GME · NYSE · Consumer

Fundamental quality

ATTRACTIVE

89

out of 100

Gamestop Corp. runs like a cash machine: it converts about 19.4% of revenue into free cash flow and holds a 25.2% net margin, though it grows at a measured pace. On fundamental quality it scores 89 out of 100, profiling it as a company with solid fundamentals. Its weakest area is its profitability (net margin 25.2%). Whether it's cheap or expensive depends on the current price, which you can compute in the tool.

What the company does

GameStop is the largest video-game retail chain, a business in structural decline as gaming goes digital. It's famous as the original meme stock: its share price moves more on retail-investor communities than on results, and it holds a large cash pile after selling shares into the spikes.

What will shape its future

  • What it does with its huge cash pile: today it's more a capital vehicle than a bet on its stores.
  • The decline of physical gaming, which erodes its original business year after year.
  • Meme volatility: the price can fully disconnect from fundamentals, in both directions.
