Take Two (TTWO) & ROCKSTARTakeTwo Intractive's costs are rising as fast as revenues, and the Zynga acquisition has yet to prove itself. Of course, GTA 6 is an excellent argument, but even this is not without risk; after all, it is not guaranteed that every new GTA is of the highest quality. Overall, it seems that an investment in the company is currently a pure bet on the massive success of GTA 6. But if that's the investment thesis, why invest now? TakeTwo has an excellent reputation in the industry and trades with a premium valuation compared to the competition. But several points do not look entirely positive. Costs are rising as fast as revenues, and the Zynga acquisition has yet to prove itself. At the same time, shareholders are slowly but steadily burdened by stock dilution and stock-based compensation. Plus, the CEO sold 21% of his shares in April. Yes, eventually, GTA 6 will be released, but if that's the main argument for the investment, you might as well wait another six months and possibly get in at a cheaper price. The last quarter was not very successful for the company. Revenue was $1.4B but missed expectations by $140M. On a GAAP basis, there was a significant loss per share of -$1.54. They also lowered FY 2023 revenue guidance from $5.8B to $5.4B. The chart below shows the evolution of some metrics over the last five years. Here we see that revenues are increasing strongly, but costs are increasing almost at the same rate, so real profits are not growing. The company is currently valued at an enterprise value of $19B. The market cap is $16.9B, and the total debt is $3.7B. The P/S ratio is 4.4, and the forward P/E ratio is approx. 25. The share is thus more cheaply valued than the last few years' averages this year we going to see GTA6 first trailer and probably release data announcement, plus a next gen update for Red dead redemption2 TTWO under 99$ is a buy zone , I managed to buy some shares at 94$ and will buy more if back to 90-80$ zone again

Take Two | TTWO & GTA VIIs TakeTwo Interactive Software Fairly Valued? We use what is known as a 2 stage model, which simply means we have two different periods of growth rates for the company's cash flows. Generally the first stage is higher growth, and the second stage is a lower growth phase. To begin with, we have to get estimates of the next ten years of cash flows. Where possible we use analyst estimates, but when these aren't available we extrapolate the previous free cash flow (FCF) from the last estimate or reported value. We assume companies with shrinking free cash flow will slow their rate of shrinkage, and that companies with growing free cash flow will see their growth rate slow, over this period. We do this to reflect that growth tends to slow more in the early years than it does in later years. Present Value of 10-year Cash Flow (PVCF) = US $9.1b The second stage is also known as Terminal Value, this is the business's cash flow after the first stage. For a number of reasons a very conservative growth rate is used that cannot exceed that of a country's GDP growth. In this case we have used the 5-year average of the 10-year government bond yield (2.2%) to estimate future growth. In the same way as with the 10-year 'growth' period, we discount future cash flows to today's value, using a cost of equity of 8.5%. The total value, or equity value, is then the sum of the present value of the future cash flows, which in this case is US$27b. The last step is to then divide the equity value by the number of shares outstanding. Compared to the current share price of US$139, the company appears about fair value at a 14% discount to where the stock price trades currently. Valuations are imprecise instruments though, rather like a telescope - move a few degrees and end up in a different galaxy. Do keep this in mind. We would point out that the most important inputs to a discounted cash flow are the discount rate and of course the actual cash flows. You don't have to agree with these inputs, I recommend redoing the calculations yourself and playing with them. The DCF also does not consider the possible cyclicality of an industry, or a company's future capital requirements, so it does not give a full picture of a company's potential performance. Given that we are looking at Take-Two Interactive Software as potential shareholders, the cost of equity is used as the discount rate, rather than the cost of capital (or weighted average cost of capital, WACC) which accounts for debt. In this calculation we've used 8.5%, which is based on a levered beta of 1.071. Beta is a measure of a stock's volatility, compared to the market as a whole. We get our beta from the industry average beta of globally comparable companies, with an imposed limit between 0.8 and 2.0, which is a reasonable range for a stable business. Valuation is only one side of the coin in terms of building your investment thesis, and it shouldn't be the only metric you look at when researching a company. DCF models are not the be-all and end-all of investment valuation. Instead the best use for a DCF model is to test certain assumptions and theories to see if they would lead to the company being undervalued or overvalued. For example, changes in the company's cost of equity or the risk free rate can significantly impact the valuation.

