What To Expect From GameStop’s Earnings Today

GameStop
GME
Corp. is scheduled to report earnings after Wednesday’s close. The stock hit a split adjusted record high at $120.75/share in 2021 after its historic short squeeze and is currently trading near $19/share. The stock is prone to big moves after reporting earnings and can easily gap up if the numbers are strong. Conversely, if the numbers disappoint, the stock can easily gap down. To help you prepare, here is what the Street is expecting:

Earnings Preview

The company is expected to report a loss of (-$0.15)/share on $$1.14 billion in revenue. Meanwhile, the so-called Whisper number is a loss of (-$0.17)/share. The Whisper number is the Street’s unofficial view on earnings.

A Closer Look At The Fundamentals

The company made headlines in 2021 when it had the historic short squeeze. Hollywood made a movie, titled Dumb Money, about the events and that is slated to be released soon. The company has been losing money for years and needs a bullish catalyst to help it turnaround.

A Closer Look At The Technicals

Technically, the stock fell hard after its historic short squeeze rally. The stock has been falling for years and is doing its best to bottom. A new uptrend will be confirmed if the stock can trade -and stay- above $27/share. Until then, the trend, and, the path of least resistance is down. The bulls want to see the stock gap up on the news and the bears want to see it gap down.

Pay Attention To How The Stock Reacts To The News

From where I sit, the most important trait I look for during earnings season is how the market and a specific company reacts to the news. Remember, always keep your losses small and never argue with the tape.
