What Happened:
Shares of digital casino game platform PlayStudios (NASDAQ:MYPS) jumped 7.7% in the morning session after the company reported fourth quarter results with revenue and adjusted EBITDA outperforming Wall Street's estimates. On the other hand, its revenue growth regrettably slowed. The topline benefitted from strength in the advertising segment, more than offsetting the "contraction in the mobile games industry." Monetization also improved, with average revenue per daily active users up 3%, coming in well ahead of expectations. Moving on, guidance seemed fine even though it wasn't too exciting, with full year revenue and adjusted EBITDA guidance relatively in line with expectations. Zooming out, this was still a decent, albeit mixed, quarter, showing that the company is staying on track.
