Posted 1 or 2 months ago on this sub that Activision Blizzard will be seeing very strong Q2 and potentially Q3 earnings reports because of their release of their Flagship game Diablo 4.
Regardless of whether the microsoft deal of blizzard actually goes through (which might take many months to years), in the short term (1-6 months), Activision Blizzard is set up as a strong stock option because of the inevitable success of Diablo 4.
With Strong long term monetization models in battle passes and cosmetics as well as paid DLCs. AND a strong short term monetixation model in its pricing of the game as a AAA, the game itself will definitely rake in massive amounts of money for the company.
Combine this with the fact that Diablo is historically one of Blizzard's founding games, and arguably its strongest IP to date that hasn't deteriorated as much over time (amongst Warcraft, Starcraft, Overwatch… etc), the game was set up for success from the start.
TLDR: Diablo 4 would immensely prop up Activision Blizzards Q2 and Q3 earnings, Microsoft is still actively fighting to acquire blizzard, company prospects in the short term are good, because company is pushing out lots of value onto its customers.
