Major Institutions Amplify Stakes in Take-Two Ahead of Critical Launch Period

As Take-Two Interactive Software approaches what may be the most significant product cycle in its recent history, a notable shift is occurring behind the scenes. While gamers globally anticipate the launch of "Grand Theft Auto VI," heavyweight financial institutions have been actively repositioning their holdings. Recent regulatory filings reveal substantial increases in positions by major investors, signaling strong confidence in the video game publisher's upcoming pipeline.

Data released this week highlights aggressive accumulation by professional money managers. European asset management giant Amundi boosted its stake by nearly 66 percent during the second fiscal quarter. Even more striking is the new position established by Norway's Norges Bank, valued at over $730 million. American Century Companies also expanded its holding by more than 22 percent. With institutional investors now controlling approximately 95 percent of the shares, the stock's trajectory is being decisively shaped by these sophisticated capital flows.

Valuation: A Tale of Two Models

This buying spree is fueled by expectations for the company's impending "super-cycle." Following robust quarterly results in November, which featured a revenue surge exceeding 33 percent, the market's attention has turned to forthcoming major releases such as "Borderlands 4" and "NBA 2K26."

Should investors sell immediately? Or is it worth buying Take-Two?

Current valuation presents an intriguing divergence. Traditional discounted cash flow (DCF) models suggest a fair value somewhat below the current trading level. However, the growth potential embedded in the new game slate implies the stock could be undervalued by roughly 10 percent. Professional investors appear to be siding with the growth narrative, betting that these new titles will drive substantial future earnings.

This aggressive institutional accumulation has built a solid foundation of support for the equity. The shares have already advanced over 19 percent since the start of the year. Market participants are now intently focused on the confirmation of specific release dates for the 2026 fiscal year. Should the company successfully execute its ambitious launch schedule, the current wave of institutional confidence is likely to be rewarded.
