  • Deutsche Bank upgraded Take-Two Interactive to "buy" on Tuesday.
  • Analyst Ben Soff explained his bullish view in a research note today.
  • Take-Two Interactive stock is already up about 50% year-to-date.

Take-Two Interactive Software Inc (NASDAQ: TTWO) is already up 50% year-to-date but a Deutsche Bank analyst is convinced the stock is not of juice just yet.

Take-Two stock has a 15% upside

On Tuesday, Ben Soff upgraded the video game holding company to “buy” and said its shares could climb further to $175 – up another 15% from here.

The analyst is constructive on Take-Two Interactive stock is partially based on the upcoming installment of Grand Theft Auto. His research note reads:

Last week, the Nasdaq-listed firm confirmed that it plans on releasing the highly-anticipated GTA 6 trailer in December.

Take-Two recently lowered guidance

The bullish call arrives only days after Take-Two Interactive said it now expects net bookings to fall slightly short of $8.0 billion in fiscal 2025. Its previous guidance was for more than $8.0 billion.

Still, Ben Soff dubbed the updated guidance a positive sign as it confirms that bulk of the company’s pipeline remains on track.  

The New York-headquartered firm is slated to release 14 core titles combined in fiscal 2025 and 2026 which makes up for another good reason to buy Take-Two Interactive stock, he added.
