What if Nintendo Doesn't Comeback?

A lot of my post was a more of a general response to the OP.

Still nobody wants Nintendo to make losses for years, investors especially.  But I think people who are more invested in Nintendo for a longer term are willing to give Kimishima a chance to move forward during this transition period. That is as long as they see progress. They too know a healthy Nintendo is a profitable Nintendo.

What you said about short term investors caring more about fluctuations in stock price is true.  What you said about how much the company makes/losses not mattering to short term is not true though because that is somewhat reflected in the stock price.

Short term investors not caring about longer term plans and forecasts is why I think they can be fickle and look for easy answers.  And even though longer term investors are rewarded with dividends as modest and small bonus for owning the stock, with Nintendo that’s not the main reason to own it either.  

In that case, ok.

Profit or losses have indirect effect on stock price, it's not uncommon at all for a stock price to drop when a company makes record-breaking profit, while record losses can still have the price to go up - it's a matter of market expectations. Downsizing and sacking a quarter of your staff may also have the share to skyrocket - even if it means a quarter drop in your revenue.

The thing with Nintendo is, that it has been a company with high profitability and steady stream of dividends for the last decades, making it a good long term investment for retirement funds and all the like. If there's no dividents, the funds have no reason to own the stock and they should monetise it. In the case of monetising, the short term price has to go up, it could mean going third party.
