Calling Lenovo a “notable partner,” Canccord estimated that the deal could be worth seven figures.
“If Lenovo is a meaningful increase, this suggests a deal worth more than $1 million annually,” Canaccord analysts wrote. “Looking at a recent deal between Guild Esports and BitStamp as a comparable, the deal could be over $2 million annually.”
Canaccord analysts added that the Lenovo deal supports GameSquare’s revenue target of $28 million annually in 2022.
“GameSquare highlighted the addition of new sponsors and brands as a driver behind the growth to its 2022 revenue target of $28 million,” analysts added.
“Lenovo is a strong support for the momentum in that effort. As well, we note the recent announcement of a 40% increase in league revenue for Complexity.”
Canaccord has a Speculative Buy rating on GameSquare’s stock and a C$0.60 price target.
Shares of GameSquare were changing hands at around $0.12 in Canada on Tuesday.
