Analyst projections of the future price of Vivendi stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Gameloft’s third-quarter revenue rose 6.1% organically, with PC and console games making up 49% of nine-month sales. New releases and updates could help sustain this momentum. (Business Wire)
Vivendi’s financial net debt fell to €1.279 billion at the end of September from €1.591 billion three months earlier. The reduction eases balance-sheet pressure and gives the group more room to manage its financing. (Business Wire)
Vivendi’s roughly 10% stake gives it meaningful exposure to Universal Music Group, whose third-quarter revenue rose more than 12% and adjusted EBITDA reached €729 million. Stronger UMG results could support the value of Vivendi’s largest listed investment. (Investing.com)
Despite reported nine-month revenue growth of 2.1%, revenue fell 2.6% at constant currency and perimeter. That underlying decline suggests the recent improvement has yet to become broad-based growth. (Business Wire)
The value of Vivendi’s UMG stake fell to €2.593 billion at the end of September from €4.041 billion at year-end 2025. This shows how a fall in one major listed holding can weigh heavily on its portfolio value. (Business Wire)
The European Commission has issued additional objections over Vivendi’s early implementation of the Lagardère acquisition. If found in breach, Vivendi could face a fine of up to 10% of its global annual revenue. (Reuters)
