<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Notes From The Block</h3>
A studio's IP portfolio and game development pipeline are critical for video game investors. A major acquirer in the sector is GDEV Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GDEV#NASDAQ">GDEV</a>). The Cyprus-based company has made three M&amp;A deals and spent $100 million on studio acquisitions since 2022. 
This week, Andrey Fadeev drafted <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/25/06/45722621/gdevs-founder-ceo-evaluates-m-a-deals-using-these-5-metrics">a listicle of key metrics</a> GDEV uses for M&amp;A evaluation.
<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li>LTV/CAC Ratio – Measures how efficiently a studio converts user acquisition spend into revenue. A ratio above 1.0 indicates profitable user growth.</li>
<li>Retention Rates (D1, D7, D30) – Track user engagement over time. High retention signals strong gameplay and monetization potential. Benchmarks vary by genre.</li>
<li>ARPU/ARPPU – Indicate monetization efficiency. ARPU includes all users; ARPPU focuses on paying users. Higher ARPU justifies higher CAC.</li>
<li>DAU/MAU Ratio – Shows user engagement depth. A ratio above 20% is considered strong.</li>
<li>EBITDA – Reflects core operational profitability and financial health. High EBITDA margins show sustainable growth and efficiency.</li>
</ol>
In 2024, video game M&amp;A activity reached $27.3 billion, underscoring the sector's immense growth and investment appeal. C-suite executives would be wise to consider these metrics when searching for their next target.

Blueprint Medicines shares are trading higher after the company announced that Sanofi will acquire them for $9.5 billion.

Sanofi SA (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNY#NASDAQ">SNY</a>) on Monday agreed to acquire Blueprint Medicines Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BPMC#NASDAQ">BPMC</a>).
The acquisition includes a rare immunology disease medicine, Ayvakit/Ayvakyt (avapritinib), approved in the U.S. and the EU, and a promising advanced and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care" rel="noreferrer noopener">early-stage immunology pipeline</a>.
Ayvakit/Ayvakyt is the only approved medicine for advanced and indolent systemic mastocytosis (ASM &amp; ISM), a rare immunology disease, which is characterized by the accumulation and activation of aberrant mast cells in bone marrow, skin, the gastrointestinal tract, and other organs.
The acquisition will also include elenestinib, a next-generation medicine for SM, and BLU-808, a highly selective and potent oral wild-type KIT inhibitor with the potential for immunology diseases.

Sanofi will pay&nbsp;$129.00&nbsp;per share in cash, representing an equity value of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/06/n45714358/sanofi-to-acquire-blueprint-medicines-expanding-portfolio-in-rare-immunological-disease-and-adding" rel="noreferrer noopener">approximately&nbsp;$9.1 billion</a>.
Blueprint shareholders will also receive one contingent value right (CVR), which entitles the holder to two potential milestone payments of&nbsp;$2&nbsp;and&nbsp;$4&nbsp;per CVR to achieve future development and regulatory milestones for BLU-808.
The total equity value of the transaction, including potential CVR payments, represents approximately&nbsp;$9.5 billion&nbsp;on a fully diluted basis.
Paul Hudson, CEO of Sanofi, said, &#8220;The proposed acquisition of Blueprint Medicines represents a strategic step forward in our rare and immunology portfolios&#8230;It complements recent acquisitions of early-stage medicines that remain our main field of interest. Sanofi still retains a sizeable capacity for further acquisitions.&#8221;&nbsp;
Ayvakit achieved net revenues of&nbsp;$479 million&nbsp;in 2024 and nearly&nbsp;$150 million&nbsp;in Q1 2025, representing year-on-year growth of more than 60% over Q1 2024.
Sanofi currently expects to complete the acquisition in the third quarter of 2025. The acquisition will not significantly impact Sanofi&#8217;s financial guidance for 2025. It is immediately accretive to gross margin and accretive to business operating income and EPS after 2026.
In another development, Sanofi exercised its option to exclusively license Nurix Therapeutics, Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NRIX#NASDAQ">NRIX</a>) STAT6 program on Monday, including the drug development candidate NX-3911, an oral, highly selective STAT6 degrader.
STAT6 (signal transducer and activator of transcription 6) plays a central role in type 2 inflammation, which drives diseases such as atopic dermatitis and asthma.
