Deutsche Bank Publishes ATVI, ERTS, THQI Preview

Deutsche Bank writes it its report, “The bigger focus should be more on upcoming guidance for 4Q 2011, during the crucial holiday season, where the bulk of publisher revs/profits are generated for the year. Overall, we think A|B remains once again well positioned this holiday season with CoD MW3 pre-order momentum continuing through Sep, as well as the upcoming Skylanders launch. Additionally, we believe 2012 will bring sales growth reacceleration driven by new Blizzard launches (Diablo III and Starcraft expansion pack) as well as recurring digital sales of CoD expansion packs and Elite”.

Companies included in the Deutsche Bank report are: Activision Blizzard (NASDAQ: ATVI), Electronic Arts (NASDAQ: ERTS), and Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT)
