Ubisoft Announces Ubisoft Quartz
2021-12-07 17:00:00
Ubisoft announced Ubisoft Quartz, a new platform for players to acquire Digits, the first NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) playable in an AAA game and running on energy-efficient technology. Launching in beta with Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon® Breakpoint on Ubisoft Connect for Windows PC, Digits will be released as part of limited Editions, each composed of a fixed number of cosmetic items. Digits are a new way to experience cosmetic items, combining the fun of playing with AAA quality assets and the thrill of owning NFTs that represent unique, collectible pieces of Ubisoft game worlds. Digits are collectible in-game vehicles, weapons, and pieces of equipment that offer players unprecedented ways to connect with and enjoy more value from the games they love: Uniqueness: Each Digit is a unique collectible that features its own serial number for others to see in-game, also keeping track of its current and previous owners for years to come, making players an integral part of the game’s history. Playability: Digits are high-quality in-game collectibles with active utility value. As playable cosmetic items, Digits provide players the ability to personalize their experience and complete their missions with style. Control: Each Digit comes with a certificate of ownership stored on blockchain, a decentralized, community-driven technology independent from Ubisoft, which grants players more control than ever. With Digits, items are no longer bound to a player’s game inventory since they can be put on sale for other eligible players to acquire on third-party platforms outside of the Ubisoft ecosystem. This large-scale experiment is the next step in Ubisoft’s four-year exploration of blockchain technology through in-house research and development and close collaboration with renowned specialists within the startup ecosystem.

Their positive income, growth, and value factors indicate that it is likely to continue to produce impressive results for the foreseeable future, as well.

Technical Analysis
When trying to optimize the timing of an investment, it's critical to analyze whether the stock looks overbought or oversold, and in which direction the momentum is moving. Ubisoft's stock is now priced above its 50-day and 200-day, but below its 5-day moving average, while its MACD (moving average convergence divergence) indicates that the stock's price movement momentum is strengthening. Historically, this is a positive setup in the medium and long-term. In particular, many institutional investors keep close watch of the 200-day moving average. Meanwhile, looking at the Stochastic Oscillator and RSI (relative strength index), Ubisoft's stock indicates that it's likely oversold. Overall, these technical indicators signal positive upward momentum. Therefore, this stock received a cumulative TA (technical analysis) score of 73.

Balance Sheet Analysis
All in all, looking at the balance sheet, Ubisoft's financial health appears good. Ubisoft's balance sheet neither stood out as being particularly strong or weak relative to its peers. Ubisoft reported a positive trendline in their cash and cash equivalents metrics. Specifically, they reported that cash and cash equivalents were 1.5B, representing 11.7% change from the last report. Its impressive cash and cash equivalents metrics should support upward pressure on its's stock price. The company's cash and cash equivalents movement, therefore, received a grade of 76. Also, Ubisoft publishes solid book value factor metrics in this report. Price to book ratio (P/B) now sits at 3.2 and represents a -14.8% change from the previous report. Their industry-leading book value factors momentum reinforces an expectation for future positive momentum for their stock price going forward. Therefore, its book value factors earned a score of 74. That said, one metric, Liabilities, stood out as particularly concerning. Ubisoft's liabilities stood at 3.2B in the current filing, which represents a 4.6% change from the previous report. Ubisoft's liabilities changes appear mediocre compared to their peers. Contextually, they convey that management finds balancing asset growth, resource allocation, and liabilities challenging. Discouraging results like these statistically lead to negative movement in stock prices, so we rated their liabilities movement component 51. Therefore, it received a score of 74.
| Parameter | Value | Change | Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| Assets | 5.0B | 4.2% | 64 |
| Liabilities | 3.2B | 4.6% | 51 |
| Price to Book | 3.2 | -14.8% | 74 |

Income Statement Analysis
Ubisoft seems to be balancing strong Revenue Efficiency and EBITDA along with an overall impressive positive income statement. Ubisoft's financials reveal an interesting trend for their revenue efficiency. This characteristic can affect companies in the same industry and market capitalization by up to 9.4%. Their industry-leading revenue efficiency makes a strong case for upward pressure on its's stock price. Consequently, their revenue efficiency received a grade of 90. Also, Ubisoft's management did a remarkable job this period managing its EBITDA. In terms of the raw numbers, EBITDA was reported as 471.0M, which represents a 44.4% change from the last period. Companies in the same industry and market capitalization are typically affected by this parameter by up to 21.7%. Its EBITDA metrics highlight an impressive overall financial performance, which is expected to continue moving forward. The company's EBITDA movement, therefore, received a grade of 86. That said, one metric, Return Factors, stood out as strongly negative. In this filing, Ubisoft reported a return on equity (ROE) ratio of 4.6, which represents a growth of -11.5%. This metric might have a 5.2 percent impact on companies in the same industry and with the same market capitalization. These numbers show that management has been unsuccessful in fostering appropriate growth related to return on assets and return on equity momentum relative to their peers. Its return factors (ROA & ROE) components, therefore, received a grade of 57. Because its management is doing an excellent job managing these critical metrics, the income statement was given a score of 84.
| Parameter | Value | Change | Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| EBITDA | 471.0M | 44.4% | 86 |
| Total Revenues | 2.1B | -4.2% | 90 |
| Return on Equity | 4.6 | -11.5% | 57 |

Cash Flow Analysis
Overall, Ubisoft's critical cash flow metrics appear to signal strong support and a high likelihood of positive growth going into the next quarters. Ubisoft's management did a great job this period managing its capital expenditure (CapEx). In terms of the raw numbers, CapEx was reported as -66.8M, which represents a 11.1% change from the last period. This performance is all the more impressive relative to their peers and competitors. Therefore, its CapEx movement component earned a score of 83. Also, Ubisoft is doing a remarkable job of keeping its asset turnover under control. At filing, their asset turnover metrics were 0.4, representing a -14.0% change from the previous period.
