Take-Two Interactive cut at BofA Securities, shares fall /h2

BofA Securities downgraded Take-Two Interactive Software (NASDAQ:TTWO) to Neutral from Buy with a price target of $170.00, citing expectations of a postponed release for the highly-anticipated video game Grand Theft Auto VI. As a result, shares fell more than 1% pre-market today.

The analysts noted that not all investors are prepared to wait longer than 15 months. They predict that GTA 6 will be released in the fall of 2025, contrary to the consensus expectation of an earlier release in the first quarter of that year.

As a consequence, BofA anticipates a 20% cut to the fiscal 2025 revenue forecast before August next year.

Based on investor inquiry patterns, participation has broadened meaningfully since the stock bottomed a year ago. We expect further broadening of participation into the launch, which dampens downside price risk, but we do not see significant further upside potential for now.
