Sega Sammy Holdings ( (JP:6460) ) just unveiled an announcement.

Sega Sammy reported consolidated sales of ¥335.2 billion through the third quarter of FY2026/3, with operating income of ¥19.8 billion and ordinary income of ¥23.8 billion, while profit attributable to owners of the parent fell to ¥2.7 billion due mainly to higher extraordinary losses. The group revised its full-year forecast to ¥490.0 billion in sales and ¥40.0 billion in operating income but now expects a net loss of ¥13.0 billion, reflecting large projected extraordinary losses despite stable core operations and continued investment in R&D and content production.

In the Entertainment Contents segment, consumer, animation, and amusement businesses continued to drive sales growth, supported by rising R&D and content production spending as well as higher advertising outlays. The Pachislot & Pachinko business remained profitable but at lower operating margins, while the Gaming segment stayed in the red, underscoring structural challenges even as consolidated capital expenditure and headcount rose, including the integration of Rovio that lifted R&D personnel ratios and overseas staffing.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:6460) stock is a Buy with a Yen2640.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Sega Sammy Holdings stock, see the JP:6460 Stock Forecast page.
