Investment Thesis, Valuation and Risks
CD Projekt (Underweight; Price Target: zl155.00)
Investment Thesis
CD Projekt has a strong and ambitious development pipeline with several high-profile
projects planned for launch in the mid-term - the next major project is the development of
a new Witcher trilogy, starting with "The Witcher 4: Polaris", which is the flagship project
in full development and is expected to be launched around 2027 using Unreal Engine5 with
significant technological advancements. Following this, the company is also focusing on
“Cyberpunk 2”, which has recently progressed to the pre-production phase. Despite a strong
pipeline with the company switching back to its well-known “Witcher” franchise, we
remain cautious on volatility in earnings in the coming two years, and potential cash
constraints considering growing development budgets and lower pricing power. We would
also remind investors of the high execution risks as Cyberpunk 2077 took 5-6 years to
produce and another two years to fix, implying that our assumption that the production of
the next game takes three years already incorporates some benefit of the doubt.
Valuation
We derive our CD Projekt fair equity value estimate using a DCF model valuing announced
pipeline of projects (Witcher and Cyberpunk series), and future releases of the studio. We
use a WACC of 10.0% and terminal growth rate of 3%, setting the Dec-27 PT at PLN155/
share.
