> Nintendo said its operating profit rose 150.5% to 142.6 billion yen in the April-June quarter. The Japanese games maker exceeded analyst estimates with the sharp increase. It attributed the result to brisk demand for software for the Switch 2. Refunds of U.S. tariffs also helped support the quarter’s profit.
