Ubisoft: Deutsche Bank cuts target price
(CercleFinance.com) - On Friday Deutsche Bank lowered its target price for Ubisoft shares from E15 to E13, ahead of the video game group's Q3 sales release on 13 February.
The broker, which maintains a 'hold' recommendation on the stock, points out that the company recently reduced its projections for the quarter ended December, due to disappointing sales of its 'Outlaws' title.
At the same time, Ubisoft had also announced a further one-month postponement of its highly-anticipated game 'Assasin's Creed Shadows', whose launch is now scheduled for 20 March, the analyst recalls.
Deutsche Bank believes that the success of this release will prove 'crucial' for Ubisoft's future, which, since 2022, has chosen to refocus on its core assets.
If the stock performs well and if the Guillemots validate this strategy, then speculation about a takeover of the company should subside, disappointing those who were betting on the scenario of an acquisition of the company, DB concludes.
