Massive Collision Presents Notable Opportunity
In the latest issue of BÖRSE ONLINE (p. 24), an article delves into the recent drop in 11 Bit Studios' stock price and the factors contributing to this financial downturn.
Since the release of "Frostpunk 2", the stock price of 11 Bit Studios has dropped significantly, losing over 34% of its value. This significant drop is primarily due to investor backlash after the company cancelled "Project 8", a game that consumed nearly $12 million in development costs without being released. The cancellation, confirmed in August 2025, led to a plunge in the stock value. Investors and the Association of Individual Investors in Poland are demanding transparency and have threatened to escalate the issue to financial regulators due to the lack of clear communication around this costly project termination[1][3].
Despite positive evaluations of other titles like Frostpunk 2 and ongoing takeover speculation, the sudden financial loss and management perceived lack of clarity have weighed heavily on investor confidence. This situation overshadows the generally good outlook for the studio’s portfolio.
Regarding whether the stock now represents a buying opportunity, the recent sell-off reflects market concern about the company's governance and project management risks rather than the quality of its existing games or future potential alone. Some analysts have increased the price target recently, indicating optimism about mid-term recovery, but the uncertainty triggered by a $12 million write-off and investor dissatisfaction means potential buyers should proceed cautiously and closely monitor upcoming financial reports, such as the first half of 2025 results due August 28, 2025[5]. The stock’s current low price might appeal to risk-tolerant investors looking for a turnaround, but the situation is complex and carries clear risks tied to management transparency and project execution.
Meanwhile, in the world of gaming, "Frostpunk 2" continues to captivate players. In this strategy-survival game, players build a city in a wasteland of snow and ice, secure resources, and make political decisions to keep the city from falling. "Frostpunk 2" is the sequel to the original "Frostpunk" by 11 Bit Studios[4].
Elsewhere in the current issue of BÖRSE ONLINE, there are articles discussing the underestimation of a specific stock (p. 24), the comeback of nuclear power and its implications for the stock market (p. 42), and the logistics company's aim to improve the performance of its divisions and expand in growth markets (p. 26). The new issue also contains an article on why the price drop of 11 Bit Studios' stock is considered exaggerated, the game's criticism, and takeover chances (p. 24).
