    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
