In the said letter, Ensemble Capital highlighted a few stocks and Nintendo (NYSE:NTDOY) is one of them. Nintendo (NYSE:NTDOY) is a consumer electronics and video game company. Year-to-date, Nintendo (NYSE:NTDOY) stock gained 40.5% and on October 9th it had a closing price of $68.78. Here is what Ensemble Capital said:
“Nintendo: We initiated our position in Nintendo in April after having studied the company during much of 2019 and believing that the time spent by parents and their children playing video games during shelter in place would likely accelerate the mainstreaming of video games as a form of family entertainment, as opposed to being just games for children or intense, often violent, entertainment for young men. The company’s Switch video game console is not new, yet demand is so strong that the company’s main struggle has been trying to keep up with demand. The market recognizes the way that the pandemic is accelerating the mainstreaming of video games as family entertainment and sent the stock up 26% during the quarter.”
