Revenue grew 18.2% year over year — +206% above the sector median of 5.9% — yet that top-line momentum sits on a foundation that is straining in almost every other direction. Operating margin runs at -1.6%, against a sector median of 20.0%, meaning the company is not converting that growth into profit at anything close to a peer rate. Debt/EBITDA of 26.4× exceeds the sector median of 2.5× by +940%, and the last reported quarter ended with EPS missing consensus by 112.5%, a gap that pulls against the otherwise strong beat-rate history analysts cite. The forward-axis composite of 60/100 reflects a market that expects a turn; consensus models earnings recovery, though the realized three-year EPS CAGR is missing from SEC filings, so the gap between expectation and record cannot be closed with hard data. The composite of 33/100 against the sector captures the imbalance: growth leads, but the rest lags.

Quarter-by-quarter classification · a retrospective read by the current logic · not a price forecast
Rule-based classification of fundamentals against the sector. Not a price forecast and not investment advice. The method did not see these quarters in real time; this is the current logic applied to past reports.
Priced at 31.6× of expected earnings; analyst sentiment is steady; has mostly beaten consensus.
Price against next year's expected earnings. The forward P/E already carries analyst optimism — read it alongside the “Versus consensus” line.
The three-month change in the share of positive analyst ratings. This is sentiment, not an earnings-estimate revision, and not a call to act.
The last few quarters are recent context, not a fixed rate. Consensus for near quarters is set low, so companies clear it routinely; over long horizons the forecasts run the other way, too high.
When TTWO reports on 2026-11-04, track whether revenue growth — currently 3.1× the sector median — is holding pace, and whether operating margin is narrowing toward the sector's 20.0% benchmark. The F-Score's single profitability miss is worth monitoring: a further slip there would weaken the 7/9 reading.
Focus on how management addresses the Debt/EBITDA of 2.54× — well above the sector median — and what repayment or refinancing timeline is disclosed. The leverage and liquidity sub-score of 2/3 signals one flag already; the 10-K should clarify which covenant or ratio is under pressure.
Pick two or three companies from the section 06 table and line up one metric — Debt/EBITDA or operating margin are the most instructive given TTWO's weak signals. The table is alphabetical with no ranking, so the comparison is yours to draw without a preset conclusion.

Rule-based classification of fundamentals against the sector. Not a price forecast and not investment advice.
A simplified retrospective read: no analyst forecast (not available historically); the source is the annual report as of the date, so neighbouring quarters can rest on the same data. Quarters with the same classification in a row are merged into one row — each row is one change in the read, not a separate quarter. One ticker is an illustration of the classification logic, not statistics. How we calculate →
