NBA 2K continued to be the main driver of revenue for Take-Two Interactive, selling eight million copies and contributing significantly to a 25% increase in fiscal Q3 to $1.7 billion.
The NBA 2K series relies heavily on consumer spending which trickles down to the company’s overall revenue.
NBA 2K26 reported 8 million sales, exceeding 4.5 million copies sold by NBA 2K25 after its release.
As of late 2025, the NBA 2K series has sold around 162 million units.
Strong Guidance Driven by NBA 2K
The company expects recurrent consumer spending to rise 17% in fiscal Q4, with NBA 2K likely to experience a 37% growth.
Moreover, launch of GTA 6 on November 19 is also projected to help the company reach record levels of net bookings in fiscal 2027.
The company is expected to achieve net bookings between $6.65 billion and $6.7 billion, representing an 18% growth. These bookings are largely expected to be driven by NBA 2K, the Grand Theft Auto series, Toon Blast, Match Factory, Empires & Puzzles, Color Block Jam, Borderlands, the Red Dead Redemption series, and Words with Friends.
Healthy Balance Sheet
The company also raised its operating cash flow forecast to around $450 million, with $180 million expected to be deployed in capital expenditures.
Operating expenses are expected to be around $983 million, with a focus on user acquisition investments.
Take-Two Interactive Price Target
Wall Street analysts are offering a 12-month price forecast of maximum $301 and minimum $206.
With the much-awaited GTA 6 slated for its launch in November, the company’s sales are likely to surge and throw in the success of titles such as NBA 2K and Red Dead Redemption, Take-Two Interactive is in a very good place for now.
We recommend a strong buy on the stock based on its recent performance and a bullish guidance.
