Gundam c'est bien
Bandai Namco Holdings reported its financial results for the fiscal year ending March 2026 on May 13. Sales for the Mobile Suit Gundam IP increased 65.6% year-over-year to 254.3 billion yen, an all-time high. In the fourth quarter alone, sales rose 75.1% year-over-year to 66.2 billion yen, a new quarterly record.
The growth was fueled by the breakout success of Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX, which brought in both longtime fans and a new generation of viewers, alongside heightened attention from the GUNDAM NEXT FUTURE PAVILION at the Osaka-Kansai Expo. Strong performance from Gunpla, trading card games, SD Gundam G Generation Eternal, and the arcade hit Mobile Suit Gundam Extreme Vs. 2 Infinite Boost also boosted results. The strong theatrical launch of Mobile Suit Gundam Hathawayโs Flash: The Witch of Circe, combined with global streaming and worldwide licensing across the Gundam brand, further supported earnings.
