For the quarterly results, the company came in above Canaccord’s estimates. For revenue they expected it to be €9.4 million, and adjusted EBITDA of €0.476 million. Canaccord expected that the quarter would be affected by the recent German regulatory changes more. While the price target change comes from the sector selling off over the last six months rather than a change in their thesis.
On the company’s upgraded guidance, they say that this reflects improving demand, specifically in Europe. They also attribute the increase to the companies recent Playtech acquisition and expect the company to continue to be conservative on its ramp-up in North America, which could provide some upside to their current revised guidance.
Lastly, Canaccord believes that the Bluberi deal supports the thesis that there is a demand for omnichannel experiences. They write, “We see this as an important trend in the gaming space with consumers looking for a seamless online/in-house experience featuring similar games on both platforms.”
