CD Projekt: opening the next chapter (upgraded to BUY)

We have upgraded CD Projekt (CDR) to BUY (from Sell), and increased our 12M price target (PT) to PLN 289 (from PLN 157), which offers 17% potential upside. So far, CDR has proven successful in filling the “gap” years with surprising content and attractive newsflow. With a sound performance from the back catalogue and some new, undisclosed projects, we believe that CDR could continue this way through to 2027E, when we assume The Witcher 4 release, opening a new chapter. The supportive newsflow around The Witcher 4 and the strength of the IP have made us revise up our release year volumes assumption to 21.0m copies (from 16.2m). CDR is now trading in line with its peers on our 2025-28E average P/E.
