Analysts note that investors may have positively received the disclosed data, which was previously unavailable to the general public.
The Rockstar Games data leak, it seems, did not bring the hackers the expected result. The attackers tried to sell the stolen information for $200,000, but after no buyers were found, they published it for free. In the end, the leak only demonstrated how profitable the company's key franchises remain — such as Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption.
Moreover, the situation played into the hands of the parent company Take-Two Interactive. The day after the data was published, the company's market capitalization began to grow. On Tuesday, at the start of trading, it was $38.03 billion with a share price of about $202.26 per share. By 11:45 a.m. ET, quotes had risen by 2.63% to $206.66 per share, adding approximately $1 billion to the company's total value.
Despite the growth, Take-Two shares are still about 25% below their 52-week high of $264.79. However, current figures are significantly higher than the minimum level of $187.63 recorded in February after the publication of the latest financial report.
