What Happened?
Shares of video game publisher Take Two (NASDAQ:TTWO) jumped 15.3% in the afternoon session after the company reported strong fourth-quarter results and provided quarterly revenue guidance and full-year EPS outlook, which beat analysts' expectations. The company also confirmed its much-anticipated GTA VI title will come out in the fall of this year. The pipeline for the year is also stacked with popular titles, including Civilization VII, Mafia, and Borderlands 4. Management was upbeat about the outlook, with expectations for gradual improvements in net bookings in fiscal 2026 and 2027 as it rolls out its hit titles.
The performance for the quarter was mixed. Strength in NBA 2K helped counter softness in several mobile franchises, yet weak mobile sales weighed on overall bookings and revenue. The company is counting on Zynga to reverse these trends. Overall, this was a solid quarter.
