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.

Tonight, a "dovish rate hike"?
The Federal Reserve is almost certain to raise interest rates tonight, but the key issue is "what will be said after the hike." Citi characterizes this move as a "fine-tuning" adjustment, suggesting there is no inevitable future rate hike, yet warns that if Chairman Powell does not provide clear forward guidance, it will trigger significant market volatility. Goldman Sachs bluntly stated that there is insufficient economic foundation for this rate hike, with inflation being merely a one-off factor, and expects this to be a "signal-less rate hike."
JPMorgan: "Open source disruption" and "AI safety" are not issues, there is still room for capital expenditure in the next two years, semiconductor equipment will become the "new bottleneck"
JPMorgan believes that open-source models are not a threat, regulatory disruptions are only short-term, and cloud vendors’ leverage remains low—the fundamentals of computing power investment have not changed. It forecasts that the capital expenditure of the seven major tech giants will soar from $443 billion in 2025 to $1.577 trillion in 2027, with semiconductor equipment becoming the core bottleneck of the supply chain and a new round of price increases expected in wafer foundry and advanced packaging.
