Analysts are expecting a significant loss. The company’s recent past performance has been underwhelming, with declining sales and a shrinking profit margin. GameStop is expected to report a loss per share of $0.50 for the quarter, which would be a significant drop from last year’s $0.17 per share. This is likely to be a difficult period for the company as it struggles to adapt to the changing landscape of the video game industry.
This suggests that retail investors were less active in the recent rally compared to the 2021 surge. The recent rally, which began in late April, saw a significant increase in the price of the stock, reaching a peak of $100. This rally was fueled by a combination of factors, including positive earnings reports, investor optimism, and a general market uptrend. The 2021 surge, which began in late January, saw a much larger increase in the stock price, reaching a peak of $150.
