    By Timothy Green - May 15, 2013 | Tickers: ATVI, EA, TTWO

    One of the most successful video game franchises in history, Call of Duty, is set for a new release this holiday season. Activision Blizzard (NASDAQ: ATVI), the company behind Call of Duty, has been releasing a new game in the series every year since Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare was released in 2007 and sold over 16 million copies. The most recent title in the series, released last year more »

  • Is It Finally Time To Game Out?

    By Marshall Hargrave - May 13, 2013 | Tickers: ATVI, EA, TTWO

    Electronic Arts (NASDAQ: EA) has rallied some 23% over the past week, putting the stock up 50% year to date, is there any room for investors to make money? The big win for EA was guidance of 2014 earnings that were well above expectations; management guided 2014 EPS to $1.20, compared to average analysts' estimates of $1.10.

    By Phillip Woolgar - May 9, 2013 | Tickers: ATVI, EA, TTWO

  • Will Video Game Publishers Thrive or Die in 2013?

    By Leo Sun - May 9, 2013 | Tickers: ATVI, EA, TTWO

    The video game industry has been a tough industry to invest in over the past five years. The three largest game publishers in the U.S. - Activision Blizzard (NASDAQ: ATVI), Electronic Arts (NASDAQ: EA) and Take-Two Interactive (NASDAQ: TTWO) - have all failed to claw back to their pre-crisis levels of 2008. Declining sales of software during that period, confirmed by respective year-on-year declines of 25% and 10% in February and more »

  • This Should Be a Great Year for Video Games!

    By Matthew Frankel - May 7, 2013 | Tickers: MSFT, SNE, TTWO

    A producer of some of the most popular video games on the market, Take-Two Interactive (NASDAQ: TTWO) has more than doubled since reaching its 52-week low of $7.37 last summer. Although the overall video game industry has been on a decline lately, with new hardware due from the major console manufacturers, plus several huge new games set to be released this year, I figure that this software developer is more »

  • Will Fantastic Game Launches Help These Stocks Soar?

    By Nihar Patel - April 15, 2013 | Tickers: ATVI, EA, TTWO

    I am going to do some serious backpedaling, because BioShock Infinite from Take-Two Interactive (NASDAQ: TTWO) is game of the year material. I was wrong to question whether it would be a good game. This is based on reviews and what I have heard from people I trust. I have not had the time to sit down with the game yet. I am a player that needs to get to more »

  • How You Should Play These Gaming Stocks

    By Shweta Dubey - April 11, 2013 | Tickers: ATVI, EA, TTWO

    Looking at the historical trend, game makers have always faced “air pockets” whenever any next generation console is launched. 2013 seems to be one of those years, as the console-transition era begins.

    Sony recently issued specs of its latest PS4 console. On the other hand, although Microsoft has not officially declared its next-gen console, but looking at Sony's plans for PS4, the company will not wait too long.

    By Shweta Dubey - April 8, 2013 | Tickers: ATVI, EA, MSFT, SNE, TTWO

    Looking at the historical trend, the game makers have always faced “air pockets”, whenever any next generation console is launched. Year 2013 seems to be one of those years, as the console-transition era begins. Sony Corporation (NYSE: SNE) recently issued specs of its latest PS4 console. It may launch the product by this May.

  • Turnaround for Electronic Arts As CEO Resigns?

    By RyanGlosier - April 1, 2013 | Tickers: ATVI, EA, TTWO, ZNGA

    Video-game publisher Electronic Arts (NASDAQ: EA)  has come on hard times in recent years as the company has attempted to transition itself into a cutting-edge gaming provider and not just a disc and console-centric developer. The stock has lost around 64 percent over the last five years and the company's CEO, John Riccitiello, resigned last week after "shortcomings" in EA's financial results for the last fiscal year.

  • WrestleMania's Grapple with Growth

    By Arturo Cuevas - March 28, 2013 | Tickers: MSG, TTWO, WWE

    The much ballyhooed 29th edition of WrestleMania, World Wrestling Entertainment's (NYSE: WWE) flagship event, reels off April 7, with its progenitor pulling all stops to elevate anew its ranking on Wall Street. The company, which also maintains a movie-making segment, is refocusing on what it does best—developing, producing, and marketing pro-wrestling events.

