In April 2025, the European market is grappling with significant volatility as higher-than-expected U.S. trade tariffs have led to sharp declines in major stock indexes, including an 8.44% drop in the STOXX Europe 600 Index—the largest in five years. Amidst this uncertainty, investors may find opportunities by focusing on stocks that are potentially undervalued due to broader market pressures rather than company-specific issues.

As a gamer, I would not touch this company now. They are hated by the community and have been releasing major flops on their AAA games during the last 5 years (for good reasons). It is true that the valuation is ridiculously low compared to what the licenses are worth, but if the trend continues the value of those will also decline. Management needs to almost make a 180° turnaround to get things right. I agree that a take-private deal before it is too late might be the best option for an investor entering today. We might also see a split sales of the different studios. It is a very risky play, but potentially with high reward.
