Bernie McTernan has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors, including Unity’s stronger-than-anticipated first-quarter performance and the resulting upward revisions to his 2026 and 2027 forecasts, which supported an increased price target of $40. He highlights the robust momentum in Vector, which delivered a 16% sequential revenue increase, reinforcing confidence in the company’s growth trajectory.

Bernie McTernan’s rating is based on the view that scaling Vector provides more data to feed Unity’s machine learning models, creating a self-reinforcing cycle that can enhance performance over time. He also notes that leveraging long-anticipated run-time data within Unity’s engine, along with the company’s path to achieving positive GAAP net income by the fourth quarter, positions the firm well as it heads into 2027.
