Key developments

Unity Software reported third-quarter results that beat analyst estimates on both earnings and sales, and issued fourth-quarter sales guidance well above consensus. Management said the quarter was its strongest ever, with adjusted EBITDA more than doubling and margin expanding sharply on higher revenue and cost discipline. Advertising led growth, with Grow Solutions rising on the strength of Unity Vector, while subscription gains lifted the Create Solutions game-creation business.

The rally came against a sharply weaker broader market, with the Nasdaq and AI-linked technology shares selling off heavily on the session. That sector-wide risk-off backdrop is context rather than a company-specific risk.
