Take-Two stock jumps as tariff policy shifts

President Trump announced today that he had implemented a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs. In the interim, there will be a universal 10% import tax rate applied to imported goods from all countries except for China. Meanwhile, the tariff rate on imported Chinese products is set to rise from the 104% rate to a new rate of 125%. Despite the increased tariffs on goods from China, investors were extremely bullish on the broad delay for bigger tariffs on other countries.

What's next for Take-Two?

Take-Two is gearing up for the launch of Grand Theft Auto VI -- the latest installment in its hugely successful video game series. The title is on track to be released at an unspecified date later this year, and it's poised to be a massive performance driver for the company.

While macroeconomic uncertainty continues to be a significant risk factor for the stock, the likelihood that the game will wind up being a huge success could help continue to insulate Take-Two's valuation from volatility for the broader market.
