Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. Price and EPS Surprise
Recurrent consumer spending is projected to have declined about 5%, as growth in NBA 2K and the Grand Theft Auto series is likely to have been offset by mobile softness.
At 2K, the Sept. 4 launch of NBA 2K27 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC and Nintendo Switch 2 is expected to have been the key driver. The title introduced the franchise’s first co-ed City and a new MyCAREER Eras mode, with Victor Wembanyama, Caitlin Clark and Derrick Rose revealed as cover athletes on July 22. Borderlands 4 received Bounty Pack 4, while Mafia: The Old Country’s Man of Honor expansion and WWE 2K26’s WrestleMania 42 Pack were slated for August.
At Rockstar Games, the Kortz Center Heist for GTA Online is likely to have supported engagement and GTA+ momentum. Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look, released on Aug. 27, is expected to have reinforced pre-order strength ahead of the Nov. 19 launch.
At Zynga, Toon Blast, Match Factory!, Empires & Puzzles, Words With Friends, Color Block Jam and Zynga Poker are expected to have led. Zynga Poker launched a campaign featuring Keegan-Michael Key on Sept. 1, while the growing direct-to-consumer channel is anticipated to have aided margins. However, mobile is expected to have declined, reflecting Color Block Jam’s tough prior-year comparison and moderating trends in mature titles.
Operating expenses are projected at $1.01-$1.02 billion, with management-basis expenses expected to have dropped approximately 5% as the prior-year quarter carried heavy Borderlands 4 launch marketing. Nevertheless, amortization of acquired intangibles of about $149 million is likely to have weighed on profitability, with EBITDA guided between a $20 million loss and $4 million of income. For fiscal 2027, capital expenditure was raised to approximately $290 million due to a planned real estate purchase, though operating cash flow above $1 billion and a year-end net cash position remain targeted.
While mobile softness and non-cash charges are likely to pressure results, NBA 2K27 and rising Grand Theft Auto VI anticipation position Take-Two well for its reiterated fiscal 2027 Net Bookings target of $8-$8.2 billion.
