Stock prices are a reflection of investors' expectations for the future. So, the day before Run came out, the bid/ask prices of Nintendo stock factored in X number of downloads of run, resulting in Y dollars of revenue and profit. Once the game launched, investors have real data to work with, rather than guesses and estimates. So, the bid/ask prices are adjusted accordingly. |
I know. I'm just wondering what kind of expectations did they have, and what were they based on, because an 11% decrease of the stock's value is a pretty decent amount. Just how dettached from reality are they, or just how greedy can they get, if they consider a small app that is basically a runner game (with thousands of those free already) earning millions in a couple of days, when the cost is probably less than a million in total.
