Previous notable changes for TTWO

Valuation2026-08-31-6.7%via uk.finance.yahoo.com
Take-Two Interactive stock declined 7.22% to $218.40 following a disappointing earnings reaction, where management reiterated (rather than raised) full-year net bookings guidance despite beating fiscal Q1 expectations, according to web sources citing the company's quarterly report.

Valuation2026-08-28+1.0%via investing.com
Take-Two Interactive gained 1.40% to $236.27 on August 28, driven by Rockstar Games' confirmation of Grand Theft Auto VI launch details (November 19 at $80 base price) and the commencement of NBA 2K27 early access for Deluxe and Ultra edition buyers. Volume ran 2.77x the time-adjusted average at 1.00M shares, reflecting elevated investor interest in the dual catalog catalysts.
Valuation2026-08-27-0.2%via Yahoo Finance
Take-Two Interactive (TTWO) declined 2.51% to $227.59 as investors reassess near-term fiscal 2027 guidance ($8.0–$8.2 billion net bookings) against near-term revenue pacing concerns, compounded by sector-wide headwinds from competitor job cuts and cooling consumer engagement in gaming. The web_catalyst notes that while Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders remain robust, the market is balancing long-term upside against valuation and profitability questions. Volume was 1.23x expected at 150 minutes into the session.
