William Blair: THQ will grow 30 times bigger

4th March 2007

Analysts from William Blair & Company forecast dazzlingly prosperious future for the video games publisher THQ, having given its stock rating â€œoutperformâ€ (expect excess of productivity), and calling the company growth â€œaggressiveâ€. In its latest financial report THQ announced serious exceeding its own forecasts and increasing them for the future. But, in any case, even the highest income forecast is $ 1.15 billion, that is not very solid for one of the leading publishers, into which, analysts believe, THQ can turn. In 2007 each share will bring its owner at least 1.21% dividends, and in 2008 - 1.36%. According to analysts, THQ is ready for a serious growth, up to increasing their weight on the market into 20 to 30 times during the current console cycle that should be possible due to all shrewd moves, made by the publishers. Though, it is not at all the limit, as THQ can grow even 35 times bigger, if pays attention to such industries as inner games advertising, the production of microchips, and some others.
