The company\u2019s U.S. business alone generated <strong>\u00a33.06 billion ($3.9 billion) in revenue in 2023<\/strong>, a <strong>38% year-over-year growth<\/strong>, solidifying its position as the dominant player in the American market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/america\/trump-effect-shakes-gaming-stocks-can-the-industry-recover-before-election-season\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><u><strong>Trump effect shakes gaming stocks: Can the industry recover before election season?<\/strong><\/u><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why does this matter?
