Solid Q2, focus turns to upcoming releases

Q2 results were broadly in line with underlying expectations. Management acknowledged that Fortnite is impacting engagement across several franchises but Activision Publishing bookings held up. King bookings missed consensus but evidence of the risk in that segment had increased in the run up to results. With a number of games expected to be released over the next 18 months, we expect the focus to be on the potential for these to drive growth.
