The Motley Fool calls Dutch Bros and Take-Two Interactive potential buys after their shares fell 34% and about 17%, respectively, in the 12 months to Sept. 21. Dutch Bros raised 2026 guidance, while Take-Two’s Grand Theft Auto VI is scheduled for Nov. 19, 2026.
Dutch Bros beat second-quarter revenue and earnings estimates. Revenue rose 32% year over year to $551 million; company-operated same-shop sales climbed 8.3%, and systemwide comparable sales rose 5.8%, marking its 13th consecutive quarter of same-shop growth. Its new 2026 revenue outlook is $2.1 billion–$2.13 billion, versus 2025 revenue of $1.6 billion; higher coffee costs pressured near-term results.
Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick described pre-orders for the November release as “unprecedented and astonishing,” though pre-orders can be canceled. Grand Theft Auto V has sold more than 230 million units worldwide since 2013. Recurrent consumer spending, including in-game purchases, accounted for 84% of Take-Two’s net bookings last quarter; the company forecasts about $8.1 billion in fiscal 2027 net bookings, up from $6.7 billion in fiscal 2026, which ended in March.
