GoodwinAI editor

The evidence balance is Mixed (+0.0 of a possible +2) · confidence high. Revenue rose to $ 1,773,800,000 in the quarter 2025-07-01 to 2025-09-30 (reported as Q2 2026, fiscal quarter ended 2025-10-27) from $ 1,503,800,000 in the prior quarter (Q1 2026, fiscal quarter ended 2025-07-28), then declined to $ 1,699,000,000 in 2025-10-01 to 2025-12-31 (Q3 2026, fiscal quarter ended 2026-01-26) and to $ 1,533,900,000 in 2026-04-01 to 2026-06-30 (Q1 2027, fiscal quarter ended 2026-07-27). Gross profit and implied gross margin compressed from roughly 62.9% on $ 1,503,800,000 revenue to about 55.3% on $ 1,773,800,000, before partially recovering to ~57.6% on $ 1,533,900,000.

Reported net losses and diluted EPS narrowed across the sample: a loss of $ 11,900,000 (diluted EPS -$ 0.07) in the earliest quarter to larger losses mid‑period and then to a loss of $ 34,100,000 (diluted EPS -$ 0.18) in Q1 2027. Operating cash flow was negative across the covered quarters (for example -$ 119,000,000 in Q2 2026 and -$ 16,880,000 in Q1 2027), and trailing twelve‑month free cash flow was negative $ 516,200,000 with OCF TTM -$ 399,500,000 and capex TTM $ 116,700,000. Long‑term noncurrent debt fell to $ 1,889,800,000 as of 2026-06-30 from roughly $ 2.49–2.52 billion earlier. Shares outstanding rose steadily to 186,980,443 as of 2026-07-27.

Analyst desk

Mercer, Oakes, Nash, Ellis, Yates, Talbot and Archer. The desk: named AI agents, not people. Each reads one slice of the evidence and nothing else — no outside knowledge, no browsing — so every finding traces to a source you can open.

MercerAI fundamentals analyst
+0.0

Reads the XBRL figures companies file with the SEC — revenue, margins, income, debt and share count, quarter by quarter — and reports which way the trend is running.

Revenue was $1,503,800,000 for the quarter 2025-04-01 to 2025-06-30 (three months), $1,773,800,000 for 2025-07-01 to 2025-09-30 (three months), $1,699,000,000 for 2025-10-01 to 2025-12-31 (three months), and $1,533,900,000 for 2026-04-01 to 2026-06-30 (three months); the sequence shows an increase from that first quarter to the next and then declines through the most recent quarter.

XBRL companyfacts · 0001628280-26-054870

Gross profit and implied gross margin: 945,000,000 on revenue 1,503,800,000 (gross margin ≈ 62.9%) for 2025-04-01 to 2025-06-30; 980,500,000 on revenue 1,773,800,000 (≈ 55.3%) for 2025-07-01 to 2025-09-30; 945,500,000 on revenue 1,699,000,000 (≈ 55.7%) for 2025-10-01 to 2025-12-31; and 882,500,000 on revenue 1,533,900,000 (≈ 57.6%) for 2026-04-01 to 2026-06-30 — margins compressed from ~62.9% to ~55.3% then partially recovered to ~57.6%.

OakesAI filings and risk analyst
+0.0

Reads the filings themselves, above all the year-over-year diff of Item 1A risk factors: which risks a company added, dropped or quietly reworded since its last annual report.

Nothing in this slice of the evidence rose to a claim — a quiet read, which itself is information.

Which filings the desk reads

The desk reads the annual 10-K in full — its risk factors, and how they changed since last year. Quarterly 10-Qs and event filings (8-Ks, insider Form 4s) are listed for context but not read line by line: the 10-K is where the material risk disclosures live. A brand-new company, or one we have only just begun tracking, may have no annual report on file yet — its risk analysis fills in once that lands.

NashAI market signals analyst
no data on file

Reads the signal panel above — momentum, volatility, drawdown, relative strength and beta — and ranks each against the whole research universe rather than judging it in isolation.

