Konami Group Corporation — Cyborg Score 7/10

Strong
Video Game Development, Digital Entertainment & Gaming

Strategic Profile

It operates four business divisions-digital entertainment, amusement, gaming and systems, and sports. Robust growth in eFootball and repeat sales for new console titles released this year more than offset the decline in Silent Hill 2 remake sales. Overseas sales account for the majority of the company's revenue.

Cyborg Score Rationale

Konami demonstrates solid fundamentals with $3.08B TTM revenue and consistent growth in key franchises like eFootball.