    WWE indicated its renewed thrust at the end of February, when it reported improved 2012 fourth more »

    By Marshall Hargrave - March 28, 2013 | Tickers: ALU, ADI, BIG, ORLY, TTWO

    Billionaire Steve Cohen added a number of stocks to his portfolio last quarter. He manages some $14 billion via his SAC Capital hedge fund, with over half of that being his own personal wealth. Outlined below are Cohen and SAC Capital's five largest new additions to their portfolio last quarter. 

    The best part about these five stocks is that they all are all less-covered and less well-known than some more »

  • Do Great Games Equal Great Stock Opportunities?

    By Marie Flanigan - March 27, 2013 | Tickers: ATVI, EA, TTWO

    Take-Two Interactive Software (NASDAQ: TTWO) has delivered what may turn out to be the most critically acclaimed video game of all time with Bioshock Infinite. It is also taking impressive pre-orders for the highly-anticipated Grand Theft Auto V, so I thought it was time to look at Take-Two as a company alongside some of the competition to see if now is a good time to invest in video game stocks more »

  • Are Video Games the Next Consumer Staple?

    By David Mercer - March 27, 2013 | Tickers: ATVI, EA, TTWO

    As you may know, people of all ages, but in particular 20- and sometimes 30-somethings, sometimes spend an inordinate amount of time playing video games. While I personally stopped playing this form of entertainment over 20 years ago, many still find these activities both pleasurable and arguably addicting. Obviously there's a market for this form on entertainment, and as you might suspect corporations have been meeting the needs of more »

  • Gaming The Gaming Industry

    By Marshall Hargrave - March 23, 2013 | Tickers: ATVI, EA, FB, TTWO, ZNGA

    Electronic Arts (NASDAQ: EA) saw its stock tank last week, falling as much as 8%, after CEO John Riccitiello announced plans to step down at the end of the month. The company also announced that its fourth quarter results could come in at the low end of its previous earnings guidance of $1.08 billion. But is this just a minor set back for the company?

  • What To Make of Botched Game Release for this Company

    By Chris Lau - March 15, 2013 | Tickers: ATVI, EA, TTWO

    When a company like Activision (NASDAQ: ATVI) releases its blockbuster Call of Duty series, investors are nearly assured that Activision will produce strong sales when it reports earnings. It is no surprise that after spending nearly a year range-bound between $10.50 and $12.50, Activision finally broke the range, and closed at around $14.80 recently. The success of the game maker in its operations would explain why investors more »

  • Is it time to short EA?

    By gary lee - March 9, 2013 | Tickers: ATVI, AMZN, EA, TTWO, ZNGA

    Electronic Arts, Inc (NASDAQ: EA)released SimCity 5 on March 5th.  When a highly anticipated game is released, investors can usually expect the companies' stock to climb in anticipation of higher earnings.  

    Unfortunately, the botched release and draconian Digital Rights Management (DRM) software on SimCity 5 has gamers upset enough to take action.  Users of the popular site reddit.com have called for gamers to cancel preorders for future games more »

  • A Huge Untapped Market

    By Chad Henage - March 8, 2013 | Tickers: ATVI, EA, TTWO, ZNGA

    Periodically I read through the headlines on companies I follow on Fool.com. One headline by Dan Carroll in particular caught my eye, “Activision-Blizzard (NASDAQ: ATVI) Announces Diablo 3 For Sony Game Consoles.” The fact that Activision is developing Diablo 3 for the PlayStation 3 and 4 isn't the headline, it's the precedent this sets that's a much bigger deal. The short version is, Activision is beginning to realize that games shouldn't be limited to one format. If the company capitalizes on this opportunity, everyone else in the industry needs to duck and cover.

  • Activision-Blizzard Creating New Highs

    By Nihar Patel - March 6, 2013 | Tickers: ATVI, EA, TTWO

    I have been following Activision-Blizzard (NASDAQ: ATVI) for years. If anybody else has followed it for the last few years, then you know there is cause to celebrate. For an Activision follower, this is a historic time of 52-week highs outside of a tight range. The stock is pushing into the $14s. Heart of the Swarm is coming, and November 2013 will probably see a new Call of Duty game more »