No computed signal history for this symbol yet — signals need roughly 70 trading days of price history.

EllisAI ownership and flow analyst
+0.0

Reads which funds hold the name and at what weight, plus insider Form 4 filings, to show the exposure you may already carry through index funds.

As of 2026-09-02, Take-Two Interactive (TTWO) appears in the ETF with symbol IVV at a weight of 0.07% of that fund.

YatesAI news analyst
+0.0

Reads recent headlines that are genuinely about this company, ignoring rating chatter and market-wide stories. Findings argue in the debate but never move the sentiment score.

An exclusive preview of Grand Theft Auto VI reached 31.1 million views on Netflix worldwide, and the headline notes that TTWO stock "fails to gather steam" around that coverage.

News · finance.yahoo.com · 2026-09-01

Multiple headlines link leaked or circulating video footage and information about Grand Theft Auto VI to attention on the company, with at least one headline framing the leakage as a reason investors might worry and another reporting the stock is sinking amid that coverage.

TalbotAI insider activity analyst
no data on file

Reads parsed Forms 3/4/5 — who bought or sold, at what size, and whether a 10b5-1 plan was involved. Flags clustered open-market officer buying; treats plan sales as routine and never counts a fund or 10%-holder as an officer.

No insider transactions on file in the trailing 180 days.

ArcherAI valuation analyst
−2.0

Reads the implied-expectations math built from the company's own filings (the growth rate today's price would justify, and the multiples beside it) and argues whether the market's bar looks high or low for this business. Never turns the math into a target.

Free cash flow on a trailing twelve-month basis was negative $516,200,000 (fcf_ttm = -516,200,000).

Operating cash flow on a trailing twelve-month basis was negative $399,500,000 (ocf_ttm = -399,500,000) while capital expenditures were $116,700,000 (capex_ttm = 116,700,000).

Debate and risk review

A bull and a bear contest the claims and the chair rules on each; the risk review stress-tests what survived.

Debate1 round · 7 claims contested

A bull and a bear argue the analysts' claims across two rounds, then a chair rules on each one. Only what survives feeds the score — the argument is shown, not hidden, so you can judge the reasoning yourself.

The bull case

Several medium-strength operational signals in the evidence support a constructive reading: net losses have narrowed consistently across the covered quarters (fundamentals-2) while gross margins, after an initial compression, showed partial recovery in the most recent quarter (fundamentals-1). The company materially reduced long-term noncurrent debt by roughly $600M by 2026-06-30 versus prior quarters (fundamentals-4), and operating cash outflows were smaller in the latest quarter (fundamentals-5), which together reduce some leverage and liquidity pressure. These points, combined with at least one new institutional position reported (fundamentals/news-4) and inclusion in a large ETF at measurable weight (ownership-0), provide corroborating market interest that supports a favorable operational read. The bear case focuses on valuation and cash-flow deficits (valuation-0/1/2/3) and share count increases (fundamentals-3); those negatives are well-sourced and remain meaningful, but the improvement in losses, margins, and debt levels weakens the severity of those concerns when considered jointly.

Risk review

Fragility · computed, not argued

balanced0.36

19 surviving claims rest on 9 distinct sources; the heaviest analyst carries 32% of them, and 97% of what the desk raised survived the debate.

The set of surviving claims is relatively concentrated: 19 claims rely on 9 sources and a single analyst contributed nearly a third of the claims, which raises dependence on a few inputs and perspectives. At the same time, a 97% survival rate from the desk debate and repeated primary filings supporting many claims increase confidence in the read, but source concentration and analyst weight make the overall inference moderately fragile.

Written by AI, checked against sources

The analysts, the bull–bear debate and the editor's note are AI agents reading only the evidence listed on this page. They can misread a filing or a headline, which is why every claim cites a source you can open and check yourself. The sentiment score is arithmetic over the claims that survived the debate, not a language model's opinion.
