Our model rates GME Neutral (57/100) on growth, profitability, financial health, and valuation. The summary below is built from its filed financials and current ratios and refreshes automatically.
Economic Moat
Evidence of durable competitive advantage in the filed financials (10 years of history).
Profit margins and economic moats, explainedThe numbers don't show a durable competitive advantage — margins, growth, or returns on capital have been unstable or thin. Great returns are still possible; they just aren't protected.
28.9% average over the last 3 years
±3.4 pts around 27.5% across 10 years
grew in 2 of the last 9 year-over-year periods
positive in 7 of 10 years
2.0% latest fiscal year
A moat can't be proven by numbers alone — this scores the evidence a durable advantage leaves behind (pricing power, consistency, returns on capital), computed the same way for every stock. Pair it with the business overview before concluding anything.
Technical Analysis (Educational)
Technical analysis reads price and volume to judge momentum and timing. It complements the fundamentals above — it does not replace them. Here is what GME's chart says today, with each tool explained.
Trend — moving averages. A moving average is the average closing price over a window, which smooths out daily noise. GME trades near $26.99, above its 50-day average ($22.61) and 200-day average ($23.02). Price above both averages, with the shorter one above the longer, is the textbook definition of an uptrend — momentum favours buyers.
Momentum — RSI. The Relative Strength Index runs 0–100 and measures how strong recent gains are versus losses. Above 70 is "overbought", below 30 "oversold". At 61 it is in neutral territory — neither stretched nor washed out.
MACD. MACD compares two moving averages to flag shifts in momentum. Its histogram is currently positive — short-term momentum is improving.
Volatility — ATR. Average True Range is the typical daily move. GME's is $0.56 (~2.1% of price), so swings of about that size each day are normal — handy for setting a stop that isn't too tight.
Support & resistance. In the month to Jul 6, 2026, GME found buyers near $20.93 (support) and sellers near $23.11 (resistance); its 52-week range then was $19.93–$28.10. A decisive break beyond either edge often marks the next move.
Volume. The latest session traded 0.3× the 20-day average — lighter than usual, so the move carries less conviction. Rising volume on up-days suggests real buying; on down-days, real selling.

Revenue Growth
4Y CAGR
-11.8%
Revenue moved from $7.96B in 2017 to $3.63B in 2026, a -8.4% compound annual growth rate. The most recent year was roughly flat (1.6%) year over year. Slower, mature growth is common for established businesses.

Net Margin
11.5%
ROE
14.0%
GameStop Corp keeps about 20.4% of each sales dollar as net profit, with a 33.0% gross margin and 6.4% operating margin. Return on equity is 14.0% and return on invested capital about 2.0%. Margins this wide usually signal pricing power or a cost advantage.
Debt Analysis
Total Debt
$4.16B
Net Debt
-$3.23B
Net cash position
Net Debt / EBITDA

Debt / Equity
0.76x

Cash Flow Analysis
Operating CF
$614.80M
Free Cash Flow
$597.30M
FCF Margin
16.5%
In the latest year GameStop Corp produced about $614.80M of operating cash flow and $597.30M of free cash flow after capital spending. That is a free-cash-flow yield of about -0.6% on today's price. Cash flow is what ultimately pays shareholders, so it is worth tracking over time.

Valuation Analysis

2.13x
EV / EBITDA
24.3x
GME trades at 13.2x trailing earnings (about 9.4x on estimated forward earnings), 2.8x sales, and 2.1x book value. Reverse-engineering today's price implies the market expects roughly 3.0% long-term free-cash-flow growth. That is an undemanding multiple — potentially cheap if the business is stable.

Educational scenario model, not a forecast or investment advice. It starts from the latest annual revenue in SEC filings. By default, growth is trailing revenue growth (held between 3% and 45% a year), the net margin is the latest one (held between 3% and 50%, so a loss-making company is modeled with a small profit), and the Base case P/E runs from 60% to 100% of today's. Carrying recent growth forward five years can miss badly in either direction. Outputs are only as good as the assumptions.
Bull Case
The case for GME:
- High net margins (20.4%) point to pricing power or efficiency.
Bear Case
The case against GME:
- Revenue growth is slow (1.6%), limiting the upside engine.
- Limited free cash flow at today's price.
Key Risks
Growth risk — sluggish revenue (1.6%) leaves little margin for execution missteps.
Market risk — sector rotation, the economic cycle, and broad sentiment move the stock regardless of fundamentals.
Investment Thesis
On balance, the picture is mixed: GameStop Corp is a large-cap consumer discretionary business growing at a mature pace, with solid profitability, and a heavier debt load to watch. It trades at 13.2x earnings, which our model scores Neutral (57/100). Weigh this against your own goals and time horizon — this is educational information, not a recommendation.

How is the 5-year projection for GME calculated?
It's a scenario model. It starts from the latest annual revenue and net margin in SEC filings, grows revenue at an assumed rate (trailing revenue growth by default), and applies a P/E range built around today's multiple to show the resulting share-price range. When a stock has no growth or P/E data, the starting values are placeholders. It's a tool for thinking, not a prediction.
