For most investors, how much a stock's price changes over time is important. This factor can impact your investment portfolio as well as help you compare investment results across sectors and industries.
FOMO, or the fear of missing out, also plays a role in investing, particularly with tech giants and popular consumer-facing stocks.

Analysts are anticipating more upside for TTWO.
Take-Two delivered strong fiscal second quarter results, highlighted by a 31% jump in GAAP net revenues, solid 33% growth in game sales and a 33% increase in Net Bookings. Recurrent consumer spending accounted for 73% of bookings, while digital revenues made up over 95% of total sales. Newly launched titles like NBA 2K26, Borderlands 4 and Mafia: The Old Country performed well, supported by continued momentum across GTA Online, GTA V and Zynga's mobile portfolio. Gross margin expanded, operating losses narrowed sharply, management raised its full-year outlook, operating cash flow improved and console and PC revenues posted strong growth. Still, the company missed earnings estimates, remains unprofitable and GTA VI's delay pushes major revenues into fiscal 2027. High operating expenses also continue to weigh on results.
The stock has jumped 6.84% over the past four weeks. Additionally, no earnings estimate has gone lower in the past two months, compared to 13 higher, for fiscal 2025; the consensus estimate has moved up as well.
