Premium contentFor the last quarter, GameStop reported $732 million in revenue, which marks a significant decrease of 42.90% compared to the previous quarter. This huge dip is concerning as it highlights a slowdown in the company's performance over the short term. Compared to the same quarter last year, the revenue decreased by 16.94%, further pointing to ongoing struggles that need to be addressed (despite being less alarming than the quarter-to-quarter change). Social media mentions are up 15.5% in the past 24h.
A crazy stock. The franchise is not bad, but this is hugely played by speculators and shorts. Hugely volatile. They raised money which improves the balance sheet. Can't predict this.
