    What do you mean unproven social media claims? the $4 billion in cash is in their quarterly earnings: https://gamestop.gcs-web.com/static-files/2c1eac18-9f79-41b9-9e56-a8db8fe7aac4

    Pretty easy to verify yourself.

      That would be a valid assessment if the stock price had jumped after the quarterly earnings.

      Their stock price jumped before the quarterly earnings was announced. It has nothing to do with it, nor any of their fundamentals

      Also notice:
      Cash flow is neutral or negative and has been for a while now. Revenue peaked in 2018 is now less than 62% of that peak. Revenue per quarter is also down 11% year over year.

      Company lost 34 million dollars last quarter, and has not had a positive operating income since feb 2018. https://www.msn.com/en-ca/money/watchlist?tab=Related&id=a1tyxm&duration=1Y&src=b_fingraph&relatedQuoteId=a1tyxm&relatedSource=MlAl&l3=L3_Financials

        Even if they continue loosing $34-million each quarter, it will take over 33 years to go bankrupt with the current $4.6-billion cash on hand.

        Seriously though, I see that earnings per share was positive for 2024. How is that possible if revenue has been negative since 2018?

          Because the share price jumped up so much last year to give them that cash on hand.

          Also the $34 million loss is their best result since feb 2018, most of their losses have been 10x higher. Although it does look like a long term trend into the positive cash flow. Also the CEO is mentioning a stock dividend now, so that takes care of the cash on hand.
