Doubledown Interactive Co ( (DDI) ) has issued an announcement.

DoubleDown Interactive Co., Ltd. has appointed KPMG Samjong Accounting Corp. as its new independent registered public accounting firm to audit its consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending Dec. 31, 2026, following an audit committee decision on Feb. 13, 2026. The move aligns DoubleDown’s auditor with that of its Korean controlling shareholder DoubleU Games Co., Ltd., after Korean regulators designated KPMG as DoubleU’s external auditor for 2026, and signals a coordinated audit approach across the group.

In connection with KPMG’s engagement, Samil PricewaterhouseCoopers will be dismissed as DoubleDown’s auditor for 2026 once it completes the audit of the company’s 2025 financial statements and the related Form 20-F filing. The company reported no disagreements or reportable events with PwC for fiscal years 2023–2025, and PwC confirmed it agrees with DoubleDown’s description of the auditor change, suggesting a routine transition rather than a response to accounting or audit disputes.

The most recent analyst rating on (DDI) stock is a Buy with a $10.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Doubledown Interactive Co stock, see the DDI Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on DDI Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, DDI is a Outperform.

The score is driven primarily by strong financial quality (high margins, low leverage, solid free cash flow) and an attractive valuation (very low P/E). These positives are tempered by weak technical momentum (below key moving averages with negative MACD) and earnings-call risks around monetization pressure (lower ARPP) and higher costs despite otherwise solid operating performance.
