Nippon Ichi Software rebounds on strong new release; Konami and Celsys see profit-taking

On the Tokyo stock market on July 31, Nippon Ichi Software rebounded even as 52% of 96 game and entertainment-related stocks declined, outpacing the 41% that rose. The strong performance of its new title 'Hono Kurashi no Niwa' on the Steam rankings was seen as a positive factor. Meanwhile, Konami Group fell for the first time in five days despite posting record first-quarter results, as its full-year forecast was left unchanged. Celsys also declined after a four-day winning streak, as its second-quarter earnings and upward revision to full-year guidance were seen as already priced in.

Celsys Plunges in Afternoon Trading Despite Upward Revision to Full-Year Forecast

However, with the stock having risen for four consecutive days through the previous session on expectations of strong results, it is now being pushed lower by selling on the view that the near-term catalysts have been exhausted.
