Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

everplay Group ( (GB:EVPL) ) has provided an update.

Everplay Group reported flat 2025 revenue of £166m after exiting low-margin physical distribution, but delivered stronger profitability, with gross profit up 10%, adjusted EBITDA up 11% and profit before tax rising 44% on improved margins and an 80% jump in new-release revenues. Back catalogue titles still generated 75% of sales, cash ended the year at £51.9m after acquisitions and higher development spend, and the board raised the full-year dividend to 2.9p per share.

Operationally, the group launched 11 new titles, secured new platform partnerships with Netflix Games, Apple Arcade, Amazon Game Night and Nintendo Switch 2, and acquired IP including the Hammerwatch franchise while taking a minority stake in Super Media Group. Divisions were mixed, with strong growth at Team17 and StoryToys offset by weaker astragon revenues, but management highlights a robust 2026 pipeline of at least 15 new games and apps, including key first-party IP launches, underpinning confidence in another year of profitable growth in line with market expectations.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:EVPL) stock is a Hold with a £326.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on everplay Group stock, see the GB:EVPL Stock Forecast page.
