Bank Of America See Massive Monetization Potential
The pricing updates follow a Tuesday report from Bank of America Securities analyst Omar Dessouky, who reiterated a Buy rating and raised the TTWO price forecast from $320 to $368.
Dessouky noted that the next iteration of Grand Theft Online “could monetize at 2x the predecessor, catching up to Fortnite, with potential for further upside.” Bank of America estimates the title will sell 45 million units in fiscal year 2027.
Take-Two Stock: Key Levels and Momentum Indicators
Take-Two is trading well above its key trend gauges, sitting 12.2% above the 20-day and 50-day SMAs, 16.8% above the 100-day SMA, and 7.7% above the 200-day SMA. That stack argues the intermediate trend is still pointed up, even after a choppy 12-month stretch that’s roughly flat (down 0.17%).
The crossover picture is mixed, which is why the next few levels matter: the 20-day SMA is above the 50-day SMA (bullish), but the 50-day SMA remains below the 200-day SMA after the death cross in February.
- Key Resistance: $251
