The news check keeps the assessment current.

General analysis — not personal advice.

HOLD Partly clear

Hold if already owned. Consider adding only after clear signs of stabilized revenue/DAU and visible cost-savings flow-through (e.g., in Q2/Q3); otherwise keep position sizing small due to high execution risk.

Revenue decline in core titles persists despite record margins and cost savings, supporting retention of the HOLD signal.

Market sentiment Negative ↓
Trend: Declining

Sentiment is mixed to negative after the report, with analysts noting that the revenue miss is partly offset by stronger margins and cost savings.

Risk assessment High
Dilution: Low Net cash position, no sign of equity raise
Jurisdiction: Low Sweden-listed, low political risk
Execution: High Turnaround depends on new hits and stabilization
Cash flow: 24 mo

HOLD is the call. Negative is the market mood. High risk means a lot can go wrong.
