GLUU fair value to be on par with industry: $6.3
GLUU – Price Target $6.3 to be on par with industry $12.9 based on celebrity games’ sales ONLY, and 10% growth $9.8 based on celebrity games’ sales ONLY, and 0% growth
My price target $11.3 0% growth for celebrity games Estimating an annual revenue of $70M from other games 130% upside
GLUU - Risk1. KP and KKJ games don’t do as well as KKw
2. GLUU doesn’t not reach 400M social reach by 2016
3. Mobile games market slows down
4. Celebrity games saturation
If above assumptions occur
5. Price target changed to $6.3 to be on par with P/S industry average1. 29% upside potential
