GME is getting a lot more attention over the last couple of days than it has been due to the first major price action and high volume days in months.

Ryan Cohen has said and shown that long term company profitability is his major goal - and not just incidental quarterly profit, like we last saw from Q3 2022.

Under Cohen’s leadership, GameStop has closed underperforming stores and opened new distribution warehouses along with revamped the company infrastructure for organizing orders and which employee benefits are provided. We have seen the gradual impact since he took over in a difficult time for a brick and mortar store - and teetered on profitability last quarter.

2023-07-31 $-0.01
2023-04-30 $-0.17
2023-01-31 $0.16
2022-10-31 $-0.31
2022-07-31 $-0.36
2022-04-30 $-0.52
2022-01-31 $-0.50
2021-10-31 $-0.35
2021-07-31 $-0.21
2021-04-30 $-0.25
2021-01-31 $0.31

I expect us to beat last years $-0.31 in tremendous fashion, but I don’t know that we’ll see positive EPS just yet. How about $-0.09 … reasonable and grounded? Still a great improvement moving forward, and less than the previous two quarter year-over-year jumps.

Meanwhile, leading into an anticipated earnings, we are seeing massive and sudden price action and volatility out of seemingly nowhere. Although I personally prefer the ongoing stability / downtrend to keep accumulating shares in a company that has a strong cash position, close to no debt, and which is positioned in an industry strong in poor economic times. Though the market sometimes disagrees, most families feel these conditions are difficult and are tightening their belts.

Either way, I enjoy adding a few shares every week. This week is no different.

How is everyone feeling?

    nice post!

    feeling about as good as i possibly can. i don’t really know how to put it into my words but to me it feels like something is brewing.

    -$0.09 is reasonable and grounded and definitely achievable.

    on yahoo finance it shows analyst consensus (number of analysts: 3) earnings estimates at -$0.08 per share, which, if nothing else, shows that a large loss like last years Q3 loss of -$0.31 is not expected.

    the way i see it:

    • not ideal outcome: earnings equal to or worse than -$0.08 per share.
    • good outcome: earnings better than -$0.08 per share.
    • very good outcome: earnings above $0.00 per share
    • crazy good outcome: earnings above $0.00 per share and a positive supplementary announcement of some kind
