HAPPY WEDNESDAY TO THE STREET

Cerebras (CBRS) gave investors their first look at the books, and they bolted.

Shares cratered 17% today after the AI chipmaker's debut earnings flagged thinning core margins through 2026. CEO Andrew Feldman’s defense? The Street simply misunderstood him.

That may have worked on the startup circuit. But going public means everyone reads your numbers… and everyone gets to argue with your math.

Press Start

BTIG just hit start on Take-Two.

Analyst Clark Lampen launched coverage with a Buy, and the whole thesis rests on one game: Grand Theft Auto VI. He sees the title kicking off a multi-year step-up in the company's earnings power.

Worth The Wait

After years of delay, GTA VI is holding onto its reported release date of November 19, with Rockstar opening pre-orders around $80.

Lampen expects the launch to lift earnings for years, and notes the stock has historically seen its multiple expand during the pre-release marketing run.

The game’s predecessor has sold millions of copies since 2013.

Consensus Co-Op

Wall Street is mostly on the same team. Of the 32 analysts covering Take-Two, 30 rate it Buy or Strong Buy and just two sit at Hold.

Shares are in the red year-to-date, but have climbed over the past week, as GTA hype builds. The house usually wins, especially when it owns Los Santos.
