everplay group (AIM:EVPL)
Simply Wall St Financial Health Rating: ★★★★★★
Overview: Everplay Group PLC, along with its subsidiaries, develops and publishes independent video games for both digital and physical markets in the United Kingdom and internationally, with a market cap of £528.78 million.
Operations: The company generates revenue of £166.62 million from its segment dedicated to the development and publication of games and apps.
Market Cap: £528.78M
Everplay Group PLC has recently expanded its portfolio by acquiring the Hammerwatch franchise, enhancing its first-party IP footprint and creating potential new revenue streams. Despite a past decline in earnings by 17.4% annually over five years, Everplay became profitable last year, with short-term assets significantly exceeding liabilities. The company is debt-free and maintains stable weekly volatility at 7%. However, Everplay's board lacks experience with an average tenure of 1.9 years. Its return on equity is low at 7.7%, but it trades below estimated fair value, indicating potential for future growth as earnings are forecast to increase annually by 11.21%.
