2021: a Reddit short squeeze kept GameStop from going under.
2026: GameStop is bidding $55B for eBay, a company 4x its size.
If it lands, this might be the strangest full circle moment public markets have ever produced.
If Gamestop is the king, then reddit was the king-maker.
May 2020: $570.3 million
Jan 2026: $9.013 billion
Can people here really not keep their emotions in check enough to admit clearly obvious facts?
It seems consistent that the same thing would happen here.
It's not an answer to the question of a turnaround, and therefore low quality information? How much you have in assets does not correlate with the ongoing success of the business. Examining the day to day business of Gamestop and excluding the memestock shenanigans leaves a very bad business.
The core business has declining revenue - net sales 2016 $8.6b, 2025 $3.5b and still in decline. Cash flow from operations also continues to shrink.
Store footprint has shrunk.
The underlying business stinks, even if they made a ton of money selling stock, they haven't done anything significant to halt the spiral.
To the poster below asking if I'm drunk. Please provide some sort of revenue citation to 18x? https://stockanalysis.com/stocks/gme/revenue/
Likewise, the company's revenue has declined ~60% in the last ten years, and declined 5% from 2024 to 2025. The business became marginally profitable when they shrank the business by reducing operating expenses and produced a small profit.
There are no significant avenues for growth in their current business model, revenue will continue to decline, as it has for the last ten years because the core model of re-selling used games continues to shrink. As revenue decline continues, they'll run out of people to lay off and stores to close, there will be no profit because the revenue is too small, and the company will BK.
There is no turn around, the company continues a death spiral.
For instance, do you know where that $9 billion in cash came from? It was not revenue I’ll tell you that much. Their revenue has been rapidly dropping, they’re shuttering stores, etc. They didn’t get that cash from successfully turning around operations.

You can see from the right hand column that many of those companies have delivered returns over the last twelve months, unlike GameStop. Also it appears many companies that don't have $9 billion are generating returns as well.
Investors gave them this money; they sold additional stock to raise $3.47B in 2024, and another $4.2B of convertible debt in 2025.
The fact that investors are giving GameStop money is a good thing for GameStop; It is a signal of confidence. It is not a detriment like you try to position it.
Basically they got a huge cash infusion from memestock hodlers trying to get to the moon. Greater than half of their profits are now from the interest on that money, which is wild.
However, the retail business itself is still failing because no one buys video games at the mall anymore.
