GameStop: Two Bets Outside Management's Control
Summary GameStop Corp. is rated hold after Q2 2026 results beat consensus on revenue and EPS, driven by investment gains rather than retail performance. GameStop's collectibles segment grew 57% YOY, now comprising 45% of sales, while core video game sales collapsed 46.8%, highlighting a deteriorating traditional business. Substantial capital is allocated to a $4.95B eBay stake and a losing $500 million Bitcoin position, both outside management's operational control and carrying significant risk. Pro forma for recent debt reduction, GameStop's implied operating business value is $1.4 billion; valuation is reasonable, but shrinking core and risky capital allocation justify a hold.

GameStop: Bitcoin Won't Save It, But Pokemon Might
Summary GameStop's Q4 2024 results showed a revenue drop but improved profitability, driven by higher margins and significant interest income from cash reserves. Despite the positive earnings, I maintain a "sell" rating due to the company's ongoing revenue decline and expensive valuation compared to historical levels. The move into Bitcoin and collectibles offers potential, but past missteps and a proposed convertible notes offering raise concerns about future dilution and stability. Shedding unprofitable assets in Canada and Europe could help, but I'm not ready to upgrade GME stock until more consistent improvements are evident.

GameStop: I Expect Q4 Earnings To Disappoint Due To Industry Declines
Summary GameStop's stock price is disconnected from fundamentals, and despite some financial improvements, the overall sentiment remains negative with no meaningful catalysts for growth. Q4 earnings are expected to be weak due to declining hardware and software sales, with the possibility of reporting below the estimated EPS of $0.07. Speculation around GameStop including Bitcoin in its business model could drive shares higher, but the timing may be unfavorable, given the current crypto cycle. The changing gaming landscape and competition from digital platforms, like Microsoft's Gamepass, make GameStop's business model less compelling, reinforcing a strong sell rating.

GameStop Could Pivot To Become The First Bitcoin Consumer Bank
Summary While generally against companies holding Bitcoin, I think there are exceptions, such as (Micro)Strategy and potentially GameStop, due to their unique circumstances. GME holds significant cash ($4.6 billion) with minimal long-term debt, but lacks a profitable core business model since the Meme Stock era. I think GME could benefit from investing in Bitcoin, potentially pivoting to become the first "Bitcoin Consumer Bank" by leveraging its retail presence to offer Bitcoin-related services. This said, the high valuation of GME with a market cap of $11 billion might not justify a Bitcoin investment if Bitcoin's value doesn't increase or if consumer/investor interest doesn't follow. While I do not recommend new investments in GME due to high option costs and current valuation, holding a position might be justified if anticipating a Bitcoin strategy announcement as a catalyst.

GameStop: How I'm Taking Advantage Of Expensive Call Options
Summary GameStop isn't fundamentally strong, but its high volatility and expensive call options offer income opportunities through selling covered calls. Despite relatively weak fundamentals, GameStop's gross profit margin is improving, and its large cash position provides a safety net. The stock is in a short-term uptrend, making it suitable for selling covered calls, though risks include potential price drops and a fall in implied volatility. A potential Bitcoin-buying investment strategy by GameStop could significantly boost the stock, although this is just personal speculation, as the company has not announced any plans regarding this.

Wells Fargo updates its favored list of blue-chip stocks, highlighting companies like Disney, Starbucks, and Microsoft for long-term investment.

GameStop: Is This Time Different?
Summary GME's recent 55% rally is characterized by a slow, sustained uptrend, unlike the rapid spikes of 2021 and early 2024. The backdrop to the rally is also different. It hasn't been fuelled by memes or a Roaring Kitty post. Management is making some decent moves. Despite shrinking revenues, GameStop's improved margins and potential return to profitability this fiscal year are positive signs, but the $13B valuation remains questionable. I rate GME a "hold" due to the potentially sustainable uptrend and potential for new investments, but I'll sell if it spikes into the $40s.

GameStop: Trying To Grasp The Value, But Price Still Doubly Inflated
Summary GameStop's May stock surge was yet again driven by frenzy, but the company's topline remains weak, with accelerating revenue declines. Management capitalized on inflated stock prices, boosting cash reserves, which now constitute a major part of its valuation, yet the issuance diluted shareholders. The collectibles segment and profitability improvements show potential. Despite optimistic valuation adjustments, GameStop's per share value still lies significantly below market price, making it a speculative play rather than a sound investment.

GameStop May Have Figured Out Their Next Venture And It Could Work
Summary GameStop's shift to trading cards and partnerships with PSA could offset declining video game sales, positioning it as a national card shop chain. GME's strong balance sheet, with over $4 billion in cash and minimal debt, provides a significant runway for reinvention and new business ventures. The trading card market's growth and synergies with video games offer GME opportunities to host leagues and tournaments and create content, enhancing customer engagement. Upgrading my view on GME to neutral due to improved financials and strategic moves in the trading card market, offering potential for future profitability.

Did Anyone Notice GameStop Reinvented Itself On The Latest Kitty Call? (Rating Upgrade)
Summary Roaring Kitty's reappearance with a large GameStop position in May, helped the share quote to rise from $12 to $60+ in quick order. GameStop's management issued $3.05 billion in new shares during May-June, reshaping the balance sheet with $4.2 billion in cash vs. just $1.15 billion in liabilities. Positive net income and potentially stronger returns on the reinvestment of its large cash holdings could force Wall Street to rerate shares much higher. The reinvented company 12 months from now could be worth materially more than existed in the spring, through timely financial engineering decisions.

Sell GameStop Stock Heading Into Q2 Earnings
Summary GameStop's stock has surged recently, but with high short interest and an earnings report imminent, consider taking profits before potential volatility. The company faces declining revenue, no earnings, and lacks a viable turnaround plan, making its current $10 billion valuation unsustainable. Despite some improvements in margins and a strong balance sheet, the core business model remains flawed, with retro store concepts unlikely to drive significant growth. Given the high price-to-sales ratio and operational challenges, I remain bearish on GameStop. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaSeeking Alpha • Aug 21
GameStop: Zombie, Extinction Or Turnaround?
Summary GameStop faces challenges in the age of e-commerce with declining sales, margins, and store closures. The US$2.3bn cash infusion provides management with time to attempt a turnaround or cash to burn before the inevitable. Under three scenarios - turnaround, zombie, and extinction - none provide upside potential in 2025. I would avoid GME: Given the meme stock status, which ignores business fundamentals, I would not short, buy, or hold the stock. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaShareholder Returns
