The 48% operating margin context

Capcom’s ~48% operating margin is exceptional by any standard in the games industry:

• The industry average operating margin for major publishers is approximately 15–20%.
• Capcom’s margin reflects its back-catalogue strategy: RE Engine remakes consistently sell 10–18M copies at minimal incremental development cost relative to a new IP.
• 93% of FY2026 sales came from digital distribution — eliminating retail margin and physical costs.
