Take-Two Stock Hit $206.66 After GTA Leak Coverage on Apr 14
Original: GTA Leak Raises Take-Two Interactive Stock Value By Over $1 Billion View original →
Take-Two Interactive stock was at $206.66 per share at 11:45 a.m. ET on Apr 14, up 2.63% from roughly $202.26 as leaked Rockstar data circulated, according to Insider Gaming. The report calculated that the move added about $1 billion to Take-Two's market value after the company entered Tuesday trading at about $38.03 billion. The Reddit post in r/pcgaming reached 1,057 points and 56 comments at crawl time.
Market snapshot
The article frames the move as an unexpected reaction to a leak that hackers had reportedly tried to sell for $200,000 before releasing it publicly. Rather than showing weakness, the leaked material was described as reinforcing how much money Rockstar and Take-Two make from franchises including Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption.
- Take-Two market value entering Tuesday: about $38.03 billion
- Approximate starting share price cited: $202.26
- Reported 11:45 a.m. ET share price: $206.66
- Intraday change at that time: up 2.63%
- Estimated market-value gain: about $1 billion
The story also gives useful context for the size of the move. Insider Gaming notes that Take-Two remained well below its 52-week high of $264.79, while still trading nearly $20 above the 52-week low of $187.63 reached around the company's February earnings report. In other words, the leak-linked move was meaningful for the day but did not erase the broader decline from the annual high.
This is a market reaction story, not a new GTA 6 product detail. The strongest fact is that investors appeared to read the leaked revenue context as supportive rather than damaging during the morning window covered by the article. Share prices can move again by close, and the report itself flags that the intraday price could rise further or fall back.
The Reddit discussion spread the same link in both r/pcgaming and r/gamernews, but the higher-scoring r/pcgaming post is the translation group used here. For readers, the practical takeaway is narrow: leaked Rockstar business data, despite the ransom framing, coincided with a short-term boost in Take-Two's public valuation on Apr 14.
