NINTENDO LTD is the acknowledged worldwide leader in the creation of interactive entertainment. Nintendo has created such industry icons as Mario and Donkey Kong and launched franchises like The Legend of Zelda and Pokemon. Nintendo manufactures and markets hardware and software for its popular home video game systems, including Nintendo 64 and Game Boy - the world's best-selling video game system.

Nintendo has been a name we have really heard much from in the world of video games and home console systems of late. However, that all changed over the past week as the company's mobile app, Pokemon Go, has taken the world by storm.

Major cities in the US and across the globe are awash with people staring at their phones, walking into objects--and sometimes traffic, and seeking access to highly restricted areas such as the White House and the Pentagon seeking to "capture" various characters in the game.

This interactive app has put the company back on the map in a big way. Since its release, the company's stock price has surged @50%.

However, is this newfound popularity going to really translate into bigger profits for the company? The app/game is free to download and play. However, it is what is known as a "freemium game" because players looking to boost their success may purchase items from Nintendo as they play.

The app was actually created by Niantic, a company spun off from Google/Alphabet. They use Nintendo characters in the game, but they are privately held, and thus it is unclear just which firm is going to make the money here. Nintendo doesn't really own "Pokemon" either, that is yet another Tokyo firm, but they have long made lots of revenues from that partnership.

Right now, analysts believe this may provide a big boost to Nintendo worthy of the surge in stock price, but as always, consumers, and the internets, are fickle. We will have to see if this Pokemon Go craze has staying power. We also need to see the true effects on the underlying partnerships and their revenue distribution deals to know if Nintendo has once again re-booted the Pokemon franchise.

Anecdotally, we can report that there are visible numbers of Pokemon Go players on the streets and that they include both younger children and adults old enough to have played Pokemon with cards "back in the day" when they themselves were children.

In the meantime, this quick stock run up will need to be digested by analysts and we shall see if earnings are going to get the kind of boost that will be noticed by our models.

VALUENGINE RECOMMENDATION: ValuEngine continues its HOLD recommendation on NINTENDO LTD for 2016-07-14. Based on the information we have gathered and our resulting research, we feel that NINTENDO LTD has the probability to ROUGHLY MATCH average market performance for the next year. The company exhibits ATTRACTIVE Company Size but UNATTRACTIVE Price Sales Ratio.

ValuEngineCapital Money Management Services

We are pleased to announce that ValuEngine Capital has begun trading for our clients. ValuEngine Capital, a registered investment advisory firm, offers our clients investment-management services based on industry-leading ValuEngine research. ValuEngine Capital melds the cutting-edge financial theory of ValuEngine's award-winning quantitative independent research with the best real-world Wall St. practices. ValuEngine Capital offers refined investment portfolios for investors of all risk-reward profiles.

ValuEngine Capital is offering three investment strategies to clients, the ValuEngine View Strategy, the ValuEngine Market Neutral Strategy, and the ValuEngine Diversified Strategy.

ValuEngine View Strategy: The ValuEngine View Strategy is the product of a sophisticated stock valuation model that was first developed by ValuEngine's academic research team. It utilizes a three factor approach: fundamental variables such as a company's trailing 12-month Earnings-Per-Share (EPS), the analyst consensus estimate of the company's future 12-month EPS, and the 30-year Treasury yield are all used to create a more accurate reflection of a company's fair value. A total of eleven additional firm specific variables are also used. The ValuEngine View portfolio is constructed by integrating both our Aggressive Growth—based on the Valuation Model--and Diversified Growth—based on the Forecast Model-- Portfolio Strategies. The ValuEngine View Strategy is constructed by integrating this model along with some basic rules for market capitalization and industry diversification. The portfolio has 15 stocks and is rebalanced once each month.

ValuEngine Market Neutral Strategy: The ValuEngine Market Neutral Strategy is the product of ValuEngine's Forecast Model. This model was developed by a team of PhD's and is based on the cutting edge economic theories of Wall Street professionals and Ivy League academics. We carefully examine dozens of fundamental and technical factors for over 8,000 individual stocks, synthesize the data, and then come up with a sector-diverse list of our best and worst forecast 1-month return stocks. Short and long-term historic factors in the VE Forecast model's calculation include past-valuation levels of the stock and its recent price-momentum factor relative to other stocks. The ValuEngine Market Neutral Strategy utilizes Forecast Model outputs along with market capitalization, price, and sector diversification rules to construct a monthly portfolio made up of 16 stocks for both the long and short sides.

Strategies To Suit All Investor Types

The ValuEngine Diversified Strategy: The ValuEngine Diversified Strategy invests in a variety of asset classes in order to provide investors with stable returns and a high- dividend yield coupled with significantly lower risk than single-asset products. The ValuEngine Diversified Strategy may include ETFs focused on commodities, stock indices, REITS, bonds, emerging markets, and other suitable products. By reaping the benefits of diversification, the ValuEngine Diversified Strategy seeks to remain resilient during times of market volatility. The ValuEngine Diversified Strategy is designed for investors seeking management for their IRA and other retirement funds as well as those whose risk-profile is not suitable for our other strategies.
