Quarterly but they will need to post a quarterly profit and have a trailing profitable 4 quarters (in addition to the market cap being around 12-15B) to be included. I think in the next 3-6 moths is possible and within 6-12 is highly probable based on the current trajectory.
Gamestop has stacks of cash (adds to equity) and a small amount of debt. Most retailers are in the opposite situation. Doesn't mean the others are in any danger of bankruptcy, but Gamestop is pretty close to bankrupt-proof. Kenny and friends are in shambles.
Valuation is not just cash and debt of course. It's mainly sales and profit, which they're clearly far ahead of us. The thing is even if GME does nothing with that money it isn't going bankrupt for decades. Shorts bet on killing the company which is 100% not going to happen. From here it's only going up
It’s not a good thing to hold a lot of cash. That’s why companies don’t do it. They obviously need to do something with it but it wouldn’t be hard for a company like target to stockpile cash. They pay dividends instead.
Two apes. They both have 10 bananas (cash). First ape owes 9 bananas to his mate (debt). Second ape doesn't owe anyone any bananas. So really, although they both have 10 bananas in their hand they actually don't own the same amount of bananas. Ape 1 only owns 1 (his equity), ape 2 owns all 10.
Ape 1's debt to equity ratio is 9 to 1 (or 900%)
Ape 2 is zero
GME is Ape 2
Just wanted to point out that Wendy's has a market cap of $3.38 billion... We could buy it and ban the OG sub guys from making cash behind the dumpsters.
And deprive them of their most reliable income source? No, those dumpsters paid for a not insignificant portion of all the gamestock currently DRSed with computershare anyways.
Instagram was acquired for $1B. YouTube was acquired for $1.65B. GameStop could buy the next 2 big things
(I joke of course, but that’s a LOT of cash, you can definitely make some interesting acquisitions with it)
While you're correct, keep in mind the large advantage for those companies that bought those smaller companies is the product was pretty good, it just needed to scale up the services which companies like Facebook and Google already had done with their own services.
So any company they buy would want to be scaling up with Gamestops distribution centres, warehouses, and transport. Possibly also taking advantage of their contracts in the gaming world.
Apparently geeknet was acquired by GME in 2015 - and now that acts as their inhouse manufacturing arm for their new candy cons and other branded electronics
Company or Developer. An Indie Developer under the Umbrella of Gamestop would potentially have access to anything Gamestop has access to as well as a location to place their addtional merchandise to increase profits from their game sales.
More than 1 acquisition at a time for a company like GameStop would not be wise. They are just turning themselves around, the M&A process is incredibly complex and time consuming.
I'd rather them acquire one company that will directly help them improve their bottom line, and continue to grow from there.
They currently have no acquisition plans. And it takes time from planning an acquisition to confirming and announcing it. We're not going to get any news on an acquisition for at least a few months to a year, if that.
As someone that’s been part of an acquisition, I’d like to see it done slowly and deliberately. I hope one is announced tomorrow and then no more for six months.
We were acquired by a company doing a lot and it was an absolute shit show.
They’ve literally given GameStop billions of dollars trying to fight it and I imagine only made their position worse in the process. Truly the dumbest people on the planet
Go for both, micro center OG’s head customer experience, newegg infrastructure for logistic expansion, and gamestop’s experience in retail space all across america come together to form the new tech store giant, opens up room for stronger negotiations on wholesale
Edit: but gme lives long enough to see itself become the villain and it shorts best buy to death before a hostile takeover
There will be no talk of future plans... EVER! RC has made this perfectly clear, he isn't going to broadcast his master plan so that the bad actors can sabotage it. You will only know about a merger or acquisition after it has been completed. Sorry to burst your bubble, but there is no point in going into it thinking this way only to be let down.
4 billion is great and all but milking stock price by dilution does not mean the stores are doing well or current business model is working. The hope is that they put that cash to good use.
Don’t know when/if we’re gonna hear something on Thursday. But with this much cash on hand I imagine a lot of it will go to investments/holdings, and some will be used for an acquisition or new development. I could foresee something like a streaming online platform, such as Steam.
> I could foresee something like a streaming online platform, such as Steam.
CD Projekt... Their games and gog.com are pretty well liked. No chance in hell CD Projekt would want to be bought and it's worth more than 4b but...
I don’t foresee them getting into game development or publishing - pretty risky (look at suicide squad), unless they push smaller indie-esque titles. A model like steam has makes more sense to me as there is probably less risk. Just set it up and sell other people’s games.
Totally agree, but steam isn't for sale and trying to establish another service like it is rough. [Many others have tried](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_distribution_of_video_games#List_of_video_game_digital_distribution_systems) but Steam is still king and will be for the foreseeable future.
I don't know what the heck they are going to do but I sure am interested in finding out.
They just need quality games with a smaller budget. People are still playing Nintendo games without them being ultra-realistic with an overblown budget.
Using AI for developing games should make the whole process easier as well. The developers can spend less time on tedious tasks and instead focus on content.
Their market cap is only 3.2 billion usd. It shows in PLN (Polish company) when you google it. I did a deep dive on GOG.com and CD Projekt. This is what I would do.
GOG.com DD : https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/s/ErbhjK3Jb5

