Ubisoft Delays Earnings and Requests Share Trading Halt

Ubisoft Entertainment SA made the unusual decision to delay the publication of its first-half financial results on the day that they were due to be released. The company also requested that the trading of its shares be halted.

The French gaming company behind Assassin’s Creed said it would publish its results “in the coming days” instead, without providing further detail. In a statement, Ubisoft said it had also asked Euronext to halt trading of its shares and its bonds until its results are published and would “will inform the market of the date on which trading will restart.”
