Monster Hunter World – In an Odd Twist, Capcom Shares Drop Precipitously After PC Release Announcement

The Financial Times (subscription only – see link below) is reporting that Capcom’s shares dropped nearly 13% on the same day that the company announced the PC release date for Monster Hunter World. The drop came after Bank of America Merrill Lynch downgraded Capcom’s stock rating to “underperforming”. The company cited “significant risk of sales decline” for Monster Hunter World just a month ahead of the Steam release.
