Earnings Summary
GameStop Corporation operates as a specialty retailer focused on video games and related merchandise, primarily in North America and Europe, offering new and pre‑owned hardware, software, digital content, and collectibles within the broader entertainment sector. The company’s recent earnings show a mixed performance: Q4 2024 EPS of $0.30 beat the $0.08 estimate, while revenue of $1.28 billion was reported without an estimate; Q1 2025 EPS of $0.17 surpassed the $0.04 estimate, with revenue of $732 million; Q2 2025 EPS of $0.25 exceeded the $0.155 estimate, revenue $972 million; Q3 2025 EPS of $0.24 fell short of the $0.20 estimate, revenue $821 million. The company has consistently beat earnings estimates in three of the last four quarters, though revenue growth slowed from $1.28 billion in Q4 2024 to $821 million in Q3 2025, reflecting a deceleration in top‑line momentum. Historically, GameStop has shown a YoY revenue decline in recent years, yet it has maintained earnings beats, indicating cost discipline or margin improvement; the pattern of beating EPS while revenue dips suggests a focus on profitability over volume. Recent news highlights CEO Ryan Cohen’s substantial insider purchases, with over 700,000 shares bought in early October, reinforcing management confidence and contributing to a 2–4 % after‑hours rally; the insider activity coincided with an upgraded full‑year outlook and reported adjusted EBITDA of $174 million, signaling strategic optimism.

Reverse DCF

What growth is priced into GME?

RICH

At today's price, GameStop Corp. needs to grow free cash flow about 1.5% a year for the next 10 years to justify its valuation at a 8.88% cost of capital. Over its actual history it has compounded free cash flow at -6.5% a year, so the market is asking for 8.0 percentage points above its own delivered rate. On that basis GME looks priced above what its own growth record supports.

What GME's own history says about today's numbers

vs 200-day average
+13.3%
Up days (1y)
51%

GameStop Corp. is currently running 42.8% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against GME's own 11 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 47th percentile — close to its own typical level, against a typical reading of 44.4%. The distinction matters because a number that looks calm for one stock is turbulent for another, and the absolute figure on its own tells you neither.

GME is trading -28.1% below its running peak. Across 10 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -41.0%, and the deepest was -80.0% in 2019. The current pullback is therefore shallower than what this stock gives back in a typical year, which is context worth having before treating it as a dislocation.

Price sits +13.3% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 81st percentile — a wider gap than this stock usually carries. Over the past year GME closed higher on 51% of sessions, and it is currently 2 sessions into a rising streak.

On October specifically: over 11 years of records, GME finished the month higher 5 of 11 times, with a median return of -2.9% and an average of -2.0%. Its strongest month historically has been January at +28.1% on average, its weakest June at -4.7%. Seasonality is a weak signal on its own — a decade is a small sample and regimes change — but it is a real distribution rather than a rule of thumb.

Overnight risk is measurable too: GME has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 203 of 2,789 sessions (7.3% of the time), with the largest gaps running +53.6% and -10.8%. For anyone holding through an event, that rate is a better guide to overnight exposure than the intraday range.

All figures computed from 2,794 daily closes between 2013-10-07 and 2026-10-05, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against GME's own 13-year history, not a peer group or index.
