Ubisoft shares fell 15% to €19.78, the biggest decline since Jan. 12, 2023, as of 10:28 a.m. in Paris.

The company reported adjusted operating income of €401 million in the fiscal year that ended in March and forecast slight growth this year.

Guidance for the current year “is likely to disappoint,” CIC Markets analyst Eric Ravary said in a note. CIC Markets cut its adjusted operating income forecast for the period from €471 million to €412 million.

Ubisoft plans to release two anticipated games, Assassin’s Creed Shadows and Star Wars Outlaws, in the current fiscal year.
