☆ Goldman Sachs says this global tech stock will soar as 'gaming-as-a-service' takes off
  + stars: | 2023-10-16 | by ( Ganesh Rao | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
Investors seeking exposure to Japan's growing gaming industry should look at technology and entertainment behemoth Sony , according to Goldman Sachs. Goldman expects shares of Sony Group Corporation to rise by 25% to 16,000 yen ($107) over the next 12 months. In addition, Goldman Sachs said there was significant growth potential for Crunchyroll, Sony's anime streaming service based in California, which it acquired in 2017. "Our team estimates that overseas markets will account for 80% of Japanese anime sales by 2036," the bank's report said. As earnings contributions from Crunchyroll and GaaS titles become more apparent starting in fiscal year 2025, Goldman Sachs sees an increase in consensus earnings estimates and valuation multiples.

It is an unexpected truce between Sony, which makes Playstation consoles, and its far larger U.S. rival. Details have yet to be disclosed, and it's not clear why Sony, which Microsoft earlier offered a 10-year contract, has had a change of heart. Sony's video-game division reported digital software and content sales of $11 billion in the fiscal year to March. Yoshida has been selectively snapping up smaller gaming studios to beef up Playstation content, including splashing out $3.6 billion for developer Bungie. Details were not disclosed, but a Microsoft spokesperson clarified with various media that the deal is for 10 years.

The stock has since pared losses slightly and was last trading at around 20 euros, down 16% from the Wednesday close. In a trading update on Wednesday, Ubisoft lowered net bookings guidance for the third quarter of 2022 to 725 million euros, down from an earlier target of 830 million euros. The company forecast full-year net bookings would likely fall 10% after an earlier projection called for an increase of 10%. Ubisoft said Wednesday that it would depreciate around 500 million euros of capitalized research and development and narrow its focus to fewer titles. The company hopes to cut costs by about 200 million euros through a mix of targeted restructuring, divestment of "non-core" assets, and employee attrition.
