Take-Two gets set for GTA VI pre-orders. Jefferies says it could be the stock catalyst investors have been waiting for
Article Summary
HOLD- Take-Two Interactive Software Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO) is set to open pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI on June 25, with Jefferies expecting the event to be meaningful catalyst ahead of the game's November 19 release.
- The bank expects a new trailer to drop alongside the pre-order launch, but the bigger focus for investors will be pricing, with the base edition expected to land at either $70 or $80, with $100 considered unlikely.
- The premium editions may be the most telling part of the announcement, with their contents likely to give the first real clue about how Take-Two plans to monetize GTA VI Online, including bundled subscription months, premium currency, a season pass, or some combination.
- Jefferies points to the Red Dead Redemption 2 launch cycle as potential parallel when shares climbed around 20% from pre- orders to peak before pulling back into launch, with upcoming pre-ordered window and summer marketing push as next major catalyst to watch.
