Expect Online Games To See High Single Digit Revenue Growth
We forecast Zynga’s Online Games revenues to grow in high single digits in 2018. Even though the company’s overall business has suffered over the past few years, its key gaming franchises, such as Zynga Poker, CSR 2, Farmville, and Wizard of Oz Slots continue to do well. These games account for more than half of the company’s revenues and the management plans to continue investing in them. Also, Zynga’s mobile business is showing promising trends, and saw a 10% jump in bookings in the previous quarter. Looking forward, the company will also benefit from its acquisitions, including Casual Cards, and Grant Games. Zynga recently acquired Grant Games for $250 million, and it will further its user base. The company’s popular titles include Merge Dragons! and 1010!, and are expected to add 3 million active users for Zynga. The company’s new game launches will also aid the advertising growth in the coming years. We currently forecast a low single digit growth for the company’s advertising revenues.
We expect the company to post adjusted earnings of $0.04 in 2018, and we currently have a $4 price estimate for Zynga, which implies a premium of around 10% to the current market price.
