Nintendo Stock Rises By 11%

Why? I'm curious, but then again, I'm clueless when it comes to the subject, so for all I know this stuff can happen at random.

Take that Pachter!!!! >:[

Sounds good

Impressive!

@TysonOfTime

My guess is that sometimes it is random. When the PS4 was announced, Sony's stock actually went down while Nintendo's went up. That doesn't make any sense to me, than again, I'm not an economist..

Nice one.

This seemingly has little to do with business other than the fact that Nintendo has a lot of export-based revenue. In other words, it can't be construed that the company is doing better; only that the export climate is better.

We need more games. And cheaper price. Bundles are the way to go. I already have 3DSXL, but when I see that Pikachu bundle, I was tempted to donate my Mario XL to a family member just so I have an excuse to have a Pikachu in my pocket.

^^^ He has a Pikachu in his pocket. Huh huh, huh huh. Yeah, heh heh, heh heh.

11%? Oh my, Nintendo is doomed chapter #435689...

As @Burning_Spear said, this is purely down to exchange rates.

It's like right now, a pound is worth about 1.5 dollars. It was like this back in the early 2000s, and then suddenly the dollar plummeted in value. You could suddenly get over 2 dollars for 1 pound. The prices of items in each country had not changed, but it was suddenly way cheaper for people in the UK to buy things from the US.

Nintendo is making the same money it was months ago, but now that money is 'worth more' than it was months ago, in Japan.

All that just flew over my head.

claps

That's how it's done!

The strong yen has been the single biggest challenge for Japanese companies that rely on foreign sales for much of their revenue. Nintendo themselves highlighted it as a key reason for their huge losses last year, and I reckon it is partly why the Wii U was priced so highly in Europe. Perhaps if the yen weakens further it will increase the chances of a price drop...

Good for them.

Is there a game that teaches how to buy and trade Stock?

Sucks for Sony cash wise lately so this is good. Nintendo actually have way more money than Sony, so strange they don't cone under the same media pressure of collapse if the ps4 fails?

26th of april huh... my birthday!

I wonder if the Japanese people are excited about their purchasing power declining?

Everything's fine.

How about Nintendo Life be a better gaming website than everyone else and STOP POSTING MICHAEL PACHTER COMMENTS!

HAHAHA
Doom & Gloom sayers got nuthin'!

@XCWarrior: Where in this article has he even been mentioned? For heaven's sake, why bring him up if you don't want to talk about him?

@TBD I think he was referring to @bezerker99 's comment, haha.

@Chriiis: it depends on whether or not he was referring to the staff or the userbase, then, i guess. it's easy to take it either way :3

Now jump mad is jumping madder

meanwhile oldie but goody http://www.policymic.com/articles/27093/sony-adr-stock-woes-ps4-release-may-not-save-struggling-tech-giant

@ULTRA-64 Video Games aren't Sony's only source of income. They also have a large line of televisions, publish music, they have a movie studio, etc. They have a lot to fall back on.

@ninja89 A possibility for that occurance is that investors were unimpressed by the PS4 and concluded that Nintendo was a better investment. I have no idea if it's true, but it's a possibility.

Investors seem to be, as a whole, a fickle bunch. For example, after Apple reported record sales for the iPhone 5 their share price dropped signifigantly because despite record profits, they did not sell as many iPhone 5s as analysts predicted.

@God, Nintendo, Stock Market. Amen.

@Jukilum Yes, but their other departments sometimes do even worse. More stuff means more liability and they are not worth more than Nintendo because of losses and liabilities across the Board, as compared to Nintendo who has a consolidated more restrained business.

It's cheaper to buy stuff from Japan because the value of their currency went down, therefore more people bought Nintendo stuff from Japan. Of course that would only be part of the story, as investors must be convinced that Nintendo's fortunes will continue to increase.

Nintendos stocks will rise even more as the end of the year draws closer and those games start releasing... All the BS doom n gloom will be remembered as a huge waste of time for the users that posted massive multiple walls of text about try hard business nothings

While this is good news it has no bearing on Nintendo's performance and is simply a result of the yen weakening.

This therefore benefits all Japanese companies with high exports, not just Nintendo.

It would have been more impressive if the stock rose 11% on the back of strong company performance.

Nintendo is a game where you can play by your self, or with your friends, but you can also chat with them, too.

So Pachter please keep your analyzing to yourself.. You are not an analyst. You are a paid troll. Go away.

All websites should stop talking to that freak.

@jp1989

My first thoughts while reading this article were, "I need to invest" and, "I need something that teaches me how to invest."
I'm asking the same question as you now, ha!

Looks like investors are wising up.

@bezerker99 lol, yeah Pachter talks sense, but like everyone else, can't predict the future

@atomicjuicer Pachter is the mouthbreather who said the 3DS would never take off. lol

Basically this "quantative easing" amounts to lowering the salaries of every Japanese worker and taking their savings, and giving the value to Nintendo (and other export companies) stock holders and European gamers. Lowering wages in Japan is of course necessary, but doing it through inflation and political means in stead of letting each company do it on their own if necessary is the biggest sillyness of this age.
