THQ, Inc. (NASDAQ:THQI)

Oh boy, here is a toss up. THQ Inc. has been threatened that they may be kicked off of the NASDAQ. Don't want to be the one who has to catch this falling knife. Possible reverse stock split? Best possible scenario for your average investor is some big wig takes it private.

Can someone say takeover? Looks like a good way to double my money.

Big miss on the earnings! I was going to go bullish on this one, but swing and a miss! It's going to go down for a few weeks at least.

knife catching, looking for short squeeze

THQ, Inc is in a tough spot. They have 3 best selling games, but too much chaff doesn't bode too well. The company has a tradition of playing it too easy, imho, to make a resurgence. I expect sales of their product to drop off >15% for year ending 2012.

How much lower can it go? I think not much, and just look at the potential upswing

1/2 a billion in sales and worth 60 million....cmon man that's way too low

Technical monthly and UL pitch

From their latest Quarterly report:

"We expect to record these charges of up to $45.0 million, in the aggregate, during the second quarter of fiscal 2012 as actions are completed and facilities vacated."

It appears that the stock has been falling lately because next quarter the company is going to recording an expense that is 50% the size of all expenses for the previous quarter. My guess is that this is why the stock has been pushed down so far over the last quarter.

The problem with my hypothesis is that the majority of the fall came two weeks before 10-Q was released.

Giving the low price of 1.80$/share + the new Montreal studio and big titles upcoming... it's a bargain

Unbelievable just how badly THQ has been killed. It's as if everyone was shocked when the company reported a quarterly loss this past quarter. If you look historically, they almost always report losses in two of their four quarters. THQ is still stuck selling CD video games as opposed to digital media, so that does hamper their sales, but on the all they should be profitable to the tune of $0.10-$0.20 for the year by my estimates. Tons and tons of cash in the coffers and a forward P/E under 9. Keep in mind this is a company that raised its forecast for the second half of the year. Absolute bargain basement pricing here.

Watching this one to buy when its low, expecting earning after Thanksgiving.

I have to feel this guy is a little over sold in the short term on the Homefront FAIL. Long term I am not so confident on its prospects.

Chill out. Jeez

THQ is in an increasingly-overcrowded video game market and relies primarily on TV and movie license-driven content, which historically has produced poor products and low revenues. Its chief liability is its comparative lack of exposure to online gaming. Its one saving grace may be the Warhammer 40K license, which may improve once more details of the forthcoming movie Ultramarines are announced, but all indications point to a limited-release or straight-to-DVD release, which would be a serious waste of a potentially lucrative license. This suggests to me a management mentality favoring short-term profits and an inability to fuly develop the potential of their intellectual capital.

Buyout target

Right now people are economically hurting so video game sales are down. Nevertheless, video games are a solid staple that, once the economy begins to return, will be in high demand again. This makes for a temporary 'sale' on many of the video game stocks like THQI that will pay off nicely when things come back around. Furthermore, THQI is consistently working out deals with big names like Dreamworks.

Turnaround. The company has cut costs by closing studios and has strong growing brands in UFC and WWE games. Once the company estabilishes its profitability again - which should be quicker than most analysts think - this company's shares should double.
