Bill Gross warns on gold momentum as regional bank stocks tumble
Investing.com - Benchmark raised its price target on Take-Two Interactive (NASDAQ:TTWO) to $300.00 from $275.00 on Thursday, while maintaining a Buy rating on the video game publisher’s stock. The new target represents potential upside from the current price of $261.50, with the stock already showing impressive gains of nearly 69% over the past year.
The research firm cited Take-Two’s "solid momentum" following a strong fiscal first quarter and raised full-year guidance, despite acknowledging that recent titles Mafia: The Old Country and Borderlands 4 likely underperformed expectations.
Benchmark noted that management’s outlook appears achievable given strength in NBA 2K26 engagement and continued mobile growth across Take-Two’s portfolio of games.
The firm characterized fiscal year 2026 as a "transitional year" ahead of the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI release scheduled for May 2026 and the expected reveal of GTA Online 2.
Benchmark predicted these upcoming releases "will mark the start of a multi-year earnings inflection" for Take-Two and suggested that "opportunistic buyers" would likely emerge if the company reports any quarterly weakness.
