Taking into account the latest results, the consensus forecast from Konami Group's 15 analysts is for revenues of JP¥399.0b in 2025. This reflects a modest 5.6% improvement in revenue compared to the last 12 months. Statutory earnings per share are predicted to rise 4.3% to JP¥500. In the lead-up to this report, the analysts had been modelling revenues of JP¥392.1b and earnings per share (EPS) of JP¥484 in 2025. So the consensus seems to have become somewhat more optimistic on Konami Group's earnings potential following these results.

There's been no major changes to the consensus price target of JP¥12,859, suggesting that the improved earnings per share outlook is not enough to have a long-term positive impact on the stock's valuation. The consensus price target is just an average of individual analyst targets, so - it could be handy to see how wide the range of underlying estimates is. There are some variant perceptions on Konami Group, with the most bullish analyst valuing it at JP¥15,470 and the most bearish at JP¥11,200 per share. As you can see, analysts are not all in agreement on the stock's future, but the range of estimates is still reasonably narrow, which could suggest that the outcome is not totally unpredictable.

These estimates are interesting, but it can be useful to paint some more broad strokes when seeing how forecasts compare, both to the Konami Group's past performance and to peers in the same industry. The period to the end of 2025 brings more of the same, according to the analysts, with revenue forecast to display 7.6% growth on an annualised basis. That is in line with its 7.1% annual growth over the past five years. Compare this with the broader industry, which analyst estimates (in aggregate) suggest will see revenues grow 5.5% annually. So it's pretty clear that Konami Group is forecast to grow substantially faster than its industry.

The Bottom Line

The most important thing here is that the analysts upgraded their earnings per share estimates, suggesting that there has been a clear increase in optimism towards Konami Group following these results. Happily, there were no major changes to revenue forecasts, with the business still expected to grow faster than the wider industry. The consensus price target held steady at JP¥12,859, with the latest estimates not enough to have an impact on their price targets.

Keeping that in mind, we still think that the longer term trajectory of the business is much more important for investors to consider. We have forecasts for Konami Group going out to 2027, and you can see them free on our platform here.
