Take-Two Interactive Reiterates Annual Booking Guidance Despite Widened Loss

Take-Two Interactive Software (NASDAQ:TTWO) reaffirmed its annual bookings guidance and projected future growth, even as it forecasted a deeper annual loss and delivered mixed fiscal first-quarter results. The video game maker reported a Q1 loss of $1.52 per share on revenue of $1.34 billion, missing analyst expectations of a $1.37 per share loss on $1.26 billion in revenue.

Net bookings, which represent the net amount of products and services sold digitally or physically, rose 1% to $1.22 billion. For fiscal Q2, Take-Two anticipates a net loss ranging from $2.15 to $2.30 per share and net bookings between $1.42 billion and $1.47 billion. The company also revised its fiscal 2025 loss forecast to a range of $3.95 to $4.33 per share, compared to its previous estimate of $3.50 to $3.90.

Despite the wider loss forecast, Take-Two maintained its bookings guidance for the year at $5.55 billion to $5.65 billion and highlighted expected growth in the coming years. The company anticipates sequential increases in net bookings in fiscal 2026 and 2027, which it believes will drive long-term shareholder value.

Following the results, Take-Two's shares rose more than 4% on Friday.
