Ubisoft is, shockingly worth only 2.67 Billion USD

[Bryank75]

According to the current stock price, the company is worth 2.67 Billion USD

It just shows how a combination of markets downward trend and Ubisofts poor recent performance has collapsed the stock from 20 dollars per share back in Jan 2021, down to just over 4 dollars currently.

I am not a financial adviser but I think it's a great time to buy.

Only 2.67 billion? Sheesh, makes you think that anyone could afford to buy it. Hell maybe I'll get a second job at McDonalds and see if I can rustle up enough change to swing it /s

In all reality they've made many poor decisions over the past like 5 years which is entirely the fault of management. So as long as they don't change course I'd be skeptical of a turnaround.

They are also only on OTC or France exchange so you would have to use non registered accounts to buy here in Canada

Ummm, ordinary shares are at $20. Which symbol you looking at here?

There's a great stable of IPs in there that are thoroughly mismanaged. In the right hands they could be shaped into some stellar games.

Ubisoft is successful like them or not. All these AssCreed games are super successful way beyond what you think they would be. I’m sick of most of their shit now but this is still how it is.

They have a lot of hit and misses. Their two most successful online games are Rainbow Six and … shockingly … For Honor. Both have done well for years now and in Rainbow Six’s case … one of the top 10 most successful console games in the industry.

I do wonder why they’re not is a better position but after catching wind of the disasters that were the Prince of Persia remake, that sea warfare game, and Beyond Good and Evil being a waste of effort on vaporware… yea they need to clean up their act.

If Activision does go to MS… it totally puts Ubisoft in the position to go for the top spot amongst 3rd parties.

Or those stellar games could be made as new IPs, without all the baggage from a decade and a half of franchise milking by UBI.

Ubisoft had a good thing going when Assassin's Creed was on a yearly release cycle. EA had Fifa/Madden, Acti had COD, and Ubisoft had Assassin's Creed. The latest Assassin's creed should've came out last year and they would be doing just fine, Valhalla was their most successful AC by revenue.

Once they get their production back in order they can make AC their cash cow again to start funding their other franchises.

Someone tell Vivendi. Lol, just kidding, there's no way they want that stink pile anymore.

They used to have so much going on...

Ghost Recon was amazing when they brought out GRAW and the sequel. Splinter Cell Double Agent and even the more action based newer games were really good but now they are obsessed with making an online GAAS version.

AC was a top action game, as you say, on a yearly cycle....

Then they'd have some odd, more creative things going on.

Dunno why they had to homogenize it all..... made it all boring.

That's part of the reason I like exclusive games, if everything is everywhere and everyone is copying everyone else....it all just becomes boring.

I mean, look at Suicide Squad!

Don't ubisoft own rayman? That's worth 2.6 billion on its own.

I think they're going to be picked up by someone very soon. I bet Embracer and Tencent are licking their lips.

I think Tencent invested in them. Though given how large and bloated they are, along with all of their internal scandals, who would want to absorb that headache?

Zenimax had a scandal = purchased
Activision had a scandal = Purchased
Twitter had a scandal = Purchased

See a pattern?

Ubi own Rayman, Anno, Settlers, Ass creed, Far cry, Watchdogs. A bit of polish and a revamp and they're well worth 3.5 billion. Edit and prince of persia (thanks @Shmunter)

As a Ubisoft fanboy, they've tried following the trends and all this free to play garbage and it simply hasn't worked for them at all. Then add in all the sexual shit, management and leadership issues along with a lot of talent (Ashraf Ismail was screwed over in my opinion) leaving and well, here we are. Shame because they have a shit ton of great IP's that are just wasting away. They recently cancelled a bunch of titles and im really hoping that my Immortals Fenyx Rising sequel wasn't one of them.

Obviously, im hoping that Microsoft acquires them next once the entire ABK acquisition wraps up and yes, I want them and would have easily preferred them over ABK. Rumors have it that they were looking to sell and everyone they went to said no which I do find hilarious because for $6B (I usually just double the market cap number), Ubisoft would be a steal. If not Microsoft at some point down the line, my money is on Amazon or Tencent to acquire Ubisoft.

 

[Shmunter]

Lots of IP there. Prince of Persia itself is a cool SP concept.

I don’t think you can buy any company at the market value.
Market value doesn’t take a lot of company assets and IPs.

They really didn't. After 4 it was all downhill to the point where they purposely stopped doing the yearly releases and instead revamped the whole series with Origins, releasing three successful games which had an entirely different play-style and two year release cycle. This fixed their AC problem, though the latest title has experienced delays related to, probably, a combo of Covid, Ubi-bloat and Ubi-infighting about what the franchise should be like. Now though, they are going to run this shit into the ground with no fewer than three differently focused AC titles releasing within the same two year period (an old-style AC set in Baghdad, a new-style AC set in the age of witch hunts and a "different"-style game set in feudal Japan.) Any one of those on its own could be good but they are absolutely going to cannibalize sales like that and dilute the brand to nothing-ness.

Anyways, as alluded to above, I think Ubisoft is fucked. Believe it or not I keep a big chart of what studios each publisher owns and what games they are working on and Ubisoft just.... it just can't stop spending on shitty tax-payer funded support studios that have headcounts in the hundreds and yet don't actually put out games on their own. The smart move would be mass layoffs but, and this is just suspicions based on experience here, I don't think that Ubisoft actually can do that at their newer, shittier, locations without breaking employment/tax deals they've signed with local governments. Those albatross studios literally have to stay around Ubi's neck or else they will owe taxes and fees on things they otherwise were not being taxed on. And the fact that they don't let individual studios have recognizable brands or control their own IP (outside of Red Storm and even then...) means that the parts of it that are good aren't as marketable as they otherwise should be. They have no equivalent to "a Rare game", "a Naughty Dog game", "a Bioware game", "a Rocksteady game."

A decade ago everyone was rooting for the Guillemonts to fight off that Vivendi acquisition. These days I think people should actively be rooting for a buyout from, well, anyone (I don't think any of the three traditional platform owners are interested, though I guess I could see people rooting against a bid from, like, Amazon or Netflix.)