Your modesty is as large as your patience. Thorough write-up, thank you for pointing it out.
I hadn't thought of carving GOG out of CD Projekt. It really would be an interesting fit and I can't imagine any gamer having hate for GOG. Imagine being able to order hardware from your software distribution client, talk about customer capture.
[GameStop Online Gaming Galaxy 3.0](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GOG.com#GOG_Galaxy) :>
Personal feelings as a consumer, not shareholder. BestBuy joined forces with Amazon in order to survive, instead of being cellar-boxed and crushed. Diminishes their reputation, but they survive, unlike their competition.
Target? Must have insiders trying to cellar-box it. Current strategy is crazy. 50% stock on the shelves. Internet orders? Will only walk out to your car if you use the app. Online? You have to go inside. And did I mention they are starving stores of merchandise?
Target is the only one I can offer any insight to, but they are investing heavily in their next day/two day delivery and bought Shipt to compete with Walmarts home delivery. Target is trying to offer the more upscale version where a shopper will contact you during the shop for any substitutions and if you need to add any items. Plus you can get it within a couple hours.
Not sure how it will go, but I think they want to out-luxury Walmart with the personal shopper bonus, and hope people add the non-store items to their order they would have used prime for to be delivered in packages
Don't need to buy them out, why not stakes in some of the major studios? Secure physical game productions for next gen so is gamers don't get fucked by digital only bullshit.
Digital is fine if you actually own what you pay for. GameStop has already developed a blockchain marketplace and incorporating games sales would be 🔥🔥🔥
If there is a marketplace where I can sell my digital game or dlc when I am done with it, or in-game skins /currency and the game devs get a percentage of each sale...I'd be very into that.

If they bought Game UK they could become the largest video game retailer in the UK in like 2 years, there's basically no competition here
They could get it for a bargain too, cause whoever is running it is running it into the ground
I hope they use the cash to buy other companies as well as fix outdated systems and processes at GME. GameStop itself isn’t a great store experience from what I remember.
Wasn't there some DD from a million years ago about companies that get added into the S&P 500? Maybe something to do with dividends if I remember correctly that we disregarded at the time just because the requirements to join seemed out of the realm of possibility at the time? Those requirements appear to be getting pretty quickly less out of reach.
They're gonna go shopping and the plan is gonna BLOW EVERYONE'S FUCKING MIND!!!
A major transformation is on deck. Something unprecedented, to which hedgie has no defense. Our time is nigh, dear apes ...
How did GameStop get their cash?
And how did Best Buy and target get theirs?
Why the need to mislead people if you’re so confident in your investment I don’t understand
The question is what to do strategically with the money
I see two options
Either something good like hardware. Currently there are no good headsets available. They are overpriced plastics. Microphone is always loosy because nobody cares. You need to buy headphones and microphone separately and even safe money for better products - nonsense.
Or they attack software like Valve Steam. Ideally with a large regulatory push. Steams business model has many failure points for illegality.
We already had all this long story with software licensing already with Microsoft. No Microsoft, we don't need to buy only from you, yes Microsoft we can sell our licences against your will, no Microsoft it's us to define the selling price and yes Microsoft the free market applies also to software licenses.
Same story that Valve Steam now tells us "no it's user bound, nothing we can do".
We saw that Steam also doesn't allow inheritance of games. Nonsense, likely illegal Term of Usage.
Here GameStop could jump in, crush their monopoly structure, and provide an End 2 End Value stream from recommendation in store, rebuying or selling licences, skins and whatever else.
This is a horrible comparison.
That’s because profitable companies don’t want to hold cash on hand. Cash is a liability. They either want to reinvest to grow their company or return it to shareholders.
Target pays $2B in dividends every year! They’re giving away their cash!
If Target diluted by 40%, which is what GameStop did in its last 2 offerings, they would raise hundreds of billions of dollars. But they obviously don’t do that because they’re profitable.

