Company Overview

Founded by a team of former gaming industry executives, PlayStudios (NASDAQ: MYPS) offers free-to-play digital casino games.

Revenue Growth

Reviewing a company’s long-term sales performance reveals insights into its quality. Any business can have short-term success, but a top-tier one grows for years. PlayStudios’s demand was weak over the last five years as its sales fell at a 2.7% annual rate. This was below our standards and is a sign of poor business quality.

We at StockStory place the most emphasis on long-term growth, but within consumer discretionary, a stretched historical view may miss a company riding a successful new product or trend. PlayStudios’s recent performance shows its demand remained suppressed as its revenue has declined by 13% annually over the last two years.

This quarter, PlayStudios missed Wall Street’s estimates and reported a rather uninspiring 18.3% year-on-year revenue decline, generating $55.4 million of revenue.

Looking ahead, sell-side analysts expect revenue to grow 3.2% over the next 12 months. Although this projection implies its newer products and services will spur better top-line performance, it is still below average for the sector.

Operating Margin

PlayStudios’s operating margin has risen over the last 12 months, but it still averaged negative 10.8% over the last two years. This is due to its large expense base and inefficient cost structure.

PlayStudios’s operating margin was negative 17.7% this quarter. The company's consistent lack of profits raise a flag.

Earnings Per Share

We track the long-term change in earnings per share (EPS) for the same reason as long-term revenue growth. Compared to revenue, however, EPS highlights whether a company’s growth is profitable.

PlayStudios’s full-year EPS turned negative over the last four years. We tend to steer our readers away from companies with falling revenue and EPS, where diminishing earnings could imply changing secular trends and preferences. Consumer Discretionary companies are particularly exposed to this, and if the tide turns unexpectedly, PlayStudios’s low margin of safety could leave its stock price susceptible to large downswings.

In Q4, PlayStudios reported EPS of negative $0.11, up from negative $0.18 in the same quarter last year. Despite growing year on year, this print missed analysts’ estimates. Over the next 12 months, Wall Street expects PlayStudios to perform poorly. Analysts forecast its full-year EPS of negative $0.23 will tumble to negative $0.28.

Key Takeaways from PlayStudios’s Q4 Results

We struggled to find many positives in these results. Its adjusted operating income missed and its EBITDA fell short of Wall Street’s estimates. Overall, this was a weaker quarter. The stock remained flat at $0.52 immediately after reporting.
