In morning trading on 10/26, TOHO shares rose after its price target was raised, while NEXON also rebounded after announcing the transfer of domestic operation of 'Blue Archive.' The transfer is scheduled to begin in January 2027.
Tokyo stocks traded below the previous day's levels in morning trading on 26 October. With technology earnings and monetary policy meetings ahead, investors generally remained on the sidelines. Game and entertainment stocks were broadly weak, although some individual stocks attracted buying interest.
Against this backdrop, TOHO shares rebounded, with reports suggesting that a higher price target had drawn investors' attention. NEXON, meanwhile, announced that it would transfer the Japanese publisher role for 'Blue Archive' from Yostar, with the transfer scheduled to begin in January 2027.
