Barron’s reports that there are rumors that Take-Two (TTWO) may receive a takeover offer soon. It turned down an offer from Electronic Arts (ERTS) last year. The shares are up 12% to $9.43.
The stock is a dog. Earnings have been poor and the shares have been changing hands at $8, well below the $27.95 that the stock hit when it looked like the firm would be bought. Analysts estimate that in the quarter that will end in April, revenue will fall 60% and that TTWO will lose $.13 a share.
A poor decision by management and the board not to dump the company has cost shareholders dearly. With its prospects dimming, Take-Two will be lucky to get a new offer over $15.

Credit Card Companies Are Doing Something Nuts
Credit card companies are at war. The biggest issuers are handing out free rewards and benefits to win the best customers.
It’s possible to find cards paying unlimited 1.5%, 2%, and even more today. That’s free money for qualified borrowers, and the type of thing that would be crazy to pass up. Those rewards can add up to thousands of dollars every year in free money, and include other benefits as well.
We’ve assembled some of the best credit cards for users today. Don’t miss these offers because they won’t be this good forever.
Flywheel Publishing has partnered with CardRatings for our coverage of credit card products. Flywheel Publishing and CardRatings may receive a commission from card issuers.
