Take-Two Interactive's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TTWO#NYSE">TTWO</a>) short percent of float has fallen 6.07% since its last report.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Take-Two Interactive Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1753473624_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Take-Two Interactive has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Take-Two Interactive's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Take-Two Interactive's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.04%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Take-Two Interactive Stock In The Last 15 Years

Take-Two Interactive Software (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TTWO#NASDAQ">TTWO</a>) stock has been on a wild roller coaster in recent years with investors changing valuation of the company based on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/24/11/42144628/gta-6-trailer-2-fans-frustrated-as-rockstar-possibly-breaks-moon-theory">potential release dates </a>for the highly anticipated "Grand Theft Auto VI."
Roundhill Investments CEO Dave Mazza shares his thoughts on how to value Take-Two stock and what's next for the company.
Take-Two Out In 2026?: After a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/25/05/45453761/gta-vi-delay-looms-over-take-two-earnings-sales-beat-eps-miss-outlook-updated"> long delay</a>, Mazza is confident that 2026 is the year the public sees "Grand Theft Auto VI" released to the public.
"Yes, Take-Two and Rockstar have locked in May 26, 2026, as the street date, pushing the project out of fiscal 2026 and into fiscal 2027, but giving the team room to finish what CEO Strauss Zelnick calls ‘our most ambitious title ever,'" Mazza told Benzinga.
Mazza said that "barring force-majeure," the internal milestones and marketing spend on the new video game are now set for that key company date.
Prediction market <a href="https://kalshi.com/markets/kxgta6/gta-6-release-date#gta6">Kalshi </a>has a betting market on when "Grand Theft Auto VI" will be released. The game being released before June 2026, which would be the current company date, is at 68%. The game being released before August 2026 sits at 84%. The market for the game being released before 2027 sits at 94% odds.
<iframe loading="lazy" src="https://kalshi.com/external-widgets/events/GTA6?color_scheme=light&#038;widget_size=medium&#038;variant=a&#038;ids=GTA6-26DEC31&#038;ids=GTA6-26JUL31&#038;ids=GTA6-26MAY31" width="488px" height="196px" style="border:0"></iframe>
Video Game Pricing: One of the hot topics about the release of "Grand Theft Auto VI" is pricing, with reports that the game will have a higher price tag than other games.
"Rockstar's scope and marketing clout give it room to test higher price points as analysts expect $80 standard and $100-plus deluxe editions, but only a handful of ‘event' franchises can command that premium," Mazza said
Mazza named Grand Theft Auto, Elder Scrolls and Call of Duty as franchises that can likely charge more for games. The Roundhill CEO doesn't think the higher pricing for this particular game will change the overall sector.
"Most publishers will still ship at $70 and rely on post-launch DLC or battle-passes to grow ARPU, while free-to-play giants compete on zero entry cost and monetize through cosmetics."

Valuing Take-Two Stock: Take-Two is the fourth-largest holding in the Roundhill Video Games ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NERD#NASDAQ">NERD</a>) which was launched back in 2019.
Mazza said the delay of "Grand Theft Auto VI" to the next fiscal year led to the stock falling 7% to 10% and around $2 billion in revenue forecasts going to the next year.
"Yet, sell-side targets still cluster around $235 to $240 on the view that a $3 billion-plus launch year in full year 2027 will dwarf the short-term gap," Mazza said.
Mazza said "the right lens is bookings visibility."
"Valuation therefore, rests on discounted cash flow that weights the out-year spike, balances mobile and sports portfolios in the interim, and assigns a probability discount to further slips. Long-only holders need patience; traders may treat the lull as optionality on flawless execution."
TTWO Price Action: Take-Two stock trades at $228.66 versus a 52-week trading range of $135.24 to $245.08. Take-Two stock is up 25.8% year-to-date in 2025.

Here's How Much $1000 Invested In Take-Two Interactive 10 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

Apple Inc&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) latest legal setback is a headwind, but one analyst says the impact on the iPhone maker&#8217;s stock price is materially lower than investors feared. 
What Happened: JPMorgan analyst Samik Chatterjee has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AAPL/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">an Overweight rating</a> on Apple, according to a Thursday research note.
The note comes one day after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit denied Apple&#8217;s emergency application to halt changes to its App Store that resulted from a legal spat with Epic Games.
Judge Gonzalez enforced Apple to allow link-out payments for applications at 0% commission versus 27% prior, Chatterjee noted. Implementing Gonzalez&#8217;s order will moderate Services revenue growth by up to 200 bps, which will result in an EPS headwind of 2%- 3%, as highlighted in his prior report.
However, Chatterjee said the actual impact will be driven by consumers&#8217; adoption rate for link-out payments.
As a reminder, before implementing the zero-commission link-outs, the analyst estimated that the US App Store would contribute $11.3 billion in fiscal 2025 (~3% of aggregate revenues).
In the future, investors will watch out for the appeal process against Gonzalez&#8217;s order, which may take two years or even more if the case reaches the Supreme Court. Other geographies will leverage the precedence from the current ruling to demand similar implementation of zero commission link-outs, Chatterjee said.

