Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. Price and Consensus
Robust Portfolio to Drive Growth in the Holiday Season
Take Two’s expanding game portfolio is expected to drive the top line in the near term.
Notably, the company released the highly-anticipated Red Dead Redemption 2, ahead of the holiday season, and sold a record $725 million in retail within the first three days of its release.
Moreover, Borderlands 2 VR is an important addition to Take-Two’s gaming portfolio. The popularity of the franchise is evident from the fact that the company has sold 16 million units of the game worldwide to date.
The company also partnered with HB Studios to publish The Golf Club 2019, which features PGA TOUR. This provides Take-Two a competitive edge over Electronic Arts (EA - Free Report) , which was earlier the sole provider of PGA TOUR.
Competition Intensifies
Take Two is expected to face significant competition. Activision’s Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 is expected to give tough competition to Red Dead Redemption 2 in terms of attracting holiday buyers.
Moreover, EA’s Anthem set to release on Feb 22, which has won over 90 awards including the best PC game and best action game awards at Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) 2018, is expected to provide significant competition to Sid Meier's Civilization VI: Gathering Storm.
Zacks Rank & A Key Pick
Take Two currently holds a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).
A top-ranked stock in the broader consumer-discretionary sector is Crocs, Inc. (CROX - Free Report) , which currently sports a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).
Will You Make a Fortune on the Shift to Electric Cars?
Here's another stock idea to consider. Much like petroleum 150 years ago, lithium power may soon shake the world, creating millionaires and reshaping geo-politics. Soon electric vehicles (EVs) may be cheaper than gas guzzlers. Some are already reaching 265 miles on a single charge.
With battery prices plummeting and charging stations set to multiply, one company stands out as the #1 stock to buy according to Zacks research.
