Ubisoft Postpones Earnings Call, Halts Stock Trading Amid Speculation
17 Nov
Summary
- Ubisoft postponed its first-half 2025-2026 earnings call just 15 minutes before it was due to begin
- Ubisoft requested Euronext to halt trading of its shares and bonds until the results are published
- Ubisoft's CFO cited the need to "limit unnecessary speculation and market volatility" during the delay
On November 14, 2025, Ubisoft Entertainment SA took the industry by surprise when it postponed its first-half 2025-2026 earnings call just 15 minutes before it was set to begin. The company also requested that Euronext halt trading in its shares and bonds until the results are published, stating that the extra time was needed to finalize the semester close.
This unexpected suspension, combined with a memo from Ubisoft's CFO framing the pause as a measure to "limit unnecessary speculation and market volatility," has intensified investor concern and prompted analysts to speculate about potential accounting issues or possible acquisition interest.
Ubisoft has faced a turbulent year, with numerous project cancellations, including a cancelled post-American Civil War Assassin's Creed, an ambitious sci-fi project called Project Scout, and a new mainline Splinter Cell game that was reportedly in development for more than a decade. These recent developments, along with the leadership upheavals at the publisher, have further fueled the speculation surrounding the unexpected earnings call delay.
