PCF Group: new strategy aims at flying high (stays BUY)

We maintain our BUY rating on PCF Group, while we have cut our 12M price target (PT) by 18% to PLN 52.9, which still offers 40% upside potential. The recent strategy update required major changes in our model assumptions, including higher exposure to self-publishing, the introduction of the Games as a Service (GaaS) model in two of the five AAA/compact AAA pipeline games, and greater headcount increases. The risk profile of the company has changed, in our view, with appealing medium-term opportunities, but also challenges and limited visibility, at least at this stage. While PCF has no track record in GaaS, as yet, we note the highly-experienced product leaders in PCF’s North American studios. We expect the first AAA/compact AAA releases to boost the results from 2025E.
