Take-Two Interactive Software's Fiscal Q1 Results to Reach Higher End of Guidance, Wedbush Says

By

Take-Two Interactive Software's (TTWO) fiscal Q1 results are expected to come in at the high end of its guidance range, Wedbush analysts said in a Monday note.

The company is scheduled to report its fiscal Q1 financial results on Friday.

Analysts said that the company's valuation is "too cheap" considering it has a locked-in Grand Theft Auto VI launch date as Nov. 19 and has a recurring revenue base far larger than the one it carried going into the Red Dead Redemption 2 cycle.

Wedbush estimates Grand Theft Auto VI sales of roughly 29 million units in Q3, the launch quarter.

Analysts expect fiscal 2027 earnings of $6.43 per share for Take-Two, compared with a FactSet consensus estimate of $6.78. The company's guidance range is $5.75 to $6.

Wedbush has an outperform rating and a $300 price target on the stock.

Apple Faces Supply Constraints, Currency Drag in Q4 Amid AI Strategy Questions, UBS Says

Apple (AAPL) faces currency headwinds and tightening memory-supply conditions that are expected to weigh on iPhones, Macs and iPads in fiscal Q4, UBS Securities said Thursday in a report.The company's "lack of a robust AI strategy remains a challenge" amid "limited estimate upside and an elevated valuation," the report said.Foreign-exchange fluctuations are expected to trim Q4 growth by 250 basis points, the report said. Apple expects gross margin of 47% to 48%, including a 100 basis point tariff refund, and UBS projects the figures to drop to 45.9% in the following quarter as the tariff benefit fades."Investor fund flows could shift back toward hyperscalers, semiconductors, and networking and optical companies, capping Apple's valuation multiples," the report said.UBS maintained its neutral rating on Apple stock with a $296 price target.Price: $306.87, Change: $-26.56, Percent Change: -7.97%
