GameStop

Video gaming retailer GameStop Corp. (NYSE: GME) has watched its share price fall by nearly half over the past 12 months. It has been worse. In mid-March, the stock traded down by 63%. GameStop is expected to share its results after Wednesday’s close.

The stock’s most recent dive occurred last month when Chairman Ryan Cohen dumped his entire stake in Bed Bath & Beyond after driving up the stock’s price in a maneuver that a recent lawsuit alleges was a pump and dump scheme orchestrated by Cohen and the company’s late chief financial officer, Gustavo Arnal, who fell 18 stories from a New York apartment building.

Just two analysts have had anything to say on the stock. One has a Sell rating and the other has a Hold rating. At a share price of around $27.40, the stock trades well above its median price target of $17.50. At the high target of $27.50, the upside potential is 4%.

Second-quarter revenue is forecast at $1.27 billion, down 8.2% sequentially but 7.6% higher year over year. Analysts expect GameStop to report an adjusted loss per share of $0.44, compared to the prior quarter’s loss of $0.52 and the year-ago loss of $0.19. For the full 2023 fiscal year ending in January, analysts are forecasting an adjusted loss per share of $1.58, compared to the prior-year loss of $1.14 per share, and sales of $6.46 billion, up 7.5%.

GameStop is not expected to post a profit in either fiscal 2023 or 2024. Based on estimates of GameStop’s enterprise value ranging between $6.5 billion and $6.7 billion for the two fiscal years, the enterprise value to sales multiple is around 1.2. The stock’s 52-week range is $16.39 to $63.92, and GameStop does not pay a dividend. Total shareholder return for the past year is about negative 49%.
