Keywords Studios - Strengthening position in an attractive market

Keywords has built an enviable position of strength, servicing a global games market expected to sustain 10% growth. Pockets of volatility, possibly related to the dramatic success of Fortnite create some near-term uncertainty, but we believe company’s strength of model and customer diversity will continue to enable the group to outgrow the games market in the medium to long term. At 36x FY19e earnings, strong growth is priced in, but continued execution should drive positive shareholder returns.
