Activision Blizzard Earnings: The Trends to Watch

Activision Blizzard (NASDAQ: ATVI) will release its third-quarter earnings results in just a few days, and investors have high expectations for that report. The fiscal second quarter will be a tough act to follow, considering that Activision gained 100 million gamers, year over year, during that blockbuster period for at-home entertainment. While growth came from each of its three main divisions, Activision, King Digital, and Blizzard, the biggest winner by far was the Call of Duty franchise.
