Playstudios: Few Positives Aside From Its Cheap Valuation

Summary Playstudios management's FY25 guidance points to year-over-year declines in both revenue and adjusted EBITDA. Key platform metrics point to underlying issues with the company's rewards platform. The sweepstakes initiative, which is set to launch later this year, is a key catalyst that could drive meaningful upside to current estimates.

Playstudios: A Gamble In Diversification Amid Prevailing Industry Challenges

Summary Playstudios focuses on social casino games but has expanded into non-social mobile games, raising questions about its diversification strategy. Concerns about the diversification strategy are amplified by the insights that SciPlay, a comparable business, succeeded by concentrating on its core social casino business, contrasting with Playstudios' diversification efforts. MYPS streamlined operations to cut costs by 10% and has a strong history of share buybacks, benefiting shareholders. MYPS's EBITDA growth relies on ARPDAU, but this strategy may not be sustainable in a fragmented industry with the company's limited pricing power. The stock is undervalued and cash-rich, but industry challenges and diversification concerns make it a hold. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Playstudios: Massively Undervalued

Playstudios has been hit in the short term by changing behavioral trends. Playstudios retains its loyal customer base. Playstudios' valuation is due for a massive upside. Introduction In the last 6 months, PLAYSTUDIOS, Inc. (MYPS) has declined 11.3% as a result of the economy worsening and changing behavioral trends. However, the company still has very solid fundamentals and its valuation remains due for a massive upside. Company Overview Playstudios is a free-to-play casual online video game company, which before focused mainly on casino mobile games. More recently, however, they are known for having obtained exclusive rights to Tetris last November. The company makes nearly all its revenue from in-game store purchases along with advertisements. According to Straits Research, the Video Game market was worth $119 billion in 2021, with an attractive 12.3% 8-year CAGR. Rough Earnings Playstudios' Q2 earnings were not pretty. Revenue was $68.4 million, a decline of 3.4% YoY and missing expectations by $3.25 million. The company expects its 2022 revenue to be in the range of $270 to $285 million, which would mean between a 7% to a 1.3% decline compared to 2021. However, this is to be expected. Gaming activity as a whole has slowed down, and it's hard to beat the records that were set in atypical market conditions. However, they did report EPS of $0.04, which beat expectations by $0.05 Sound Fundamentals With Playstudios' revenue stemming from in-game purchases, seeing high daily and monthly active users is vital to understanding the health of the company. Although gaming at large has seen a decline, management reported that in Q2 2022, DAU saw an increase of 17.2% YoY and MAU saw an increase of 54.4% YoY. Playstudios can likely base its success in such a tumultuous time on its loyal player base. Its enduring franchises will secure the confidence of investors even in a depressive economy. With user activity numbers, it becomes clear that Playstudios saw its revenue decline because of reduced amounts of consumer discretionary spending (vs players disliking their games). This means that Playstudios revenue could quickly pick up again as the economy recovers. In addition, investors might be overly bearish on the growth prospects of Playstudios by comparing it to other triple-A publishers. Playstudios' catalog largely contains casual games, which a lot of the time are played in the outside world (on subways, waiting in lines, etc.) Therefore, any headwinds to its business will be less felt compared to the rest of the gaming industry. Valuation As a gaming company with plenty of growth ahead, a 1.76 P/S ratio by itself is incredibly low. However, I'll still be using it in my valuation model just to be conservative. Assuming Playstudios grows its revenue at an 8-year CAGR of 12.3% (along with the rest of the market) that puts its revenue at $717.8 million in 8 years. Applying its current 1.76x P/S ratio, which gives us a market cap of $1.263 billion. Discounting this figure back to today (with a discount rate of 10.5%) gives us a price target of $5.04, still a 21.1% upside despite using such a conservative P/S ratio. Not to mention, its valuation remains a perfect take-over candidate. Yahoo Finance My price target is closely supported by other analysts tracked by Yahoo Finance. With a range between $4 and $7, and an average of $5.84 (a 40.3% upside). Insider Buying The CEO of Playstudios, Andrew Pascal, bought the stock three times in June of 2022 totaling over 30,000 shares. Even when the stock fell from $6.3 to $4.56, the CEO continued buying, showing his conviction.

Getting Played By Playstudios

Up until a few days ago, MYPS was one of my highest conviction investments. The conference call dashed my hopes. Drastically lowered guidance has naturally lowered intrinsic value, the inputs for which I first based off of their initial projections not even a year ago. I feel lied to. Or they were disastrously wrong about the prospects for their own company. Either way, it's not good. All that notwithstanding, I am holding my position. Huge insider purchases and the optionality for several new revenue streams keep me interested.

Playstudios: Years Of Double-Digit Growth At A Great Price

I have written much about and have invested heavily in what I consider to be the most under-appreciated megatrend of our time: all things videogaming. Playstudios stands out among peers due to their unique loyalty program that offers real-world rewards for in-game play. Playstudios checks all the boxes: macro tailwinds, founder-led, strong product, compelling valuation.
