Ubisoft went through one of the worst financial sessions in its recent history. After announcing a deep restructuring, its shares plunged by as much as 39% in a single trading day.
The stock closed at 3.99 euros, its lowest value since 2011, and triggered every alarm in the European market for video games.
A historic drop that reflects years of deterioration
The stock market collapse exposed the cumulative decline of the French publisher in recent years. At its historic peak in July 2018, the share had reached 107.90 euros.
Even in January 2021, it was still trading near 85 euros. In just five years, Ubisoft lost around 95% of its value.
From global giant to minimal market capitalization
The company went from being worth about 11 billion euros to an approximate market capitalization of 616 million. The collapse reflects a combination of poor releases, delays, and loss of investor confidence.
