Wedbush Cuts Target Price on Unity (U) to $30, Due to AI Concerns
Unity Software Inc. (NYSE:U) is one of the 13 High-Risk High-Reward Growth Stocks to Invest In.
On February 12, Wedbush cut its target price on Unity Software by 18.9% to $30 (from $37) but maintained an Outperform rating on the stock. Soft Q1 2026 guidance (despite decent Q4 2025 results), the threat of artificial intelligence, and a shift in strategy were the main concerns for the firm, leading to the target price change.
This research update came a day after Unity released its Q4 2025 earnings on February 11. The results showed revenue growing 10% YoY to $503.1 million (vs. $457.1 million). Both the Create Solutions (8% YoY growth to $164.9 million from $152.2 million) and Grow Solutions (11% YoY growth to $338.2 million from $304.9 million) segments contributed to this result. Adjusted EBITDA, meanwhile, outpaced revenue, growing 25% YoY to $125 million (from $106 million).
The company’s management also provided its guidance on Q1 2026. They expect Q1 revenue of $480 million to $490 million, below street estimates of $492 million. These revenue figures imply a YoY growth rate of between 10.3% and 12.6%, but a flat quarter-on-quarter growth rate.
As for the impact of artificial intelligence, Google on January 29 rolled out access for Project Genie, an “experimental research prototype [which] lets users create, explore, and remix their own interactive worlds.” Since this release, Unity’s stock price has fallen 44.2%.
Unity Software Inc. (NYSE:U) is a leading video engine developer based in San Francisco, California. The company was founded in 2004 by Joachim Ante and David Helgason.

"The New Fed's Newsletter" stated that senior Federal Reserve officials have indicated this week that a rate hike in October may not be their baseline forecast. The current report's wage and unemployment rate data do not show the labor market is tightening enough to significantly increase price pressures. Traders’ pricing for an October rate hike dropped from nearly 30% before the data release to about 20%, and at one point, markets even stopped fully pricing in another hike this year. Institutions believe the job market is characterized by “low hiring, low layoffs,” giving the Fed reason to wait for more data; a December rate hike remains possible. Market reaction suggests “bad news is good news,” as Wall Street continues to focus on the 5% US Treasury yield.
