Financials Market: Playtika Q2: Disney Solitaire Fuels Profit; UA Spend Cut 70%
Playtika returned to profit in Q2 after Disney Solitaire’s strong performance, with the title’s revenue up 288.6% year-on-year. The company reported Q2 revenue of $731.1M and adjusted EBITDA of $206.1M (28.2% margin). Playtika said it will reduce marketing/user-acquisition spend for SuperPlay’s Disney Solitaire by roughly 70% in H2 2026 versus H1, while reaffirming full-year 2026 guidance of $2.75B–$2.85B revenue and $750M–$790M adjusted EBITDA but flagging results will likely be toward the lower end. Reports also linked Playtika to potential sale talks of SuperPlay with Tencent; SuperPlay was acquired by Playtika for an initial $700M in 2024.
Public company earnings plus a large, concentrated 70% user-acquisition/marketing cut materially affects mobile ad spend dynamics and signals demand change for in-app advertising; reaffirmed guidance anchors forward expectations.
