Mizuho Securities Raises Price Target on Take-Two Interactive Software (TTWO) Following 1Q16

August 11, 2015 7:36 AM

Mizuho Securities reiterated a Buy rating on Take-Two Interactive (NASDAQ: TTWO), and raised the price target to $33.00 (from $32.00), following 1Q16 earnings results. Take Two reported Non-GAAP revenue of $366mm, above Street expectations of $351mm. Non-GAAP EPS of $0.31 came in below Street expectations of $0.36.

Analyst Neil Doshi commented, "Solid F1Q Results: Take Two reported solid Non-GAAP revenue of $366mm, above MSUSA and Street expectations of $348mm/$351mm. Strength came from digital revenues which grew 139% to $254mm and represented 69% of total revenue, a quarterly record for the company. Recurrent consumer spending was again a key driver of digital revenue. While the company beat on the top-line and guided to a much better-than-expected F2Q, it maintained FY16 guidance, likely out of conservatism, in our view. We maintain our Buy rating as TTWO should have a strong slate of games in F2H16."
