Nintendo Co., the world’s biggest maker of game consoles, is probably too big to be included in the Nikkei 225 Stock Average this year, according to analysts at Nomura Holdings Inc. and Mizuho Financial Group Inc.
Nikkei Inc., which manages the equity benchmark, said last week it will consider adding some of the most active stocks listed on the Osaka Securities Exchange after the bourse merges with the Tokyo Stock Exchange on July 16. Nintendo, which counts Osaka as its primary exchange, jumped 7 percent on June 28, the day after the announcement.
