BMO Capital has adjusted its outlook on Ubisoft Entertainment SA (UBI: FP) (OTC: UBSFY (OTC:UBSFY)), reducing the price target from €22.00 to €20.00 while maintaining an Outperform rating on the stock.
The revision comes in response to Ubisoft's recent announcement of lowered financial guidance for the second fiscal quarter and fiscal year 2025.
Ubisoft's updated guidance reflects the impact of several developments within the company. The initial performance of "Star Wars Outlaws" has been softer than expected, contributing to the revised projections.
Additionally, the delay of the "Assassin's Creed Shadows" release from November 15 to February 14 has been factored into the financial outlook. A third contributing factor to the adjusted guidance is the minimal impact from the performance of "XDefiant."
In other recent news, Ubisoft Entertainment SA has had a dynamic period marked by significant analyst attention.

On the other hand, Exane BNP Paribas (OTC:BNPQY) downgraded Ubisoft's stock from "Outperform" to "Neutral," setting a new price target at €14.50 due to underperforming AAA titles and free-to-play games. The firm also lowered its sales forecasts for the game "Star Wars Outlaws" from 9 million to 6 million units.
TD Cowen maintained a Hold rating on Ubisoft but reduced the shares target from EUR27.00 to EUR23.00, following the postponement of two major mobile game releases to fiscal year 2026.
Meanwhile, Citi reaffirmed its Buy rating on Ubisoft, keeping a steady price target of EUR45.00, after Ubisoft's 2024 Forward event unveiled major upcoming releases.
