The current stock price is around $145, which may present a buying opportunity for investors looking for growth in the gaming sector.

Insider selling has been notable, with significant shares sold by executives, which may raise concerns about their confidence in the company's future performance.
Despite recent upgrades, the consensus rating remains a "Hold," indicating that many analysts are cautious about the stock's short-term prospects.
The company has seen a decrease in insider ownership, with only 0.22% of the stock held by insiders, which could suggest a lack of alignment between management and shareholder interests.
