What are Wall Street analysts saying about Zynga stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Zynga stock:
- 1. Jefferies Financial Group Inc analysts commented, "We hosted CFO Beverly Hills. With strong 1Q results as a backdrop (best margin in 6 yrs), Mr. Griffin took a confident tone and we feel incrementally more confident around our ’18 and ’19 estimates. It’s a simple concept: bookings growth will increasingly flow to the bottom line as operating costs are held flat. New games are coming in all four categories, but these won’t move the needle until 2019. Continued progress against achieving 20% EBITDA margin at some point in 2018. In 1Q ZNGA posted 17% margin, the highest level we’ve seen since 2Q’12. Topline growth will come from a mix of 1) existing mobile games like CSR2, where solid growth is being somewhat offset by the legacy web biz (12% of revs); 2) new games and 3) some smaller M&A, which would have a similar blueprint to recent tuck ins."
