In general, an absolute valuation paradigm, as applied to this company, attempts to find the value of Activision Blizzard based exclusively on its fundamental and basic technical indicators. By analyzing Activision Blizzard's financials, quarterly and monthly indicators, and related drivers such as dividends, operating cash flow, and various types of growth rates, we attempt to find the most accurate representation of Activision Blizzard's intrinsic value.
