Read MoreHide Full Article
GameStop (GME - Free Report) shares popped +11% in today’s trading session as the world’s largest video game retailer was able to crush its Q4 earnings expectations after-market hours on Tuesday.
Fueling the rally, GameStop also announced its attention to invest in Bitcoin in a bid to make use of its growing cash pile. Certainly, investors may be wondering if they should chase the post-earnings rally in the infamous meme stock with GME sitting on +100% gains over the last year but still down 16% in 2025.

GameStop’s Q4 Results
Thanks to its cost-cutting initiatives, GameStop reported Q4 net income of $131.3 million or $0.30 per share which crushed EPS expectations of $0.09. Year over year, Q4 earnings spiked from $63.1 million in the comparative quarter or $0.22 a share.
This was despite Q4 sales of $1.28 billion missing estimates of $1.45 billion and falling from $1.79 billion in the prior period.

Full-Year Results
Rounding its operating year for fiscal 2025, GameStop's annual earnings spiked to $0.33 per share from EPS of $0.06 in FY24. That said, GameStop’s declining revenue has continued with total sales dropping to $3.82 billion versus $5.27 billion in FY24.
Over the years, the steep decline in revenue has been attributed to a shift to digital gaming and increased competition from retailers such as Best Buy (BBY - Free Report) , Walmart (WMT - Free Report) , and Amazon (AMZN - Free Report) .

GameStop’s Impressive Balance Sheet
Correlating with the decision to invest in Bitcoin, GameStop’s cash & equivalents have ballooned to $4.75 billion from $921.7 million a year ago.
Further echoing the turnaround in GameStop’s operating efficiency is that the company now has $5.87 billion in total assets compared to $945.6 million in total liabilities.
Bottom Line
While it may be tempting to chase the rally in GameStop’s stock there could be better buying opportunities ahead. To that point, at $28 a share, GME still trades at a stretched premium in terms of valuation although GameStop’s management appears to have the company headed in the right direction despite the continued decline in revenue.
