Daily brief

GameStop's preliminary results show profit jump from its eBay stake

+2.85% to $18.38 from $17.87

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.

Daily brief

GameStop falls on dilution concerns tied to $1.4 billion debt swap

+0.79% to $19.21 from $19.06

What moved GME

  • Shares fell more than 12% in premarket trading, extending losses that took the stock below $20 and into the red for 2026.
  • The decline follows GameStop’s plan to exchange $1.4 billion in debt for common stock, raising no cash and stoking dilution concerns.
  • The exchange is expected to close around September 23, 2026, with the number of shares issued tied partly to GameStop’s volume-weighted average price over a 35-trading-day reference period starting August 3.
