Nazara Technologies Stock Crash<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

Rekha Jhunjhunwala Portfolio Stock: <\/strong>Nazara Technologies came under renewed selling pressure on Thursday, August 21, after the Lok Sabha passed the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Bill, 2025<\/em>. The stock slumped 11% in morning trade on the NSE, a day after shedding 13%, hitting a 15-week low of Rs 1,125.<\/p>\n

The proposed legislation seeks to prohibit all pay-to-play online games \u2014 including those of skill and chance \u2014 effectively pausing operations of regulated real-money gaming (RMG) platforms across India. While industry stakeholders criticised the move, the government defended it, citing the addictive nature of such games and their impact on mental health among young users.<\/p>\n

Nazara clarified in an exchange filing that it has no direct exposure to RMG businesses. Its only indirect exposure is via a 46.07% stake in Moonshine, which owns PokerBaazi. \u201cAs per the latest financials, the contribution of RMG to Nazara\u2019s revenues and EBITDA is nil,” the company stated.<\/p>\n

However, speaking to CNBC-TV18, founder and CEO Nitish Mittersain admitted that the company\u2019s \u20b9805 crore investment in PokerBaazi could be at risk if the ban is implemented, though he maintained that Nazara\u2019s core business remains strong.<\/p>\n

Brokerage ICICI Securities downgraded its view on the stock, reducing Moonshine\u2019s valuation in Nazara\u2019s books from Rs 400 crore to zero, and cutting its target price from Rs 1,500 to \u20b91,100. It noted that Nazara\u2019s other segments \u2014 gamified early learning, publishing, and gaming arcades \u2014 remain unaffected, while the recognition of eSports as a sport could prove to be a long-term positive for its Nodwin Gaming unit.<\/p>\n
