Playtika shares fall on report of SuperPlay sale talks with Tencent
Deals & M&A · SectorWire deskSource published Updated
Summary
Playtika shares fell nearly 8% in midday trading on Monday after Calcalist reported the company is in talks to sell its SuperPlay unit to Tencent in a deal valuing the studio at $1bn to $1.5bn. Playtika bought SuperPlay in September 2024 for an initial $700m, with contingent payments that could reach $1.25bn, and forecast $829m in future contingent payments at the end of Q1. The timing of any formal deal is unclear.
Why it matters
A SuperPlay sale to Tencent would shift the studio's contingent payment burden and reshape Playtika's balance sheet.
