Unity Software stock price target raised to $29 by Wells Fargo

Investing.com - Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC) raised its price target on Unity Software (NYSE:U) to $29.00 from $24.00 on Thursday, while maintaining an Equal Weight rating on the stock. Unity, currently trading at $31.92 with a market capitalization of $13.27 billion, has demonstrated remarkable momentum with a 129% return over the past year. According to InvestingPro analysis, the stock appears slightly overvalued at current levels.

The firm cited Unity’s second-quarter revenue guidance of $440-450 million, which brackets the consensus estimate of $448 million but falls slightly below buy-side expectations of $455 million at the high end. Wells Fargo noted that Unity’s revenue has outperformed the high end of guidance by 4 percentage points on average over the last four quarters. The company maintains strong financial health with a healthy current ratio of 2.74 and impressive gross margins of 74.83%.

Management expects a slight sequential decline in Create revenue, driven by a $12 million one-time contract benefit from the second quarter rolling off, while Grow revenue is projected to increase mid-single digits quarter-over-quarter. The Unity Ad Network is expected to grow at least 10% sequentially, compared to non-Unity Ad Network revenue remaining flat. Want deeper insights?

Wells Fargo’s fiscal year 2025 estimates remain largely unchanged, while fiscal year 2026 revenue and EBITDA forecasts increased by 1% and 5% respectively, primarily due to higher expectations for Grow and Unity Ad Network performance.

The new $29 price target implies 9.0x 2027 estimated Create revenue of $703 million and 16.0x 2027 estimated Grow EBITDA of $450 million.

In other recent news, Unity Software reported impressive financial results for the second quarter of 2025, surpassing analyst forecasts with earnings per share (EPS) of $0.18, which was 38.46% higher than the anticipated $0.13. Revenue for the quarter reached $441 million, exceeding expectations by $14.2 million. JMP Securities responded by raising its price target for Unity Software to $35 from $30, maintaining a Market Outperform rating. Needham also increased its price target to $40 from $30, citing Unity’s better-than-expected performance and strategic positioning in the mobile gaming ecosystem. Jefferies mirrored this sentiment, raising its price target to $40 due to the momentum in Unity’s Vector platform, with Unity Ads showing a 15% quarter-over-quarter growth. Oppenheimer maintained a Perform rating, noting mixed results from the Vector platform but acknowledging the 15% growth in Unity’s Ad Network. These developments highlight the positive reception from analysts following Unity’s strong quarterly performance.
