LogInShortly after the successful launch of the survival horror remake, the share price of the Japanese company hit an all-time high of ¥4,865.
Capcom has achieved significant success with the launch of the Resident Evil 4 remake, garnering positive feedback from both critics and commercial audiences. The game has received widespread praise and sold over 3 million units within a mere two-day span, making it the second-largest launch in the franchise's history.
As anticipated, the success of the Resident Evil 4 Remake has had a ripple effect on the company, including its share price. Industry analyst Dr. Serkan Toto reported on Twitter that on Monday morning, Capcom's share price in Japan reached ¥4,865 ($36.64 at the time of writing), partially attributed to the successful launch of the survival horror remake.
The Japanese publisher has set a new record with this achievement. To put things in perspective, on January 11, 2005, when the original Resident Evil 4 was released, Capcom's stock price was 20 times lower. Currently, the company has a market capitalization of ¥1.29 trillion ($9.7 billion).
Capcom's financial outlook for the rest of the year is promising, with several releases such as Street Fighter 6 and Exoprimal slated for launch. Additionally, long-term sales of previous titles are also expected to further fuel the company's ongoing revenue growth.
