Why Could FY27 Revenue Be Significantly Higher?
One of the strongest statements from management relates to the company's expected revenue trajectory.
FY27 revenue is expected to be a multiple of FY26 revenue due to acquisitions.
This suggests that inorganic growth is expected to play a major role in changing the scale of Nazara Technologies.
For investors, the critical question will be how effectively the acquired businesses are integrated and how much of the expanded revenue base eventually translates into sustainable operating profitability and cash generation.

• Deployment of available cash
• Progress toward building an international gaming platform

Investor Takeaway
Indian-Share-Tips.com Nifty Expert Gulshan Khera, CFP®, who is also a SEBI Regd Investment Adviser, observes that Nazara Technologies' management commentary points toward an aggressive expansion phase in which acquisitions are expected to materially increase the company's scale.The expectation that FY27 revenue could be a multiple of FY26 is particularly noteworthy. However, investors should ultimately assess the strategy through revenue quality, operating profitability, cash generation and successful integration of acquisitions.
The possibility of a NODWIN Gaming IPO in 2028 provides an additional long-term development to monitor, while Nazara's intention to retain approximately 23% ownership could allow it to maintain exposure to NODWIN's future growth.
The central investment narrative is therefore evolving from simply expanding a portfolio of gaming assets toward the much larger ambition of building a global gaming platform from India.
