It doesn´t even mean that those 225 companies are all bigger than Nintendo. Many of them may be a lot smaller, actually. The shares fall 8,4 % this week but until that they rose 31 % during the year. Then they aggregate this year a 22,6 % increase. That´s not bad at all. Of course a decrease of 8,4 % may get some worries from investidors. Selling after profiting 22,6 % seems a good deal. Some people here just seems to not understand how the stock market works.... and still want to talk about it just to bash Nintendo. |
It's not as simple as that. Companies are added to the Nikkei once a year, generally, in September. Some investement firms invest in the Nikkei 225, so those firms would buy shares in Nintendo if it was added, pushing the price up. It's exclusion this year is a blow to the share value.
However, it really doesn't say anything about the performance of the company, and if Nintendo's profits start increasing its share value will rise. I'm pretty confident the 3DS/2DS is going to thrive for the remainder of the year, and Wii U will do OK. So I think they will make a good pile of cash in Q3, and for the year.