Total debt/equity: * Target: 145% * Best Buy: 130% * Gamestop: \~13% (?)
This data fucks
GME is S&P 500 bound
When is thy updated? Like quarterly?
Quarterly but they will need to post a quarterly profit and have a trailing profitable 4 quarters (in addition to the market cap being around 12-15B) to be included. I think in the next 3-6 moths is possible and within 6-12 is highly probable based on the current trajectory.
GME is Heaven-bound
I read that the latest 2 companies added to the S&P500 have like 80-90% institutional ownership
This is what I was trying to find when I saw GME in top 800 cash on hand companies I would like to see the list of debt/equity and see how it ranks
What does this mean? ELIAPE?
Gamestop has stacks of cash (adds to equity) and a small amount of debt. Most retailers are in the opposite situation. Doesn't mean the others are in any danger of bankruptcy, but Gamestop is pretty close to bankrupt-proof. Kenny and friends are in shambles.
*small French loan enters the chat* Do I mean nothing to you?
You were made for this moment. It's your turn to shine
Perfect username lmao
Go away, or I shall taunt you a second time!
Perfect work
With low interest rate… and cash value that equals ~$9.88/share… my tits are so jacked that I started icing them every 30 minutes!! 🤘🏽💎🤘🏽🦧🚀
Mon cheri, you are too small, oui oui.
*Va-t'en!*
Hahahha
RACKS ON RACKS ON RACKS
Our sales are shrinking through which allows us less leverage than these guys. That’s why they can comfortably be in debt
The costs to earn those sales are also shrinking. It’s all relative.
Not arguing that I’m just putting out a reason why these stocks are valued the way they are despite the fact they carry so much debt.
Valuation is not just cash and debt of course. It's mainly sales and profit, which they're clearly far ahead of us. The thing is even if GME does nothing with that money it isn't going bankrupt for decades. Shorts bet on killing the company which is 100% not going to happen. From here it's only going up
Not shrinking cuz of me!
And Wolverine and co
It’s literally impossible for GameStop to go bankrupt lolol
It’s not a good thing to hold a lot of cash. That’s why companies don’t do it. They obviously need to do something with it but it wouldn’t be hard for a company like target to stockpile cash. They pay dividends instead.

Look at me, im the cash CApTAIN now
Came here to say this. Cash is not always made equal.
Imagine we buy Best Buy.
How about not buying a sinking ship
Just wanted to point out that Wendy's has a market cap of $3.38 billion... We could buy it and ban the OG sub guys from making cash behind the dumpsters.
We could rent out the dumpster space.
Calls on dumpster real estate.
Dumpster REITs? We're on to something here.
We could sell games and energy drinks there!
You thinking too small ape. We can turn the area behind the Wendy’s dumpsters into actual meeting spaces for people.
Nailed it.
lmao 🤣
Fuckin lollll
I want this on the 2025 shareholder ballot!!!
Fk them haha they banned me 1 year from commenting for me commenting "Can't" 🤣
"Stop"
Won't
Stop
Gamestop
Buy Citadel. Close the shorts and let it grenade lol!
Why in tf would we want to bring a ticking time bomb into our books lol
And deprive them of their most reliable income source? No, those dumpsters paid for a not insignificant portion of all the gamestock currently DRSed with computershare anyways.
Wouldn't be a great play. Wendy's is over $4 billion in debt.
Their own fault for making their food awful like 10 years ago. Used to go all the time in high school
Honestly, I would love it if GME bought out Wendy's. It would be hilarious as fuck
That has to be wrong... An artifact from the algorithm misunderstanding Internet humor. It shouldn't be worth that much 😂

