As reported by Automaton, Nintendo’s stock prices have reached an all-time high today following the slight drop it suffered from the Switch 2 reveal teaser. Just last week, we reported how Nintendo’s stocks fell around 5.9% following the unveiling of the Switch 2, which analysts believed was down to leaks and rumors setting expectations too high. For whatever reason, The Big N has rebounded and prices temporarily rose to ¥9,775 before settling at an average rate. This followed a three-day increase in the stock price, which didn’t stay “low” for very long.
What’s interesting to note is that Nintendo’s stock prices have been on a steady increase since the start of 2025. Before today, the company set its own record high on January 16, 2025, just before the Switch 2 reveal. What likely seems to have happened is that investors were expecting a full reveal of the next console and were left disappointed by the two-minute teaser. Following the stock drop, positive word of mouth from the internet likely helped imbue confidence in investors to take the stock prices even higher.
Ultimately, none of this truly matters in the grand scheme, but it does show how Nintendo can weather almost any storm. The company did live through the Wii U years, after all, so nothing is impossible for the house that Mario built.
