Unity Stock Surges on AI-Powered Ad Momentum and Positive Client Feedback

$Unity Software Inc.(U)$   surged 14%, with its stock showing strong recent momentum.

Morgan Stanley upgraded Unity to “Overweight” and set a price target of $25, citing rapidly improving returns from its advertising clients.

Over the past few weeks, Morgan Stanley observed significantly more positive feedback from Unity’s ad clients. They estimate Unity Ads has driven at least a 15%–20% improvement in app installs and in-app purchases — consistent with data shared by management in their Q2 earnings call.

Unity is no longer just a game engine — it’s building an AI-powered personalized advertising network that’s embedded directly into games.

Every time you finish a level and see a message like “Watch this ad to get an extra life,” the ad you’re shown isn’t pre-selected. It’s dynamically chosen based on:

Your gameplay style

Your location

Your device

Your click history

Real-time bids from advertisers

This is powered by Unity’s ad engine, Vector, which performs real-time bidding in milliseconds. Vector selects the ad most likely to convert and displays it natively, without interrupting the gameplay loop. Even if two players are on the same level in the same game, their ad experiences may be completely different.

Google monetizes intent through search-time bidding. Unity is applying the same concept — but monetizing attention between game levels.
