Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. Price and EPS Surprise
Let’s see how things have shaped up for this announcement.
Factors to Consider
TTWO’s fiscal third-quarter performance is expected to have benefited from the robust performance of its flagship franchises. Grand Theft Auto V has been exceeding expectations, while Red Dead Redemption 2 remains a bestseller, ranking in the top 10 six years post-release. NBA 2K25 has been achieving exceptional ratings, showcasing TTWO’s ability to innovate and engage audiences.
Mobile gaming is also expected to have significantly contributed to TTWO’s top-line growth in the to-be-reported quarter, driven by popular Zynga titles like Game of Thrones: Legends, Star Wars: Hunters, Match Factory! and FarmVille, and strong monetization efforts in hyper-casual gaming.
However, stiff competition from the industry giants like Electronic Arts and Activision is expected to have hurt TTWO’s fiscal third-quarter results. Macroeconomic uncertainties and sensitivity in consumer spending, particularly in mobile gaming and recurrent revenue streams, are also expected to have negatively impacted TTWO’s top-line growth.
TTWO has also been facing headwinds in its advertising segment, with a massive 30.1% decline in advertising revenues in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. This trend is expected to have continued in the to-be-reported quarter.
TTWO’s fiscal third-quarter operating expenses are also expected to grow due to increased marketing for Match Factory! and the acquisition of Gearbox Entertainment. In the second quarter of fiscal 2025, operating expenses increased 6.88% to $1.03 billion.