Why It Matters: Analyst Cory A Carpenter noted that the court denial is a big deal for app developers, many of whom have already updated their apps to accept credit card payments.
For apps that previously paid fees to Apple, the analyst estimated a potential annual margin uplift:

Importantly, app store fee relief should represent upside potential to prior guidance, Carpenter said, as companies did not include any relief in their outlooks given the pending stay decision.
Roblox Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RBLX#NYSE">RBLX</a>) generates 30% of revenue from the app store, but the analyst says the margin uplift will depend on how much savings are passed on to developers.
Carpenter said some apps previously did not allow users to subscribe on the app store due to Apple fees, and these companies should see a user acquisition benefit. The companies included Spotify Technology (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPOT#NYSE">SPOT</a>), Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Kindle, and Epic Games.
Spotify said in an Amicus briefing on May 19 that its iOS app update had significantly increased iOS users upgrading to a Premium subscription analyst.
Carpenter expects Applovin Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APP#NASDAQ">APP</a>) to be an indirect beneficiary as developers re allocate app store fees to user acquisition.
Price Action: Apple stock is up 0.29% to $203.40 at last check Thursday.

Apple Faces Modest Earnings Hit After Court Ruling But Analyst Expects Match, Bumble, Spotify To Gain

JP Morgan analyst Cory Carpenter named Take-Two Interactive Software (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TTWO#NASDAQ">TTWO</a>) and Xometry (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XMTR#NASDAQ">XMTR</a>) as top picks within the internet small and mid-cap (SMID) and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/video-games" rel="noreferrer noopener">video games</a> sectors.
As part of a wider reassessment of the internet SMID and video games sectors, this modification by JP Morgan encapsulates their latest industry analysis and projections.
The key conclusion of this assessment is that small-cap internet stocks continue to underperform significantly, marking the fifth consecutive year of this trend.

Despite this, the sector shows some resilience with the median covered company projected to grow revenue by 9% and maintain a 20% EBITDA margin in 2025, with all companies now adjusted EBITDA profitable, the analyst observed in the report.
A notable finding is the potential positive impact of the App Store ruling on companies like Match Group (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MTCH#NASDAQ">MTCH</a>) and Bumble (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMBL#NASDAQ">BMBL</a>), which may result in some fee relief.
While overall estimates for 2025 have seen slight downward revisions, the report highlights specific opportunities and dislocations, such as Take-Two Interactive as a top pick due to the anticipated GTA VI release, and identifies Roku, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ROKU#NASDAQ">ROKU</a>) and Xometry as companies with stock dislocations worth watching.
Carpenter maintained an Overweight rating on Take-Two Interactive with a price forecast of $250 due to the highly anticipated GTA VI (May 2026), its status as the most anticipated video game release in history, and strong performance from NBA 2K and Zynga. While GTA VI delays pose a risk, the firm projects significant growth with $8.75 billion in bookings and $9 adjusted EPS in FY27, driven by GTA VI unit sales.
The analyst has rated Xometry Overweight with a $38 price forecast, calling it a top small-cap pick. The custom manufacturing marketplace is seen as a clear leader in a growing online market, with accelerating revenue. Despite risks like manufacturing contraction, Xometry is projected for $595 million in marketplace revenue and $13 million adjusted EBITDA in 2025. Tariffs, supply chain uncertainty, and onshoring should accelerate share gains, as per the analyst. He increased the price forecast from $36 to $38.
Carpenter also increased the price forecast for Roblox Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RBLX#NYSE">RBLX</a>) (from $80 to $100), citing beat and raise first-quarter and strong second-quarter intra-quarter trends.
The analyst raised the price forecast on Roku, Inc. from $75 to $85, citing China tariff relief and platform revenue upside potential.
He boosted the price forecast on Applovin Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APP#NASDAQ">APP</a>) from $355 to $400, citing a first-quarter beat, app store ruling, and self-serve catalyst.
Carpenter downgraded Bumble from Neutral to Underweight, maintaining a $5 price forecast, despite the stock&#8217;s recent 50%+ surge since Liberation Day.
The upgrade in profit, driven by cost cuts, offset weaker revenue. However, Carpenter anticipates accelerated declines in revenue and payers, citing worsening U.S. download trends.
He expects margins to moderate as brand marketing resumes (i.e., another big upgrade seems unlikely) and notes continued challenges in the online dating sector, especially with Gen Z engagement. Tinder&#8217;s turnaround is further along, yet Match Group shares are near all-time lows, reflecting industry-wide struggles.