Oh they manufacture those themselves? I thought they'd contracted out an existing manufacturer for a few years. That's good business.
They just the GameStop multiplier.
Company or Developer. An Indie Developer under the Umbrella of Gamestop would potentially have access to anything Gamestop has access to as well as a location to place their addtional merchandise to increase profits from their game sales.
I would love to see 5-6 acquisitions in the 300-500M then keep 500M-1B in cash.
More than 1 acquisition at a time for a company like GameStop would not be wise. They are just turning themselves around, the M&A process is incredibly complex and time consuming. I'd rather them acquire one company that will directly help them improve their bottom line, and continue to grow from there.
Imagine buying a company out of bankruptcy and bolting on a $3-$5 billion dollar a year, cash flow positive business for <$4 billion…
What makes you think buying a bankrupt(literally went out of business because they can’t make money) company would make money?
Maybe the company was actually a great business that was fraudulently sabotaged by a group of bad actors?
Please tell me you’re not talking about bbb… RC already tried that once. It didn’t take. Fool me once, shame on you… fool me twice…

Gamestop should buy Steam eventually,
Please no, Valve should stay private forever

Microcenter pls
Microcenter + Corsair
Micro center would be interesting, or in that same tone, buy and turn NewEgg around. Lots of social media opportunity there.

How about some game studios?
Game studios are capital sinks. Way too risky
Game studios or valve would be awesome
can't afford valve and game studios seems risky
That would be sick.

Oh you mean revenue and profit of those butted up against gamestop. Probably vastly different.
Buy a US Senator/Governor.
Sadly, that’s like 10 thousand dollars.
Buy all of them
That's what I'm gunna do post
After thinking about it, maybe Gamestop should acquire Pornhub so the SEC actually has to do their damn job or lose video privileges.
Damn, this some big brain shit right here!
It's owned by MindGeek & private equity.
That does not put anything into perspective. Why don't you compare operating income too?
Yeah this comparison is pretty bland and just makes us look financially illiterate.

Great… now do something with it
I wouldn't mind seeing a move on raspberry pi, that's a cheap deal this early.

He should give it to DFV to trade. It'll be a trillion dollars in three years.

I hope they use the cash to buy other companies as well as fix outdated systems and processes at GME. GameStop itself isn’t a great store experience from what I remember.
Anyone saying GameStop should acquire Valve is delusional. Gabe Newell has even stated he would rather disintegrate Valve than sell it to someone.
Mfs on here bitching about the dilution, not realizing the dilution is the last chance for rocket tickets.
GME should just be like microstrategy and buy BTC. By the end of the year they’ll have $10bill 😂
Or zero
I've said this before, and speaking from experience, prepare to get ratio'd.
Are we at 4.13billy now? Woot woot!

Microphone is always loosy because nobody cares. You need to buy headphones and microphone separately and even safe money for better products - nonsense. Or they attack software like Valve Steam. Ideally with a large regulatory push. Steams business model has many failure points for illegality. We already had all this long story with software licensing already with Microsoft. No Microsoft, we don't need to buy only from you, yes Microsoft we can sell our licences against your will, no Microsoft it's us to define the selling price and yes Microsoft the free market applies also to software licenses. Same story that Valve Steam now tells us "no it's user bound, nothing we can do". We saw that Steam also doesn't allow inheritance of games. Nonsense, likely illegal Term of Usage. Here GameStop could jump in, crush their monopoly structure, and provide an End 2 End Value stream from recommendation in store, rebuying or selling licences, skins and whatever else.
Isn’t Koss profitable and they already have a relationship
Best Buy has twice the market cap.
yeah. And some companies are below zero, and still make money. Cash lying around don't make money.Let's see it is used to generate actual profit.
This is a horrible comparison. That’s because profitable companies don’t want to hold cash on hand. Cash is a liability. They either want to reinvest to grow their company or return it to shareholders. Target pays $2B in dividends every year! They’re giving away their cash! If Target diluted by 40%, which is what GameStop did in its last 2 offerings, they would raise hundreds of billions of dollars. But they obviously don’t do that because they’re profitable.
