Vector’s Acceleration Powered Unity Software’s Best Quarter as a Public Company
Unity Software (U) reported Q2 2026 results on August 5, and the quarter was strong enough that CEO Matt Bromberg called it the best in the company’s history as a public company. Strategic revenue climbed 38% year over year, and adjusted EBITDA jumped 77% to $160 million. Unity Software stock closed at $43 on August 7, up 5% since the release.
The engine was Unity Vector, the company’s AI-driven performance advertising platform. It grew 23% quarter over quarter against a guide of 12% to 13%, roughly double what management had told investors to expect. Six quarters after the product launched, Vector now runs at over $1 billion in annual revenue, a level it reached two quarters ahead of schedule.
That acceleration pulled Strategic Grow revenue, the segment housing Vector, to $329 million, up 63% year over year. Create, Unity’s game-development software business, added $157 million in strategic revenue, up 14% once a one-time prior-year item is stripped out. Growth there came from higher pricing and continued strength in China.
Profitability moved faster than the top line. Adjusted EBITDA margin reached 29%, an expansion of 800 basis points year over year, while free cash flow rose 59% to $202 million. With margins climbing as revenue compounds, Bromberg addressed the combination on the Q2 earnings call: “We don’t know of many companies at our scale growing revenue at this velocity, while simultaneously expanding margins 800 basis points year-over-year.” That is the thesis, growth and profit arriving together rather than trading off.
The cash generation reshaped the balance sheet. Unity ended the quarter with $2.36 billion in cash and swung from net debt to net cash for the first time. Management closed the sale of Supersonic to Tripledot and completed the shutdown of the ironSource Ad Network, both of which lift second-half margins.
The guide carried the forward story. For Q3, management projected strategic revenue of $540 million to $550 million, growth of 44% to 47%, and adjusted EBITDA of $185 million to $190 million at a 33% margin. Unity also pulled its first-ever GAAP profitability forward to Q3 2026 from Q4.

TIKR Values Unity Software Stock at $94, Nearly Double Today’s Price
TIKR’s mid-case model values Unity Software at $94 by December 2030, implying 119% total return from the current price of $43, or 20% annualized over the next four years.
A 20% annualized return runs well above the mid-teens rate a mature software name typically offers, which is the market pricing Unity Software stock as a business still early in an inflection rather than one settling into maturity.
The path runs through the dynamics the quarter exposed: Vector still compounding roughly 20% sequentially into Q3, and adjusted EBITDA growing more than twice as fast as revenue. Both push earnings power higher, and earnings power is what the model prices into $94.
TIKR’s model puts fair value at $94, roughly double today’s $43. See the full case and value U stock on TIKR for free →.
