PLY: Incoming CFO Will Support Margins And Sustain Undervalued Outlook

Analysts have made only a marginal tweak to their PlaySide Studios valuation, trimming the fair value estimate to A$0.52 as small adjustments to the discount rate, revenue growth, profit margin and future P/E assumptions flow through their models. What's in the News PlaySide Studios has appointed Colin Lai as Chief Financial Officer, effective March 2, 2026, following the previously announced retirement of current CFO Darren Briggs at the October 2025 AGM (Key Developments).
