What Happened

Israeli mobile gaming giant with real revenue ($2.5B+) went public in the SPAC era. Actually has profitable games but stock declined 76% from peak on growth concerns.

Playtika IPOed in January 2021 at $27/share โ€” technically a traditional IPO but deeply connected to the SPAC-era gaming boom. The company owns popular mobile games (Slotomania, Bingo Blitz). Unlike most SPAC-era gaming companies, Playtika had $2.3B real revenue and was profitable. But growth stalled as mobile gaming matured, and a failed $10B+ sale process in 2022 spooked investors. Stock fell from $36 to $8.
