On CAPS, 93% of the 1,259 members who have rated Take-Two believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include MarkP28665 and jakkal.
Earlier this year, MarkP28665 touched on the stock's near-term catalysts:
The electronic and online video gaming business is competitive but Take-Two has a series of new titles coming to market over the next year and a half. A few of these new games will probably be hits adding to the current good sellers so I think the next year will see better results.
Over the next five years, in fact, Take Two is expected to grow its bottom line at a rapid rate of 23% annually. That's faster than rivals Activision (15%), Electronic Arts (16%), and Microsoft (10%).
CAPS member jakkal elaborates on the Take-Two outperform argument:
Battered during a dry period and the Duke Nukem Forever launch. Has ahead of it Max Payne 3, Borderlands 2, Bioshock Infinite, X-Com, and about to announce GTA V, possibly at Gamescom. The mere announcement of GTA V will be enough to boost this stock, not to mention its tentative release next year.
