....das Ubisoft ein interessanter Übernahmekandidat ist. Insgesamt performt Ubisoft besser als der Gesamtmarkt.
Natixis analyst Pavel Govciyan says : * Microsoft buys Mojang (Minecraft) for $ 2,5 billion * That is 35% to 45% above Ubisoft’s current share price * US groups keen to use their cash in Europe, might be interested in buying Ubisoft * Developers such as Activision or EA might be interested, as well as film studios such as Warner and Disney * Ubisoft is one of the best targets in the gaming sector * Ubisoft will make an ideal target out to 12/18 months * Ubisoft is in no rush, game launches in 2014 and 2015 will be complex marketing operations which would be incompatible with a post-merger reorganisation * Ubisoft and potential buyer will probably wait until the nextgen consoles cycle peaks (late 2015) to gauge the value of the latest franchises (The Crew and The Division), before considering a consolidation move.
In conclusion, Ubisoft is a very interesting target (nice catalogue), relatively cheap in the sector, but the analyst expects a possible bid will only take place within 12 to 18 months. (IF there is ANY bid of course)
