What moved GME
- GameStop expects preliminary second-quarter net income of $290 million to $310 million, up from $168.6 million a year earlier, even as net sales fell to a range of $780 million to $800 million from $972.2 million.
- The company said net income reflects about $238 million in net gains from its eBay derivative asset and equity investment, partially offset by roughly $75 million in losses on digital assets and related receivables.
- As of August 1, GameStop held about 43.4 million shares of eBay common stock, with a fair value of roughly $4.947 billion.
- GameStop attributed the sales decline to the prior-year launch of Nintendo Switch 2, planned store closures and the divestiture of its France operations.
- The company said it expects to release complete second-quarter results on September 8.
