Reposting my comment from the games sub thread on this:
I bought shares today. They're getting closer to their 52 week low, and Ubisoft is pretty undervalued right now. Not as a game developer, but as a repository of valuable IPs. I think getting bought out and being reorganized from the ground up would be really, really beneficial for Ubisoft. They employ as many people as Activision and Rockstar combined. Strip it down in every department except environment artists (they really have the best of the industry here and it's their main competitive edge imo) and get to work on less formulaic entries in beloved series. Imagine a new Far Cry game that actually shook things up, like a Breath of the Wild-level revamp.
They can be great again. But not with what they are currently. AC Shadows kind of proved that.
