Sega is best performing Japanese stock, seeing massive increase in value and market confidence

Sega is the best performing stock on the Japanese Topix index for the second quarter in a row, it was revealed today. Bloomberg is reporting that the share price has leaped a massive 135% in the past six months.

The focus of the company shifting to multi-platform development and publishing, combined with its ditching of the loss-heavy Dreamcast console production, has seen the value of the firm hit an all time high.

The company has also seen benefit from the stay-at-home mentality that has boosted entertainment technology companies over the past few months. The markets are of the opinion that people will start to want more home-based entertainment means, following the September 11th attacks. Sega, arguably the most centralized of all games producers, combined with its online savvy, has reaped huge benefit from this trend.
