Here are three profitable stocks in a growing market, and a few reasons why investors should keep an eye on them.
Tencent (OTC: TCEHY) and Take-Two Interactive (NASDAQ: TTWO) represent two very different ways to invest in video games. Tencent, one of China’s top tech companies, is the world’s largest video game publisher. Its sprawling portfolio includes Honor of Kings, PUBG Mobile, League of Legends, and Clash of Clans; nearly half of Fortnite publisher Epic Games; and big stakes in Activision Blizzard, Ubisoft, and other companies.
Take-Two Interactive (NASDAQ: TTWO) has a new asset in its portfolio. The company’s 2K publishing label announced Tuesday that it acquired the video game unit of privately held HookBang. The team members that are joining 2K/Take-Two will be rebranded as Visual Concepts Austin, and be part of the similarly named Visual Concept.
How do you pick the next stock to invest in? One way would be to spend days of research browsing through thousands of publicly traded companies. However, an easier way is to look at the stocks that smart money investors are collectively bullish on. Hedge funds and other institutional investors usually invest large amounts of […]
2K today announced the Company has acquired HookBang, LLC’s Austin-based video game division that will become part of Visual Concepts, the distinguished, wholly-owned studio and developer of the iconic NBA® 2K video game franchise. Financial terms were not disclosed.

StockJumpers trajectory analysis reveals a drop in price post release on soft investor sentiment. Consensus has earnings at .76/share on bookings of 512 million. They may not meet that or if they do, we don’t see them beating by much. Though competitor EA which just reported a beat and the stock went up post release we are not seeing that here.
We are overall SHORT on the event.

TRADE PLAN:
ENTRY: SELL
STOP LOSS: 5%
TAKE PROFIT: 9%
___________________
UPDATE: We remain biased short on this trade. The stock is down almost 4% from open so the concern is the move may be priced in. Factor that in your decision to trade it.
POST RELEASE ACTION: Trading was halted prior to the release as they printed much lower expectations. The stock dropped 7% – and then back up to near close level. We grabbed a quick profit and are short again with a belief it will resume dropping in the am.
