Improving

A sharp rebound in net income and margins in Q4 reverses the downward trend seen in Q2 and Q3 of fiscal 2026.

The company is transitioning toward a 'Games-as-a-Service' model to drive long-term player engagement, though it faces a 'plateau of maturity' requiring new IP for significant incremental growth.
