Nintendo Co. unveiled a 10-for-1 stock split from October, issuing an appeal to investors as the Mario creator struggles to revitalize a five-year-old Switch console and overcome a global chip shortage.

The Kyoto-based company projected full-year operating income below analysts’ estimates after reporting a mere 0.6% rise in profit for the March quarter. It’s expecting to sell 21 million Switch devices this year, shy of the 21.7 million anticipated.
