Just before it was scheduled to release the first-half earnings results for fiscal year 2025-26 (FY26), Ubisoft has delayed the report until something is published “in the coming days.”
According to a sudden November 13 press release, the company has decided to postpone sharing its earnings “until the publication of its first-half 2025-26 results.” It’s asking Euronext, a European exchange market that provides trading and post-trade services, to halt trading until it informs the market when it’s ready to restart.
“Ubisoft announces the postponement of the release of its results for the first half of fiscal year 2025-26,” the company said. “Ubisoft has requested Euronext to halt trading of its shares (FR0000054470) and its bonds (FR001400DV38, FR001400MA32, and FR0014000O87) from the market opening on November 14, 2025, until the publication of its first-half 2025-26 results in the coming days. Ubisoft will inform the market of the date on which trading will restart. Ubisoft will inform the market of the date on which trading will restart.”
Niko Partners’ director of research and games analyst Daniel Ahmad said in an X post that this decision might suggest “a major announcement” about the company could be coming soon.

According to Insider Gaming, CFO Frederick Duguet told staff in an internal email that the delay was so Ubisoft could take “extra time to finalize the closing of the semester” and “limit unnecessary speculation.” Duguet allegedly said this is “likely to raise questions,” but couldn’t “share more information due to legal regulations.”
It’s hard to speculate what this all means right now, but it is a curious time for Ubisoft. Assassin’s Creed creative lead Marc-Alexis Côté left the company in October after two decades. The company reportedly canceled a Civil War-inspired Assassin’s Creed game as a result of the tense backlash toward Shadows’ co-protagonist Yasuke. And according to an earnings report shared in July 2025, the company’s revenue has continued a downward trajectory.
