Aristocrat Leisure Looks Like a Winner from AI

2354 GMT - Australian slot-machine maker Aristocrat Leisure is viewed at Macquarie as an incumbent likely to benefit from artificial intelligence. A note from one of the investment bank's analysts sees significant boosts including to creativity, product-development speed, and data analytics. The note says the latter is supported by Aristocrat's recent acquisition of Gaming Analytics, allowing it to access anonymized player session data. This should give it a competitive advantage in game development, the note adds. Furthermore, the analyst views Aristocrat as having a wide moat against disruption and as being potentially due for a re-rating on improved investor sentiment. Macquarie keeps an outperform rating on the stock and lifts its target price by 8.3% to 65.00 Australian dollars. Shares are at A$59.98 ahead of the open. (stuart.condie@wsj.com)
