After the first months of 2026, we compiled a new extensive report on the situation in the gaming stock market. Inside — a lot of data and illustrative tables. However, this time, positive trends are almost non-existent.
Note:
- all data regarding changes in market capitalization and stock prices are current as of April 9, 2026 — by the publication date, some figures have changed but only slightly;
- the phrase "year-to-date" characterizes the percentage change from the close of trading at the end of 2025 (in late December) to the present (April 9, 2026);
- in general lists, figures such as capitalization and stock prices are converted to US dollars for consistency, but in some cases, we also provide data in "original" currencies (yen, yuan, zloty, etc.);
- for convenience, some terms are abbreviated — for example, YTD (year-to-date).
What differentiates this summary from the two previous ones, which we published in the summer and autumn of 2025, is the noticeable decline of most companies on the stock exchange. Previously, we clearly saw leaders like the Chinese Zhejiang Century Huatong or Polish developers, but since the beginning of 2026, gaming stocks have been experiencing tough times.
For comparison: if in the fall approximately two-thirds of the companies we tracked were on the rise, currently 80% of stocks are in the red zone.
