Shares of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TTWO#NASDAQ">TTWO</a>) is trading lower on Friday, after the company reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/58d52968b85e930001416e4f/michael-pachter">mixed fiscal fourth-quarter results on Thursday</a>.
The announcement came amid an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">exciting earnings season</a>. Here are some key analyst takeaways.
Wedbush On Take-Two Interactive Software
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/58ad8d48b85e930001f97170/robert-ohmes">Analyst Michael Pachter</a> maintained an Outperform rating, while raising the price target from $253 to $269.
Take-Two Interactive Software reported its quarterly results broadly in-line with expectations, Pachter said in a note. The company declared net bookings of $1.582 billion, above consensus of $1.550 billion and hitting "the high end of its guidance on a solid release slate, strong back catalog performance, live services, and continued mobile success," he added.
Management guided to net bookings of $5.9 billion–$6 billion and earnings of $2.45–$2.70 per share for fiscal 2026, missing the guidance, the analyst stated. The guidance was impacted by a delay in the launch of Grand Theft Auto VI from the fall of 2025 to May 26, 2026, he mentioned.

Raymond James On Take-Two Interactive Software
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/660e8c32d4edd70001a6ca22/andy-marok">Analyst Andrew Marok</a> reiterated an Outperform rating, while lifting the price target from $240 to $250.
Take-Two Interactive Software reported solid results for the fiscal fourth quarter, with bookings hitting the top end of the guidance range, Marok said. Both NBA 2K25 and mobile delivered strong performances, he added.
Fiscal 2026 is "shaping up solidly on the release front," with a strong response to major titles, the analyst stated. "Fan reception to Mafia and TTWO's other headline release, Borderlands 4, have been solidly positive to date, which should provide a high floor for FY26 bookings given the ongoing momentum in other areas of the business like NBA 2K and the company's mobile business," he further wrote.
Benchmark On Take-Two Interactive Software
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5935519f85b07a0001c0bc58/mike-hickey">Analyst Mike Hickey</a> reaffirmed a Buy rating and price target of $250.
Take-Two Interactive Software delivered strong figures, driven by a "broad based performance across core franchises and mobile," Hickey said. NBA 2K25 sold nearly 10 million units, up 7% year-on-year, he added.
Recurrent consumer spending grew 14% year-on-year and contributed 77% of the company's total net bookings, the analyst stated. Grand Theft Auto V has now sold over 215 million units, and the "excitement for Grand Theft Auto VI continues to build," he further wrote.
TTWO Price Action: Shares of Take-Two Interactive Software had declined by 1.5% to $228.80 at the time of publication on Friday.

Take-Two Q4 Beats On NBA 2K, Mobile; Analysts Flag Cautious Guidance On GTA 6 Delay

Wall Street fought for a fifth consecutive day of gains on Friday, with major indexes edging slightly higher by midday in New York as investors continued to digest the week's significant trade breakthroughs and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s">recalibrate their economic expectations.</a>
The S&amp;P 500 rose 0.1% to 5,925, its highest level since early March, while the Nasdaq 100 held firm after a strong prior session. Gains were broad but cautious as markets balanced optimism over de-escalating tariffs with growing macro concerns. 
Healthcare stocks rebounded from recent underperformance, buoyed by a rally in Eli Lilly &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>), while the energy sector lagged as crude prices cooled.
The U.S. dollar surged after the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/05/45470155/consumer-sentiment-crashes-to-5-year-lows-as-inflation-fears-reach-1981-levels">University of Michigan's consumer sentiment report</a> delivered one of the bleakest stagflationary signals in recent decades. 
The headline Consumer Sentiment Index dropped to its lowest level since June 2020, while the Consumer Expectations subindex hit levels not seen since 1980. Year-ahead inflation expectations soared to 7.3%, the highest since late 1981. 
The spike in inflation fears rattled rate-cut bets. Fed funds futures slashed the odds of a June interest rate cut to just 5%, effectively pricing out any move next month. 
Markets now fully price the first rate cut only by October 2025, with a second possibly arriving in December.
Treasury yields rose as bond prices fell, with the 30-year yield rising back to 4.90%, following the dismal sentiment data. The combination of rising yields and a stronger dollar weighed heavily on gold, which dropped 1.8% and is headed for its worst weekly performance since November 2024. 
In crypto, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) bounced back and reclaimed the $104,500 level.

However, consumer discretionary and communication services stocks diverged from the broader market, ending the day lower.
Overall, the S&amp;P 500 has climbed approximately 4.5% week-to-date, followed by a roughly 2.6% increase for the Dow and a significant 6.6% rise for the Nasdaq.
Notably, tech giants like Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Tesla Inc.

In other news, Walmart Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) reported stronger-than-anticipated first-quarter earnings, while Foot Locker Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FL#NYSE">FL</a>) shares surged around 86% following an agreement for acquisition by DICK&#8217;s Sporting Goods Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DKS#NYSE">DKS</a>).
On the economic front, initial jobless claims remained steady, U.S. retail sales saw a modest 0.1% monthly increase in April, and U.S. producer prices unexpectedly declined by 0.5% in April.
The Dow Jones index advanced 272 points or 0.65% to 42,322.75, whereas the S&amp;P 500 index rose 0.41% to 5,916.93. Nasdaq Composite ended 0.18% lower at 19,112.32, and the small-cap gauge, Russell 2000, ended 0.52% higher at 2,094.69.

Insights From Analysts:
Ed Yardeni of Yardeni Research said in his QuickTakes note that Fed Chair Powell &#8220;poked a stick&#8221; at the White House following his speech on Thursday.
Yardeni pointed out that Powell implied that the bond yields might stay elevated as a result of more frequent &#8220;supply shocks,&#8221; like tariffs.
&#8220;Higher real rates may also reflect the possibility that inflation could be more volatile going forward than in the inter-crisis period of the 2010s,&#8221; Powell said in prepared remarks for the Thomas Laubach Research Conference in Washington, D.C.
Yardeni said, &#8220;Sounds like Powell is expecting more frequent bouts of stagflation, which was associated with supply shocks in the past.&#8221;
&#8220;The stock and bond markets didn&#8217;t react much to the speech partly because today&#8217;s batch of indicators were mostly ambiguous about the near-term prospects for stagflation,&#8221; he added.
As the PPI declined in April, Louis Navellier of Navellier &amp; Associates said, &#8220;The PPI demonstrated that despite recent trade chaos, wholesale prices are falling from lackluster economic activity and surplus goods that have been &#8216;dumped&#8217; in the U.S.&#8221;
Meanwhile, commenting on the declining PPI, Jamie Cox, the managing partner at Harris Financial Group, added, &#8220;If you are in the stagflation camp, these data aren't confirming your thesis. While growth is slowing, disinflation remains intact.&#8221;
Speaking about the S&amp;P 500 earnings so far, Navellier said, &#8220;Now that 90% of the companies in the S&amp;P 500 have announced their first quarter results, earnings are running at an 11.2% annual pace, which represents the seventh straight quarter of improving earnings growth.&#8221;
