Benchmark analyst Mike Hickey believes the Star Wars license with Disney (DIS) announced last night is a "big win" for Zynga (ZNGA), as it offers a more obvious path toward bookings growth and continued margin expansion. In a research note to investors, Hickey, who has a Buy rating and $5 price target on Zynga shares, says he sees around $100M in bookings growth in 2019, a combination of an estimated $40M from recent GG acquisition, continued growth from portfolio of live services and new game launches. The analyst also says he believes Zynga has regained market credibility via the Disney deal, signalling it is a trusted partner, and expects Zynga has the potential for other licensing deals.
