Almost half a year separates us from the launch of very optimistic forecasts regarding the financial situation of the Polish developer, which are ed by the ranking of the most promising companies in 2020 - Bloomberg. The agency has selected 50 out of more than 2,000 companies surveyed by analysts, to which investors should pay attention next year. CD Projekt RED has been included in this list as the biggest winner.
Polish devs took the first place in two categories: "Estimated sales growth" and "Estimated earnings per share (EPS) growth". In the first case, analysts expect a nearly 4.5 times better result than this year, while in the second case, they expect an increase of almost 1200%. And all this with assets at the level of USD 304.19 million, much smaller than other distinguished companies. In comparison, the Chinese insurance company Ping An, which opens the list of companies, has resources of 1.1 trillion dollars.
It is also worth noting Matthew Kanterman's quotation attached to the ranking. According to the analyst, Cyberpunk 2077 could reach 20 million copies by the end of 2020. This number would be impressive in itself, and it should be ed that the biggest hit of the Polish studio so far - the Witcher series, but that it also has a chance to get the best opening in the history of RPGs and new IPs. Wheter this truly will be the case, we'll see in six months' time. The game will debut on April 16 on PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
