- This is also because the current valuation likely already prices in a lot.

- Take-Two no longer solely or mainly represents the well-known iconic Rockstar Games franchises as it once did. Now, following the costly Zynga acquisition, half of its identity is tied to mobile gaming, diluting Rockstar Games within the conglomerate.
