Earnings Summary
Take‑Two Interactive Software is a global developer and publisher of interactive entertainment, focusing on action‑adventure and sports titles such as Grand Theft Auto and NBA 2K, and distributing across consoles, PCs, and mobile platforms. The company operates within the Electronic Gaming & Multimedia sector of Communication Services, competing with other large game publishers for consumer attention and platform share. In the most recent quarters, Take‑Two’s revenue grew from $1.48 billion in Q2 2025 to $1.96 billion in Q3 2025, a 32% YoY jump, while EPS swung from a modest $‑0.07 in Q2 2025 to a $‑0.73 loss in Q3 2025, indicating a widening margin squeeze; the company beat estimates in Q4 2024 (EPS $‑0.71 vs $‑0.90 estimate) but missed in Q1 2025 (EPS $‑21.08 vs $‑0.05 estimate) and Q3 2025 (EPS $‑0.73 vs $‑0.62 estimate). Historically, Take‑Two has shown a mixed earnings trajectory: revenue has trended upward year over year, with a 15% increase in Q3 2026 to $1.76 billion, yet EPS has fluctuated from losses to a positive $1.23 in Q3 2026, reflecting improved profitability after the release of high‑profile titles. Recent news highlights the launch of NBA 2K27 and the anticipated release of GTA VI, both of which could offset revenue volatility; however, supply‑chain constraints and IP leak concerns have introduced uncertainty around launch timing and sales recognition.

Reverse DCF

What growth is priced into TTWO?

RICH

At today's price, Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. needs to grow free cash flow about 45.2% a year for the next 10 years to justify its valuation at a 8.80% cost of capital. Over its actual history it has compounded free cash flow at 6.9% a year, so the market is asking for 38.3 percentage points above its own delivered rate. On that basis TTWO looks priced above what its own growth record supports.

vs 200-day average

Up days (1y)
47%

Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. is currently running 27.9% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against TTWO's own 13 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 44th percentile — close to its own typical level, against a typical reading of 29.4%. The distinction matters because a number that looks calm for one stock is turbulent for another, and the absolute figure on its own tells you neither.

TTWO is trading -22.4% below its running peak. Across 12 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -21.9%, and the deepest was -50.2% in 2022. The current drawdown is already deeper than this stock's typical annual low point, which puts it in the part of its range where past recoveries began — and where past declines also continued.

Price sits -9.6% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 13th percentile — a narrower gap than it typically runs. Over the past year TTWO closed higher on 47% of sessions, and it is currently 1 session into a rising streak.

On October specifically: over 13 years of records, TTWO finished the month higher 8 of 13 times, with a median return of +3.4% and an average of +4.2%. Its strongest month historically has been May at +8.2% on average, its weakest February at -3.8%. Seasonality is a weak signal on its own — a decade is a small sample and regimes change — but it is a real distribution rather than a rule of thumb.

Overnight risk is measurable too: TTWO has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 109 of 3,267 sessions (3.3% of the time), with the largest gaps running +6.1% and -13.6%. For anyone holding through an event, that rate is a better guide to overnight exposure than the intraday range.

Across the last 3 dated reports on file, TTWO moved an average of 7.2% in the session after earnings, closing higher 1 of those 3 times, with a median move of -8.8% and a largest of -9.8%.

All figures computed from 3,268 daily closes between 2013-10-07 and 2026-10-05, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against TTWO's own 13-year history, not a peer group or index.

What did this article say?
Take‑Two Interactive (TTWO) filed a regulatory disclosure on September 30 announcing a long‑term licensing agreement with Microsoft that grants TTWO the rights to develop, publish, market, distribute, and sell Xbox‑compatible products across all Xbox devices. Under the deal, Microsoft will pay TTWO the wholesale price or an agreed revenue share for digitally delivered products and will charge fees for each physical media product manufactured on TTWO’s behalf.

What did this article say?
Take‑Two Interactive closed the session at $207.50, up 2.33% from the prior day, outperforming the S&P 500’s 0.25% decline. The publisher of Grand Theft Auto and other titles had dropped 6.42% over the month, lagging the broader Consumer Discretionary sector. Analysts anticipate earnings of $0.83 per share for the upcoming quarter, a 43% year‑over‑year drop, while full‑year estimates project a 71% earnings increase. The stock’s short‑term gain reflects market‑wide weakness rather than a fundamental shift in Take‑Two’s outlook.
What did this article say?
Take‑Two Interactive’s stock has risen 47.4% over the past three years, yet recent performance has been uneven. Analysts questioned whether the current $202.78 price reflects the company’s expected cash generation, noting that shifts in development spend, monetization or release timing could impact free cash flow. The review highlighted the firm’s reliance on converting game and content sales into steady cash, and the potential risk if that conversion slows. Overall, the piece presents a balanced view without a clear directional bias.
What did this article say?
Take‑Two Interactive Software shareholders approved a certificate of amendment to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation at the September 30 annual meeting. The amendment updates the legal framework governing the company’s corporate structure and shareholder rights. The change provides the board and management with an adjusted governance foundation that could influence future corporate decisions and internal controls. No immediate financial impact was reported, and the amendment is viewed as a routine governance update.
What did this article say?
The article identifies Take‑Two Interactive (TTWO) as one of three promising non‑AI growth stocks, noting its recent share price increase of 0.22%. It frames TTWO as a compelling alternative to high‑valuation AI names, suggesting that its performance could appeal to investors seeking growth outside the tech sector. The piece emphasizes the broader market context of AI stock overvaluation and positions TTWO as a more attractive, lower‑risk option. No specific earnings or guidance details are provided, but the inclusion signals a positive view of the company’s growth prospects.
What did this article say?
Take‑Two Interactive shares fell 1.6% on September 24 after Meta Platforms announced its Horizon AI game‑building tools, prompting investors to reassess the broader AI‑related cost pressures in the gaming sector. Meta’s new tools are expected to increase development expenses for studios, while Roblox’s guidance indicated a 14‑18% decline in Q3 bookings, underscoring a tightening revenue environment. The combination of rising AI infrastructure costs and shrinking bookings raised concerns about margin compression for gaming companies, including TTWO, potentially affecting future profitability.
