PLAYSTUDIOS A DL-,0001

Playstudios deemed the financial performance targets for the 2025 PSUs unmet, causing awards to CEO Andrew Pascal and other executives to lapse. The company reported declining revenue (−18.8% to $235.1 million), a loss of $0.23 per share and a stock plunge of 61% to $0.49. New performance-based equity packages were granted for 2026 to the same managers (including 625,000 units for Andrew Pascal), with payouts of 0–100% of the PSUs depending on target achievement; settlement is scheduled for March 2027. Playstudios also announced the closure of four of nine studios, a 27% reduction in staff and its second restructuring in under three years; analyst Craig-Hallum cut the price target to $1.00 but maintained a “Buy” rating. » Más en de.investing.com
