Take-Two Interactive soared 13% on Thursday after the company offered strong guidance that suggests a 2024 release for Grand Theft Auto 6. While the company expects its fiscal 2024 net booking to be as much as $5.55 billion, it expects its fiscal 2025 net bookings to surge to more than $8 billion. Take-Two's fiscal 2024 year is in calendar-year 2023, while its fiscal 2025 year is in calendar-year 2024. Take-Two's Grand Theft Auto series has been wildly successful, with the 2013 release of Grand Theft Auto 5 driving lifetime unit sales of 180 million. Investors got a taste of what Grand Theft Auto 6 could look like after a massive data leak in September 2022 led to gameplay videos being posted online.
The company also said it expects to deliver 36 video game titles through 2025 and 2026, and forecast $8 billion in 2025 net bookings and over $1 billion in operating cash flow. Take-Two, however, did not make any announcements about its highly anticipated title "Grand Theft Auto VI". Its fourth-quarter adjusted sales grew 65% to $1.39 billion, compared with Wall Street's estimate of $1.34 billion, according to Refinitiv data. During an earnings call with analysts, Chief Executive Strauss Zelnick said Take-Two was assuming a continuation of the current challenging consumer backdrop within its forecast. Its annual adjusted revenue forecast between $5.45 billion and $5.55 billion came below Street's estimate of $6.07 billion.
Investors should "steel" themselves for a potentially challenging week ahead, with a number of earnings reports that could serve as indicators for the broader economy, CNBC's Jim Cramer said Friday. Key numbers on retail sales come out Tuesday alongside earnings from Home Depot while Target reports earnings the following day. Those reports will be helpful in parsing the state of the economy, Cramer said, especially the retail data on Tuesday that might show "some real cracks in consumer spending." Cramer thinks Walmart's subscription service, Walmart+, has been "gaining momentum." The debt crisis is looming and until lawmakers find a solution, Cramer warned that investors should move with caution.
Here are five stocks to weather the storm, according to Wall Street's top professionals on TipRanks, a platform that ranks analysts based on their past performance. Despite the ongoing pressures, cloud-based data warehouse company Snowflake (SNOW) delivered upbeat quarterly results. The company's fiscal 2023 fourth-quarter results missed expectations due to macro pressures, higher costs, supply chain issues and increased promotional activity. TD Cowen analyst Shaul Eyal remains bullish about Zscaler and reiterated a buy rating with a price target of $195 following the results. (See Zscaler Hedge Fund Trading Activity on TipRanks) Eyal holds the 15th position among more than 8,000 analysts on TipRanks.

The Supreme Court on Monday agreed to hear arguments in a case challenging the constitutionality of funding for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The order taking the case came four months after a federal appeals court panel unanimously ruled that the CFPB's funding mechanism was unconstitutional. The Biden administration had asked the Supreme Court to hear its appeal of that ruling. CNBC has requested comment from the Community Financial Services Association of America, the group that challenged the CFPB's authority in the case. The court, in its 5-4 ruling that year, said that the director must be removable by the will of the president, for any reason.

Take-Two stock tumbles after it cuts outlook
  + stars: | 2022-11-07 | by ( Kif Leswing | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
Take-Two stock dropped more than 15% in extended trading on Monday after the company reported fiscal second-quarter 2023 results. It said its outlook in the current quarter and for fiscal 2023 would be lower than previously expected. Take-Two's net bookings primarily includes digital game sales or sales to wholesalers, as well as licensing fees and merchandise. "Our reduced forecast reflects shifts in our pipeline, fluctuations in FX rates, and a more cautious view of the current macroeconomic backdrop, particularly in mobile," Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick said in a statement. Take-Two also owns mobile giant Zynga, known for "Words with Friends," after purchasing it for $12.7 billion earlier this year.
