Earnings announcements by game- and entertainment-related companies for June through August are about to enter full swing. In this round, announcements are scheduled to be concentrated from 8 to 15 October, and the market is expected to focus particularly on the current fiscal-year outlooks for WonderPlanet and Overlap HD.
WonderPlanet released its results for the third quarter of the fiscal year ended August 2026 on 13 July. HUNTER×HUNTER NEN×SURVIVOR contributed to results, while revenue from Crash Fever and Pandoland, whose service ended in March 2026, declined year on year, resulting in a loss. It has also emerged that the company began developing 2 new mobile game titles following its joint development project with Sanrio, drawing attention to progress in the next fiscal year.
Overlap HD is struggling in the near term, having revised its full-year forecast for the fiscal year ending August 2026 downward on 15 July after book sales expansion related to anime adaptations fell short of expectations. However, the company is also pursuing growth initiatives, including hiring focused on increasing its editorial staff, making the way it presents its growth vision for the next fiscal year a key focus.
