Playtika (PLTK): Evaluating Valuation After New NFL Crossover for World Series of Poker App

Simply Wall St

Playtika Holding (PLTK) just lined up a timely crossover, pairing its World Series of Poker app with the NFL for a limited run of football themed features, missions, and rewards through early 2026.

See our latest analysis for Playtika Holding.

That NFL crossover lands as Playtika tries to rebuild confidence, with a solid 1 month share price return of 13.35% and 3 month share price return of 15.56%, but a much weaker year to date share price return and 1 year total shareholder return, suggesting any momentum is still in the early stages.

If this kind of catalyst has you thinking beyond a single stock, it might be a good moment to explore fast growing stocks with high insider ownership for other potential movers worth watching.

With shares still down sharply over the past year, despite improving earnings and a sizable discount to analyst targets, the real question now is whether Playtika is a beaten down value opportunity or whether the market already anticipates its next phase of growth.

Most Popular Narrative: 29.8% Undervalued

With Playtika last closing at $4.16 versus a narrative fair value near $5.92, the valuation case leans on earnings expansion and higher margins over time.

Analysts expect earnings to reach $249.2 million (and earnings per share of $0.64) by about September 2028, up from $86.4 million today. However, there is some disagreement amongst the analysts with the more bearish ones expecting earnings as low as $221.3 million.
