Winston Score History

The full picture

Ubisoft is a French video game company that makes and sells games for consoles, PC, and mobile devices. Its most well-known franchises include Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, Rainbow Six, and Just Dance. The company sells to everyday consumers worldwide and is one of the larger independent game publishers in Europe.

Ubisoft earns money by selling games outright and through ongoing in-game purchases, downloadable content, and subscriptions like Ubisoft+. It operates globally, with major studios across France, Canada, and other countries, and generates revenue in most major gaming markets. However, the company is currently under significant financial pressure — its negative gross and operating margins show it is spending more than it earns — and the key risk ahead is whether upcoming major releases, particularly new Assassin's Creed titles, can reverse a string of disappointing sales and restore investor confidence in its ability to compete against larger publishers like EA and Take-Two.

Revenue declining

UBISOFT Entertainment's revenue is actually shrinking. In a growth stock, that removes the core investment thesis. The low Winston Score here may be warranted — unless there's a turnaround story.

The Winston Score above measures business quality today. Growth stocks often score lower because they invest in the future rather than maximising current profits. These metrics show what matters most for evaluating that future.
