will be reporting results tomorrow after the bell. Here’s what you need to know.
Last quarter Unity reported revenues of $544.2 million, up 68.5% year on year, missing analyst expectations by 0.9%. It was a weak quarter for the company, with a miss of analysts’ revenue estimates. The major negative, however, was that the company stopped providing financial guidance.

Stocks have been under pressure as inflation (despite slowing) makes their long-dated profits less valuable, and while some of the design software stocks have fared somewhat better, they have not been spared, with share price declining 2.9% over the last month. Unity is down 9.8% during the same time, and is heading into the earnings with analyst price target of $34.9, compared to share price of $31.2.
