Embracer-aktiepris styrtdykker efter stor handel falder igennem

Embracer Group køber studier, IP'er og hele universer i form af The Lord of the Rings, men de var tydeligvis ved at sikre af en af deres største handler nogensinde. Men så skete der noget der unægteligt sker i denne konsolideringens æra en gang imellem - handlen faldt igennem.

Dette har ændret Embracers udsyn markant, så derfor har de været nødsaget til at forklare deres investorer i en meddelelse, at det får markante konsekvenser for virksomheden. Handlen var trods alt vurderet til over $2 milliarder:

"We have been working on one groundbreaking strategic partnership agreement that would have set a new benchmark for the gaming industry. Negotiations have been taking far longer than originally anticipated considering we had a verbal commitment already in October 2022. The specific deal included more than USD 2 billion in contracted development revenue over a period of six years."

De forklarer desuden yderligere hvor langt de faktisk var da det hele faldt til gulvet:

"All documentation was finalized and ready to go as of yesterday. We asked for the execution of the agreement before our Q4 announcement. However late last night we received a negative outcome from the counterparty. This decision was unexpected to the management and the Board of Directors of Embracer."

Aktieprisen er styrtdykket som resultat.
