Summary

  • Unity which has long been a source of wealth destruction is up by 64% and outperforming other tech and Russell 1000 peers by 2-3.5x since Matthew Bromberg took over as CEO.
  • Unity's turnaround is driven by new leadership, solid reductions in the cost base, better FCF, and the promising prospects of AI-powered Unity Vector and Unity 6.
  • Even though Unity is staring at a better EBITDA profile over the next 2 years we are not sure it warrants a valuation multiple of 45x, which is 50% higher than APPstock.
  • APP is poised to offer the same cadence of forward EBITDA growth while its EBITDA margin profile will still likely be around 3x higher than U by FY27.
  • Mean-reversion players who focus on the Video game landscsape will still be enthused by U's low relative strength ratio, but the stock looks overbought in the short term.
