Hype over Grand Theft Auto 6 has boosted Take-Two Interactive's stock price to a major degree. Take-Two shares reached an all-time high on Thursday as investors and fans eagerly await not just the forthcoming earnings report, but further information on the eagerly awaited game. Analysts anticipate that GTA 6 will be a key contributor to the success of the company in the future, and therefore the next few months are crucial for Take-Two.
Take-Two stock reaches all-time high as GTA 6 hype increases
Take-Two Interactive's (TTWO) stock gained 4.4% Thursday, finishing at $222.69 and peaking for the session at $224.43, an all-time high. The stock move comes amid building hype ahead of the company's May 15 fiscal fourth-quarter earnings release, as well as the expected launch of Grand Theft Auto 6.
BMO Capital Markets analyst Brian Pitz reaffirmed his buy rating on Take-Two shares, with a price target of $240. He said that Take-Two has one of the healthiest game pipelines in the sector and cited GTA 6 as the one significant element that could drive earnings in fiscal 2026. Pitz is looking for the game to be reaffirmed for a fall 2025 release, with GTA 6 potentially being priced above prior games.
Experts anticipate robust sales but caution about potential delays
Pitz estimates that GTA 6 may sell as many as 45 million copies in its launch window. In case Take-Two sets the game's price tag over $70 — even $100, revenue can shoot even higher. Recent history, such as Nintendo charging $80 for Mario Kart World, suggests it is more probable.
But there are some concerns. Benchmark analyst Mike Hickey noted that it has been more than 500 days since Rockstar Games dropped the initial GTA 6 trailer. The prolonged silence with no second trailer or additional updates has given rise to rumors about potential delays, although Rockstar and Take-Two still officially target a fall 2025 release.
Take-Two's strong stock performance is a testament to how much confidence investors have in GTA 6's success. Although delays are a concern for some, the majority of analysts are hopeful that the game will hit its target release window. With the May earnings call looming, investors and fans are eagerly waiting for any fresh news from Take-Two and Rockstar.
