a great looking game, just that the gameplay, combat and loading etc need a lot of improvements.

Do HERO. It has Nintendo, Take Two, Capcom, Square, ect

It also has Ubisoft. And some random companies.

You can make your own ETF by buying Capcom, Nintendo, Take-Two, MS, Sony etc separately.

OP forgot to add, "This is not financial advice" to his message.

Or maybe it was intentional, I simply doubt he is a registered broker.

Capcom (9697): ~1100%

It's easier when you fire all the optimization/QA staff.

[consoul]

Retire early by buying Capcom stock 10 years ago.

Also, if you're taking the time machine for a spin, grab some Bitcoin while you're there.

Not too late to stack some sats.

On topic, I own some Nintendo both regular and in my Roth IRA and very little CDPR but that's it gaming wise.

 

[Beechos]

I actually think we know more about videogames companies than the stock analyst does. So it's an easy win.

Watch ms go even higher when next years fianacials come out for Xbox. With all the layoffs expenses will go down dramatically ppl will just look at the numbers and see a huge jump in operating profit from that and think everything is peachy.

How much is a share of Capcom? How much would I need to buy?

Only if you are day trader. If you're going into that, you need to be more serious.

Otherwise, the maxims of buy 'low; sell high' and 'don't spend more than you can afford to lose' are all you need.

There's no need to worry about holding shares/stock so long as you are sensible and don't invest a large proportion of your funds in high risk companies (or get unlucky like with Ubisoft or Intel).

Disclaimer: I am not a qualified financial advisor and investing is at your own risk.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

I've owned NVDA and MSFT a long time

I never bought MSFT for gaming though lmao

I originally bought NVDA because I knew they made video games for gamers and I liked video games. This was a long time ago though

Video games tend to be a very much a boom and bust cycle industry, which is why I've never bought pure video gaming companies

 

[flying_sq]

Not a good idea, you don't legally own your stocks.

Just submit a written request for paper stocks

 

[FoxMcChief]

I retired early by using GameFly and GamePass.

I'm 42.

 

[tr1p1ex]

Ubi on the cheap.

Nexon with a nice gain so far

Bought Nintendo back in the Wii U era and held into the pandemic times.


Capcom …seems expensive.

 

[StereoVsn]

How is 1100% in ten years not a high-growth stock?


Good companies will always be expensive. But they will keep growing so they are actually pretty cheap now.

Capcom may be a solid company but their P/E is 37 I think. That's quite high for non high tech /biotech firm.

Hell, MS is also high and so are most of high flyers. Current market makes me nervous and has some signs of say 1998-1999 or perhaps 2007 with less mortgage shenanigans.

 

[Futaleufu]

They are all one flop away from plummeting stocks

 

[Yoshichan]

And this is why you don't take financial advise from a video game forum

That's 9,50% (!!!) down in ONE day. That's absolutely devastating for short term holders and the market just got more bag holders.

 

[The Cockatrice]

After GOTY DD2 last year

 

[Lith808]

You might wanna check the stock price today.

 

[FinalBossWithTheMostPower]

How is 1100% in ten years not a high-growth stock?

It's solid-growth not high-growth. Not a bad outlook but not much potential for large gains, either.

You want to play checkers, have at it.

There several mobile focused or Asian focused ones more plus whatever Embraced is called now, but I was tired of copypasting suff and yahoo finance seems to be experiencing frequent server issues.

Please notice many of them mostly do non-gaming stuff, and that the values change constantly.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

Bought that Take Two stock like a year ago and i'm sure it'll keep going up until GTAVI money starts rolling in. In terms of videogame companies that's the one i invested the most in the past 12 months.

Also have stock in MS, Nvidia, AMD, Amazon, Apple.

But i really need to diversify my portfolio. Everything is IT and it's making me nervous lmao. China invades Taiwan or something and all these companies go down like hell.
