Investor confidence rises ahead of Christmas sales
Nintendo stock has become the second most valuable in Japan following investor confidence in the company's performance ahead of the crucial Christmas period.
As noted by Reuters, the games giant has passed Canon and sits behind only the Toyota Motor Company to become the second most valuable traded company. Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group has a bigger market value than Nintendo, but shares are currently suspended due to a imminent share split.
Shares in Nintendo were up to 59,200 JPY on Tuesday, or 3.1 per cent, bringing its market value to 8.39 trillion (GBP 36.4 million).
