Nintendo ranks 2 after many countries announced lockdowns. Nintendo Switch is company’s popular product. Nintendo raised its earnings forecast for the year ending march for the second time in 3 months and now expects a record net profit of 400 billion yen ($3.8 billion).
The quick upward reflects strong demand for the Switch console since the coronavirus outbreak, as lockdowns and a rising number of infections keep people at home and drive demand for games and other types of home entertainment such as online streaming (Nikkei).

Fast retailing ファーストリテイリング
The value of Fast Retailing, the Japanese parent of casual clothing chain Uniqlo, reached 10.87 trillion yen ($103 billion) at the end of trading Tuesday, putting it at the top of the global apparel industry in terms of market capitalization.
Shareholders like Fast Retailing's focus on Asia, especially China whose economy has recovered quickly from the coronavirus-triggered slump thanks to the government's containment efforts. The casual wear specialist is also viewed as well positioned to capitalize on the changing habits of consumers, who are more inclined to dress casually as telework spreads (Nikkei Asia).
