Why did Square Enix shares rise today?

Shares climbed after reports indicated guidance for FY26 would swing to profit, boosting confidence in an earnings recovery. Heavy volume, an oversold setup, and dip‑buying added fuel. If the company meets its profit targets, sentiment could continue to improve near term.

Is Square Enix stock expensive now?

It trades at P/E 40.5, P/S 3.06, and P/B 2.76, with EV/EBITDA 13.82. That is not low, so execution matters. If FY26 profit and margins improve, the multiple can compress naturally. If guidance slips, the premium may be at risk.

What are the next catalysts for 9684.T?

Key catalysts include the May 12, 2026 earnings report, any updates to FY26 profit guidance, and news on major titles or live services. Dividend decisions and cost initiatives can also shift sentiment, as can currency moves affecting overseas revenue.

Does Square Enix pay a dividend?

Yes. The recent dividend yield is 2.02%, with a dividend per share of about ¥51.67. The company has low leverage and strong liquidity, which can support payouts through cycles. Future dividends still depend on free cash flow and board decisions.
