Shares of GameStop Corp. rose in extended trading Wednesday after the videogame retailer reported second-quarter results that beat expectations.
The company reported a net loss of $2.8 million, or 1 cent a share, compared with $108.7 million, or 36 cents a share, in the same quarter last year. Revenue crept higher to $1.16 billion, compared with $1.14 billion in the prior-year quarter. GameStop’s GME, -2.50% adjusted net loss per share was 3 cents. The company ended the quarter with cash and equivalents of $1.195 billion.Shares jumped 14% after hours. The company, as with its previous round of earnings, said it would not be holding a conference call.
The chain reported the results in the wake of the firing of its chief executive, the resignation of its chief financial officer and the election of activist investor Ryan Cohen to executive chair, after Cohen over the past few years amassed greater influence over the company. GameStop ended the prior quarter with around $1.3 billion in cash and equivalents, and was positioned to benefit from the recent release of popular games like “The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom” and “Diablo IV.” But Wall Street has had broader concerns about a shift to mobile and digital gaming, and the threat posed to physical videogame retailers.
