GME Financial Results: Analysis

GameStop Corp. (GME) reported mixed results for Q2 FY 2022. The company reported losses per share of $0.36, slightly narrower than analyst predictions. GameStop completed a four-for-one stock split in July. On the other hand, the company's revenue came in at $1.1 billion, down 4.0% year over year (YOY) and behind consensus estimates that called for $1.3 billion in revenue for the quarter. GameStop is regarded as one of the first meme stocks that arose out of the r/wallstreetbets subreddit in 2020.

GME Partnership With FTX

GameStop announced a partnership with Bahamas-based cryptocurrency exchange FTX at the time of its earnings release. The partnership will see the company collaborate with the exchange on new ecommerce and online marketing initiatives. GameStop has recently expanded its ventures into the crypto and crypto-adjacent spaces, as it launched a non-fungible token (NFT) marketplace in July.
