Take-Two Interacti (TTWO) is going to report earnings on August 08. Here's a few things you should know about before the report drops.

$0.85 GAAP, on $1.11B in revenue. 

Bulls will want to hear that the company beat the analysts' estimates and is set to grow in coming quarters. Just as important as the earnings report, is the company's future.

Meanwhile, out of a dark cave, TTWO bears will lumber into the light. They'll want to hear that the company underperformed the analysts' estimates and is set to decline in coming quarters. The less rosy the report, the happier bears will be.

If you're new to playing earnings reports, it's important to be aware that sometimes the majority of a stock's price movement can be caused by the analysts' estimates, rather than from the earnings report itself. The more of these moves you watch, the better you'll recognize the signs over time.

Share price moves can have an impact on existing shareholder sentiment. As of July 31 shares of TTWO are trading at $132.73. Over the last 52-week period, the price is down -32.22%.
