    Take two is three times smaller via market cap and Capcom is 8 times smaller, just saying looking at stock price alone doesn’t tell the full picture.

    Activision has also done multiple stock splits over the last 30 years.

      Stock price charts account for all splits/reverse splits, so it wouldn’t be a factor when comparing price over time.

      I agree with the first point though. Even just performing slightly below the market with such a massive company would make Kotick very desireable as a new CEO, unfortunately. Maybe some corps would not be fine with his reputation, but I doubt he will struggle to find a position in a new board room.

        The stock price itself does account for it in the charts, but it doesn’t speak to the market cap aspect.

          The charts are in percent, not dollars. It doesn’t matter that Capcom is 8 times smaller if investing $1 in it still yields a higher return on investment.

          Also, Take Two may be smaller, but… Grand Theft Auto.

            Not true, because of stock splits

            Also all I’m looking at is market cap, it doesn’t matter what games you like from them lol
