Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 66% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published September 4, 2025
Shares dropped hard after hours and look very beaten down. Many investors likely sold in a rush, but overall interest in the company remains solid. A news miss on turning content into cash hurt the mood. Gaming and music should help steady results. The recent price trend is weak, so this is a short-term bounce idea over about 3 months if management steadies execution and demand returns to normal.
Primary drivers
- Price looks washed out after a rush of selling, setting up a rebound
- Investor interest remains firm even after the drop in after-hours
- Upcoming games and music releases can backstop revenue and profit
- Improved day-to-day execution is needed to keep any recovery going
