The Pokémon Company Reports Biggest Year Ever in 2026

If you feel like Pokémon is everywhere right now – from Giants baseball games to Super Bowl commercials, to even Target for the special Pokémon 30th celebration, then that might be because it is. Indeed, the Pokémon Company just had its biggest year ever by a wide margin.

For the fiscal year ending in February of 2026, the media franchise earned a record-breaking $800 million USD net profit, representing nearly double the profit recorded the previous year. See the company’s profit data represented for each year from 2014-2026.

And while net profit of $800 million is insane enough, the company also posted a combined revenue total of a staggering $3.54 Billion USD. These numbers are being pulled from the "Financial Statement Announcement" published in the Official Gazette on June 1st. Despite being a private company, Japan has strict requirements for sharing financial info with the public.

What is driving Pokémon Company’s revenue growth?

The report doesn’t go into specific breakdowns of the company’s revenue. However, it’s not hard to imagine what’s primarily driving the growth. The Pokémon craze continues to grow hotter, not cool down. While many pointed to the pandemic for the reason for the trading card game market’s growth, the bubble did not end with the pandemic. New TCGs pop up and succeed all the time, while demand for the Pokémon TCG is arguably higher than ever, furthering the franchise’s moat as the overall #1 Trading Card Game in the world.

And given the excitement we are seeing for things to come the rest of the year – like the recently announced Pokémon TCG: 30th Celebration set – things are only going to get bigger from here on out.
