Unity Software Poised for Growth: A Buoyant Buy Rating Amidst Strategic Positioning and Revenue Upswing

Analyst Bernie McTernan of Needham reiterated a Buy rating on Unity Software (U – Research Report), retaining the price target of $31.00.

Bernie McTernan has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors including Unity Software’s strong first-quarter performance and the expectation of revenue growth in the second half of the year. McTernan’s analysis suggests that the company’s Create revenue will be the primary driver in the first half, with subsequent investments in performance and data utilization poised to accelerate Grow revenue in the latter half. The forecasted acceleration, coupled with anticipated margin expansion, leads to the projection that Unity will achieve the “rule of 40” by the fourth quarter and maintain this strong performance into 2025, bolstered by runtime fees and a full year of improved Grow performance.
Furthermore, with the appointment of a new CEO and the nearing end of a restructuring phase, McTernan believes that investor attention will soon return to Unity’s strategic market positioning within the gaming industry. The combination of these internal improvements and the company’s outlook in a dynamic sector underpins the rationale for the Buy rating and the maintained price target, reflecting optimism about the company’s future financial health and market performance.
