Key Points

Capcom, which produces top games like Resident Evil, offers both dividends and strong sales growth.
Take-Two has popular franchises, boosting its valuation significantly.
Microsoft's Activision acquisition should strengthen its position in the metaverse.

The video game industry is a large, growing sector that still has significant long-term expansion potential. While performance for leading companies in the space tends to be hit-dependent and somewhat cyclical, the future looks bright for the video game industry.

Take-Two Interactive's valuation has grown rapidly due to stellar performances by its core franchises. Grand Theft Auto is the company's biggest and most important property, and, as a series, one of the most profitable in all of gaming entertainment. Take-Two's Red Dead Redemption series has been very well-received, and its NBA 2K basketball series is a leader in the sports game category. The company also owns a variety of smaller series and other development initiatives that help to drive growth.

Game development is typically complicated and resource-intensive, but the development studios of Take-Two's top franchises have repeatedly delivered outstanding products. Take-Two is skilled at delighting players and sparking high levels of both engagement and in-game spending. The company's strong financial position enables it to aggressively pursue new growth opportunities in categories such as mobile games and esports.

Take-Two also used its strength in 2022 to acquire mobile and social gamemaker Zynga in a $12.7 billion deal. Bringing Zynga under its umbrella added slate of popular mobile franchises to its portfolio and is allowing the company to leverage Zynga's expertise in free-to-play games.

CD Projekt (OTGL.Y -0.52%) is a Poland-based games developer and publisher that has delivered some big hits over the last decade. While the company's Cyberpunk 2077 got off to a bit of a rough start following the game's launch in 2020, CD Projekt has done an impressive job of fixing issues that hindered the title upon its debut and turned the game into a consistent performance driver.

CD Projekt is also responsible for The Witcher -- one of the most successful role-playing-game franchises over the last 10 years. With a new Witcher title on the horizon, CD Projekt could be poised for a new growth phase.
