![]() One reason for recent increase in stock value (to their all-time high) is most likely hype around the new COD, which now a few weeks later on seems to have performed weaker (sales-wise) than expected and compared to some predecessors - which might worry shareholders further. I don't own any shares in ATVI, so I'm not very knowledgeable about it and the following is all speculation on my part.īut, if the new CEO has worse credentials or seems less solid in the shareholders eyes that could shake their faith to some extent - this would be the only impact the new CEO could have had,it's not like he's made 10 bad decisions since early October which have made the newspaper headlines or hurt the company. ![]() ![]() If by "extremely solid" you mean that it's been on an upward trend and made a number of <~15% dips over this year, then yes, but it's not like it's been a straight line upwards the whole time. Nowhere in my post do I say that the decline in stock price is random. (probably next WoW xpac + anything else happening on the diablo/starcraft/warcraft/overwatch front). Jay's claim to fame is "didn't completely butcher the golden goose (but got close several times)", whereas Jeff helmed and launched one of the biggest new gaming IP's in the past ten years.īut you wouldn't want your rockstar to start leading the company when you're heading into some bad earnings reports, so you let someone else be the punching bag and then you can rally the investors and the market by firing him in a year or two and appointing Jeff right as it's about to start raining money again. Jay is a really weak choice for CEO, especially when you have the much more charismatic, popular Jeff Kaplan who not only gives a much better speech but also has more than a single game under his belt at the company. ![]() It's really just overwatch left to prop up the earnings and that game can only do so much to make people buy more lootboxes. Yeah, there's not a lot of faith in the new CEO and I honestly wonder if he's meant to be a fall guy? I don't think this year is going to be nearly as good for them as the last few since there's a lot of unhappiness with the new WoW expansion, hearthstone is on a downturn, there's nothing going on for diablo or sc2 fans and hots is circling the drain.
