CAPCOM Stock Soars to All-Time High After RE4 in a Seemingly Unending String of Success

This Monday, CAPCOM stock reached its all-time high record at 4,865 yen, as noted in a tweet by Japanese gaming market analyst Serkan Toto. CAPCOM shares opened at 4,780 today and have now slightly decreased to 4,840, which is still a 2.22% increase.

One of my favorite developers, even going back to the NES days.

[chrisx]

Agreed. I don't think I heard any other logo intro sound as I did street fighter 2 turbo intro logo theme on the SNES

[SonyStyled]

I still have my og copy from when I was a kid 😂

[badz149]

in Microsoft's fashion, maybe Sony should start making calls to Capcom asking if they are for sale?

[Lore]

Somy is too cheap. Disappointing

[SurgicalMenace]

Sony is far from cheap, their philosophy requires proven ventures with great returns. You'll see very soon and it will all make sense as soon as you see it. I have my suspensions that they're not as concerned with the Activision deal as they're letting on. They want MS to over play their hand, but most people aren't seeing the long play. Just remember the history behind Nintendo's tactics and how those played out. Pretend to be affected, as it's the shots you don't see that do the most damage. Keep watching...🍿

Sony doesn't have to buy good studios... they create them

[Tedakin]

MS bought Bethesda and Activision at low points, not at the all time highs Capcom is currently at.

[shinoff2183]

Sounds kinda bs to me

[MadLad]

Capcom is one of the last Eastern publishers I see putting themselves up for sale.

[SonyStyled]

What do you see being those of the first?

[GoodGuy09]

No. Clearly they're doing well and I doubt they'd want to be bought. Deals will probably be made here and there though like the MHRise switch exclusivity.

[badz149]

Bethesda and Activision were both doing well before MS came to buy them. and in ABK's case, MS even willing to pay way above their value. that's why you're seeing Bobby Kotick fighting hard for the buyout to go through

[MadLad]

@badz

Activision was assessed on their potential during a period of time when they were in a rut. It isn't exactly just a case of paying above market value.
They met in the middle of where stock was before the controversies kept coming out and driving the company's value down. Microsoft paid for the value of the IPs and the staff; not much acknowledging the controversy had under the current management, being they were being replaced after the acquisition.

[Sonic1881]

Why? Sony is still dominating. I'll wait to see if Microsoft starts to dominate in a couple of years before buying a publisher

[Asplundh]

SquareEnix might happen, Capcom though? Not likely.

[HeliosHex]

Nostalgia is a powerful thing.

[Demetrius]

This and the dead space remake I thought of shown other devs to remake more of our favorites atleast a remaster maybe

[XiNatsuDragnel]

Now code Veronica and then re5 remake plz.

[Nintentional]

SJW’s would cancel an RE5 remake so fast today

[XiNatsuDragnel]

You right code Veronica first tbh.

[MadLad]

They had a stink about it at release.

[sadraiden]

2012 called, it wants their bland and unoriginal takes back.

[neutralgamer1992]

Who knew if only you release quality games that people will actually buy and enjoy them

S/

[sadraiden]

Gotta hand it to Capcom, they're in a new golden era. SF6 looks like it'll be huge, plus if everyone here gets their way, another RE remake on the horizon. Quality leadership.

[Shalnark]

"Gotta hand it to Capcom, they're in a new golden era"
What are you talking about ? RE4 with or without Capcom gonna sell well anyway
SF6 looks like a disaster in the making and the "quality leadership" that you talk about is controlled by western branch of Capcom and not Capcom Japan , the hell are you talking about quality and golden era

[chobit_A5HL3Y]

who would have thought that remaking beloved games well would be profitable?

a lot of people, including devs, think that remasters/remakes are gambles, but they're really not if you actually put care into making them. the problem is companies try to cut corners and play solely off of nostalgia in order to sell them a lot of time, and so when they turn out to be half-assed and just flat-out bad, they risk other companies not wanting to take the risk because all they see is the $$$ failure.

dead space and the re franchises show that you can have incredible success if you actually put the time and effort into these projects. capcom, square, sega, and more; all of these companies have stables of games that would be incredible if they had good remakes. there are countless games from the 80's, 90's, and 2000's that would be awesome if they had the same treatment that re and ds had/have.

[Shalnark]

Undeserved success , its all Nostalgia driven and they know damn well how RE4 is a well demanded title for casual audience , the whole remake was watered down and controlled by what Capcom san francisco say on what should and should't be on the game , Capcom Japan has no control to their titles these days its actually sad

[ThePacemaker]

I really hope SH2 Remake does the same for Konami.
