But seeing as shares of NTDOY stock can be pricey, you might be looking to alternatives within the same vertical as Nintendo. And of course, there are other companies that exist within the video gaming space that present compelling investment cases…
Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc: TTWO
Grand Theft Auto is probably their best-known game franchise. TTWO boasts about 1.5 billion dollars in revenue, and a stock history that shows substantial gains over time. Case in point: If you’d bought in at four dollars in 1997 and sold today, you’d have done earned about 32x on your money.
Activision Blizzard Inc: ATVI
Ian Cooper of Investorplace.com hails ATVI as one of the stocks to buy before the new consoles drop in 2020.
