<p>Somewhat displaced by the association with shady cryptocurrencies, metaverse stocks and the broader metaverse universe should be viewed as a foundation in progress. It may or may not include alternate reality/virtual reality devices, but the building blocks are clear: GPUs, CPUs, content, content creation tools and blockchain tech at large for in-game digital assets.</p>



<p>According to April&rsquo;s <em>Metaverse &ndash; Global Strategic Business Report</em> from Research and Markets, the <a href="https://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/5548465/metaverse-global-strategic-business-report">metaverse global market</a> is still poised for great gains, at a 34.8% compound annual growth rate (<span>CAGR</span>), from $90 billion in 2023 to $980.5 billion by 2030.</p>



<p>This applies to both the software and hardware metaverse segment, at 33.9% and 37.9% CAGR, respectively.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p>Keeping that in mind, which metaverse stocks to buy at this moment in time? These three stocks are a good place to start.</p>



<h2>Intel (INTC)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/intc1600d-300x169.jpg" alt="Close up of Intel (INTC) sign at their San Jose campus in Silicon Valley"><div>Source: Sundry Photography / Shutterstock.com</div></div><p><strong>Intel </strong>(NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/intc-stock-quote/"><strong>INTC</strong></a>) has been through the most embarrassing period in its history. Since late 2022, users have been reporting instability issues with 13th- and 14th-generation desktop CPUs. Most recently on July 29th, the company came to the <a href="https://community.intel.com/t5/Processors/July-2024-Update-on-Instability-Reports-on-Intel-Core-13th-and/m-p/1617113#M74792" target="_blank">conclusion</a> the culprit is elevated operating voltage.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Although there is a scheduled microcode fix for mid-August, it is merely a preventative measure as the affected processors are permanently degraded/damaged without any recall plans. Effectively, this makes the entire Intel Raptor Lake CPU suspect.</p>



<p>Normally, such reputational damage would place INTC on a bearish list, but it is more likely that this is Intel&rsquo;s bottom. Alongside the Raptor Lake Refresh announced last year, the company&rsquo;s major shift will happen with Intel 20A (2 nanometer (<span>nm</span>) node process) and 18A (1.8nm node process) during 2025 and 2026.</p>



<p>For comparison, Intel&rsquo;s current processors are predominantly 10nm and 7nm. The lower the figure, the higher the CPU&rsquo;s capacity to have lower power consumption but greater processing power due to greater transistor density on the chip. Given that Intel&rsquo;s CPU and integrated graphics market share is still dominant, it is safe to say that the reputational damage has little staying power.</p>



<p>The company boasts a market capitalization of <a href="https://tokenist.com/stocks-to-watch-today-intel-nvidia-and-u-s-bancorp/#:~:text=market%20capitalization%20of%20%24151.468%20billion" target="_blank">$151.468 billion</a>. It is seen as a potential beneficiary in light of increasing tensions around Taiwan.</p>



<p>Intel is benefiting from the U.S. government through the CHIPS Act&rsquo;s $8.5 billion grant and $11 billion in loans. The plan is to make the Western hemisphere less reliant on <strong>Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing </strong>(NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/tsm-stock-quote/"><strong>TSM</strong></a>). Intel will be in the center of the revitalization.</p>



<p>Year-to-date, INTC stock is down 35% at $30.83 per share. Nasdaq&rsquo;s forecasting data puts the average INTC price target at $39 per share. The low-end target of $29 per share is aligned with the current price while the ceiling is $68 per share.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Take-Two Interactive Software (TTWO)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/ttwo1600-300x169.jpg" alt="an image of the box for Take Two's (TTWO) Red Dead Redemption 2 for the PlayStation 4"><div>Source: Thomas Pajot / Shutterstock.com</div></div><p>Owner of the iconic <em>Grand Theft Auto</em> (GTA) and <em>Red Dead Redemption</em> gaming franchises,&nbsp;<strong>Take-Two Interactive Software</strong> (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/ttwo-stock-quote/"><strong>TTWO</strong></a>) is one of the strongest metaverse stocks to buy. Under the Rockstar Games banner, GTA6 will likely break sales records again when released in the fall of 2025.</p>



<p>Without a doubt, Take-Two&rsquo;s global brands are the closest that exist to a compelling AAA metaverse experience. GTA Online already functions as such with multiple expansions, artist contributions and role-playing communities. It is monetized through GTA+ subscriptions, in-game purchases and Shark Cards as virtual currency packs.</p>



<p>In fiscal <a href="https://ir.take2games.com/static-files/e357ad06-0762-4e80-b80c-e3869252fdfe" target="_blank">Q4 2024</a>, Take-Two reported $5.35 billion in revenue, basically flat to last year. The company delivered a net loss of $3.74 billion compared to a $1.12 billion loss in the year-ago quarter. Take-Two is a cyclical company in between large projects with massive payoffs. This outcome was not unexpected.</p>



<p>The company&rsquo;s acquisition of mobile juggernaut Zynga for $12.7 billion in May 2022 only accentuated its cyclicality. Yet  Take-Two is building the&nbsp;royal flush of metaverse portfolios. Its most recent $460 million acquisition of Gearbox Entertainment, known for its legendary <em>Borderlands</em> franchise, could be huge.</p>



<p>Presently priced at $150.70, TTWO stock is down 5.3% year-to-date, aligning with the 52-week average. Nasdaq&rsquo;s average TTWO price target is $182.59 with even the pessimistic outlook of $154 above the current price level.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Nexon (NEXOY)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/videogames1600d-300x169.jpg" alt="Metaverse stock. gaming cryptos"><div>Source: Shutterstock</div></div><p>Korean <strong>Nexon </strong>(OTCMKTS:<a href="https://investorplace.com/cryptocurrency/nexoy/"><strong>NEXOY</strong></a>) has made the most progress in integrating both blockchain and metaverse precepts. Built with <strong>Unity Software&rsquo;s</strong> (NYSE:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/u-stock-quote/"><strong>U</strong></a></span>) game engine in September 2022, Nexon launched Nexton Town. It created a virtual community hub combining characters from its biggest hits, like <em>MapleStory</em> and <em>Mabinogi</em>.</p>



<p>In conjunction with <strong>Tencent Holdings&rsquo; </strong>(OTCMKTS:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/tcehy-stock-quote/"><strong>TCEHY</strong></a>) Cloud, Nexon Town also offers real-time video communication for more immersive metaverse experiences. MapleStory Universe went further by partnering with Polygon, the blockchain layer 2 scalability solution for <strong>Ethereum</strong> (<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/cryptocurrency/eth-usd/"><strong>ETH-USD</strong></a></span>) for in-universe assets in the form of non-fungible tokens.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Together with Tencent, Nexon is attempting to re-energize the Chinese market with MapleStory and <em>Dungeon &amp; Fighter</em>. In the <a href="https://pdf.irpocket.com/C3659/BbNL/MVnz/zQGx.pdf" target="_blank">Q1 earnings report</a>, the company delivered net income of 35.9 billion yen, a 32% year-over-year drop. In Q2, Nexon expects a significant uptick in revenue in Japan, North America and Europe owing to MapleStory, <em>The Finals </em>and <em>HIT: The World</em>.</p>



<p>Overall, the company beat the expectations on revenue, net income and operating income, despite the cyclical downturn. Year-to-date, NEXOY stock is up 22.4%, presently priced at $21.41 per share.&nbsp;</p>