Time to buy into the GTA 6 hype?Tomorrow will be the day the first trailer for GTA 6 will be released. It's been nearly ten years since GTA 5 was released and broke world records. The wait for GTA 6 can not be compared to another game. The hype and anticipation are off the charts. This creates a unique investment opportunity. Looking at the historical prices news related to GTA has created considerable share price movements. Especially when related to GTA 6. In September 2022, a leak about GTA 6 caused Take-Two’s stock to plummet. Recently, when Rockstar announced in November that early December is when we would see the first news around GTA 6 the shares gapped up and rose around 17.17% in 30 days. There is considerable space for big gains when Rockstar releases the trailer tomorrow. It all rides on the investor's expectations, which will largely be following the customer's expectations. If the customers see it being good and the trialer receives a lot of attention, positive of course, then the share price will inevitables go up. Trailer released => Large positive response by customers => investors excited and happy => share prices rise. Now of course this is the short-term outlook. What about the long-term? The game will most likely be released next year in the fall. But this game will no doubt break records and will allow Take-Two, the company that owns Rockstar, to profit handsomely. Just as GTA 5 did. This therefore seems like a great opportunity to buy the shares before the short-term rapid rise and possible long-term outlook. However, speaking long-termly this would need a different piece of analysis that I'm not doing right now. But all I will say is the potential for long-term growth is there and this could be a good buying in price right now. It would be difficult to put a price range for tomorrow. But I would say between 20% - 30%, which is around the all time high. But I do see potential for further upside tomorrow.

GTA VI Effect?Take Two Interactive, while on the downward sloping trend has formed a cup & handle pattern and successfully managed to break out of the range. The arrival of next Grand Theft Auto series is likely to push the stock up as it is likely to be one of the best selling titles in the gaming industry. The stock has many supporting reasons to drive its price higher as we may see the continuation of GTA Online (for both V & VI) which has been a massive success amongst the community and also for Rockstar as it has helped generate regular income from its business model. Other than being the best GTA ever, it will incorporate features from other successful titles such as Red Dead Redemption 2, which arguably had better graphics than GTA V & all other games from the parent company in the past. We may also see Rockstar borrowing elements from RDR 2 like character physics & animals such as horses which have never been present in GTA before. This will be biggest & best release ever from the GTA series unlike Apple claiming their Iphone to be which is merely different from its previous iterations. Moreover, the stock is down from its all time high and thus we can expect to see it breaking its previous highs with the next GTA on its cards. The stock looks good for a long term holding as Rockstar has high estimates from its upcoming titles in 2024-25 and none other than next GTA can achieve this level of sales. Rockstar has other upcoming titles too in the pipeline that may contribute to their success in the future.

Grand Theft Auto 6Take-Two owns Rockstar Games and has developed and published many notable games, including its most famous Grand Theft Auto series, Red dead redemption, Mafia series, and a few other big games, including 2K. Last month, Rockstar announced Grand Theft Auto V expanded and enhanced Edition for Sony PS5, Xbox Series X, and will launch on November 11, 2021. Based on the previous game's announcement and release, Rockstars games always gives a significant push to TTWO. (Charts attached below) Technical analysis: - Based on my chart, I believe TTWO will have a big announcement in November 2021 (maybe they will announce Grand Theft Auto 6) and most likely will continue the rally beyond $200. - Currently, a Potential Head and Shoulder pattern may fall to retest the bottom trend line. It is pretty safe to short sell it down to the major bottom trendline, then start to invest long-term once the price retests the major bottom trendline.
