Hey great article! I think Bandai is kind of like Nintendo in that it's well-known and well-liked among the general population. Would you consider doing a deep dive into it anytime soon? Also, curious what website it is you use to pull the financial data.

Actually not a bad idea. Bandai Namco has however pivoted from focusing solely on video games to igaming, think of games for Pachinko-machines, mobile pay-to-win games etc. Still very nice figures though.

I use a tool developed by some Swedes called Borsdata (borsdata.se)

Thanks. Going to check Borsdata out. I notice in Asia Bandai is huge with its capsule machines? Any room for growth there, considering in NA all we see are shitty gumballs in capsule machines instead of semi highend toys?

I don't think so, but if it's cheap enough to implement they might try. Capsule machines are in a segment they call Amusement which contains their theme parks, arcades and capsules, and today it only represents 5% of their revenue and they only operate in Japan.
