Take-Two Interactive will be up against easier comps “as such user growth/engagement trends are lapped and the industry resumes more normalized growth dynamics,” the analyst said. 

The company has increased its mobile gaming exposure with the Zynga acquisition, and this category “should provide above industry wide growth in the coming years,” Sheridan said.

With global chip shortages and logistic headwinds abating, the console cycle will begin to gain momentum, he said. 

TTWO Price Action: Shares of Take-Two Interactive were trading 2.17% higher at $119.85 Thursday morning.
