Analyst Theodore R. O’Neill wrote that the global VR market is expected to reach $435 billion by 2030, presenting a significant growth opportunity for Virtualware. The company’s flagship VIROO platform offers VR-as-a-service for corporate training, design prototyping, marketing and other applications.
“Virtualware has a long lead as a pioneer in this sector with a significant amount of intellectual property built up over the last two decades,” the report states.

Recent updates of the platform allow integration of virtual and mixed reality along with offline functionality. Virtualware continues to refine VIROO with the goal of establishing it as an industry standard VR-as-a-service platform.
The €10 price target is derived from a discounted cash flow model estimating the company's future earnings potential. The report noted Virtualware’s current valuation multiples are below comparable peers in the VR space.
