Japanese analysts love Capcom stock

IFIS (International Financial Information Service) recently pulled data for
analysts and their predictions of Capcom stock in Japan, and the vast majority of them placed favor on the house that
Mega Man built. In fact, out of the 20 firms listed, not a single one had a "sell" recommendation on
Capcom stock, with the lowest rating out of the bunch being simply "neutral."
What's even more interesting is the trend in analyst forecasts compared to reported figures. They've pretty much been on the money, with averages for predictions of operating income and earnings per share coming alarmingly close to actual figures. We're assuming these analysts haven't yet heard about
Resident Evil 5's numbers, so expect hearts, unicorns and Capcom logos to populate every page of their diaries next week.
