Stifel Nicolaus analysts commented, "On Tuesday, Take-Two reported FY3Q results that exceeded expectations, with non-GAAP EPS of $0.99 (vs. $0.89), which beat our estimate ($0.94) and consensus ($0.97) ~ the variance was due largely to better top line, with non-GAAP revenue at $745 million (+53%) or about $15 million higher than our forecast.

FY2017 guidance was increased, and we've made upward adjustments to estimates as well. Overall, we thought this was a solid quarter for Take-Two, believe our investment thesis remains intact, and continue to recommend purchase of the shares." (2/9/2017)
• 3. Benchmark Co. analysts commented, "We view the Company's share price risk / reward profile balancing positive; valuation should benefit from strong execution over conservative guidance, an on-going digital sales opportunity and related margin expansion as the industry accelerates its transition to digital and a strong fiscal '18 growth potential, offset somewhat by an on-going roll forward of anticipated Rockstar games and op-ex growth. We view management as credible, with recent performance generating financial upside; we believe their fiscal '17 guidance is conservative, and note the recent trends in digital and recurring digital spends have demonstrated growth."
