Sentiment was running hot in November of 2021, when
$Unity Software (U.US)$ stock was flirting with the $200 level. The stock had doubled in half a year’s time, and it surely seemed as if the good times would never end.
However, it’s when traders start asking, “What could possibly go wrong?” that things typically start to go wrong. U stock rolled over after topping out near $200, and recently sank into the $30s.
At least two prominent Wall Street experts seem to lean bearish against Unity Software.
First of all, Jefferies analyst Andrew Uerkwitz reduced his price objective on U stock from
$100 to $40. The Jefferies analyst cited “
bad proprietary customer data” as a problem and cautioned that Unity Software “needs to relearn using the correct data and this will take time.”Meanwhile, Stifel analyst J. Parker Lane chopped his price target on U stock down from
$150 to $100. The odd thing about all of this, though, is that Uerkwitz gave Unity Software an Outperform rating (which is similar to a Buy rating), and Lane gave U stock a “Buy” rating. So apparently, these two analysts aren’t entirely bearish on Unity Software.
Lane even went so far as to express high hopes for Unity Software, saying, “
Unity’s strong positioning in the mobile gaming space and growing set of monetization tools will help the company get back on track in a timely fashion, with revenue growth recovering as the year progresses.” $Meta Platforms (FB.US)$ $Roblox (RBLX.US)$ $Alphabet-A (GOOGL.US)$ $Sony (SONY.US)$ $Microsoft (MSFT.US)$
