After announcing a management-led buyout of its biggest shareholder, game publisher Activision Blizzard disclosed its preliminary earnings for the second quarter today. With the buyout of Vivendi, Activision Blizzard can now finally behave like the behemoth that it is: the largest independent publisher in the video game industry.
Activision Blizzard, producers of the best-selling Call of Duty series, said it expects to report an estimated 8 cents a share on $608 million in non-GAAP revenue for the quarter. The earnings are slightly better than the 5 cents a share on $591 million in revenue that analysts expected.
