Dear GameStop Stock Fans, Mark Your Calendars for June 9
GameStop (GME) shares have rallied significantly in the build up to the company's Q1 results that are expected to be released on June 9.
Consensus is for the gaming merchandise retailer to earn $0.08 per share in its first quarter – up sharply from $0.12 share of loss in the same quarter last year.
At the time of writing, GameStop stock is up some 60% versus its year-to-date low.
Q1 Earnings Are Particularly Significant for GameStop Stock
GME's first-quarter earnings will be closely watched as they'll provide early insights into its Bitcoin (BTCUSD) strategy and whether it's positively impacting the company's financials.
The retailer's board approved a plan to invest in Bitcoin in late March. GameStop even raised $1.5 billion through a convertible debt offering this year, with some of the proceeds earmarked for BTC purchases.
Investors will, therefore, scrutinize how Bitcoin holdings have so far influenced GME's cash flow, profitability, and balance sheet. All in all, the upcoming release could shape the sentiment around GameStop stock for the remainder of 2025.
Is It Worth Buying GME Shares in 2025?
While the recently embraced Bitcoin strategy could generate outsized returns for GameStop stock moving forward, the retailer remains a risky investment in 2025 as its core business continues to shrink.
In its latest reported quarter, GME saw its revenue tank a little over 28% on a year-on-year basis.
Additionally, the NYSE-listed firm currently has a trailing price-earnings multiple of more than 100x, far above industry norms, indicating a big disconnect between the company's valuation and its fundamentals.
Caution is warranted in buying GME shares as the retailer lacks a clear growth strategy.
Wall Street Is Bearish on GameStop
Investors should note that Wall Street remains bearish on GameStop stock this year as well.
The one analyst tracked by Barchart currently holds a ' Strong Sell ' rating with a price target of $13.50, indicating potential downside of more than 60% from current levels.

Here's Why Aehr Test Systems Surged Again This Week
Shares in Aehr Test Systems (NASDAQ: AEHR) rose another 15.9% in the week to Friday morning. The move marks another wave of optimism for its potential to diversify away from its core silicon carbide (SiC) wafer-level burn-in (WLBI) test solutions and into new markets such as the gallium nitride (GaN) WLBI market. Why developing new markets matters Not only would diversification help reduce dependence on the SiC WLBI market (where ON Semiconductor is traditionally a major customer for Aehr), it would also move Aehr Test Systems into a GaN market that appears to be building momentum. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Continue » The good news is Aehr disclosed that three of its four customers, each of which represented more than 10% of its revenue in the third quarter, were in artificial intelligence processors and in the GaN WLBI market on its recent earnings call. The latter is pertinent considering that Navitas Semiconductor recently said it had been selected to collaborate with Nvidia to develop GaN and SiC chips for the next-generation data center architecture. The news sent Navitas stock soaring, and this week Navitas also said it had a partnership in place to develop SiC chips with BrightLoop. Navitas and Aehr Test Systems All of which raises the question whether Navitas is one of the customers Aehr's management mentioned recently. Confidentiality agreements preclude disclosure, but at a recent William Blair conference, the moderator referenced the Navitas/Nvidia collaboration when introducing Aehr CEO Gayn Erickson. Erickson didn't deny that Navitas is a customer. That's way short of a strong conclusion that Navitas is a significant Aehr customer, and Sherlock Holmes would blush at the logic, but it's probably what's driving the stock higher this week. Should you invest $1,000 in Aehr Test Systems right now? Before you buy stock in Aehr Test Systems, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the 10 best stocks for investors to buy now… and Aehr Test Systems wasn't one of them.

Create Account Anthony Constantinou stole at least £70 million (US$95.1 million) from investors he lured with the promise of risk free returns, and was sentenced to 14 years in prison in his absence. News outlets including UK tabloid The Sun and Miami-based website OffshoreAlert reported that Constantinou died of a heart attack in July 2024 while in Guadalajara, Mexico. A death certificate has been filed in Mexico and seen by the City of London Police, but investigators remain unconvinced that Constantinou has actually died, according to lawyers at a court hearing on Thursday. They have evidence of Constantinou's cremation within 24 hours of his death, but some of the documents reviewed contain inaccuracies, including that Constantinou's mother was Mexican. He is known to be of Greek-Cypriot heritage. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. 'There remains an active search for his whereabouts,' David Durose, a prosecution lawyer, said in court. 'If there were more legitimate grounds to believe that the defendant may have died the Crown would be looking more carefully at it.' Constantinou had no legal representation at the hearing. The police want to recover some of the investor cash that was lost in the scheme and asked the judge to make an order that would help them seize assets. So far recoveries have been minimal, despite Constantinou enjoying a lavish lifestyle, with money being traced through a number of offshore jurisdictions. Constantinou was sentenced in his absence after he disappeared weeks into his trial in 2023. A warrant for his arrest was issued shortly after. Weeks after he disappeared he was arrested in Bulgaria for carrying fake identification documents, but for unknown reasons he was let go. His firm, CWM, lured in victims with false promises of generous returns on risk-free foreign exchange market transactions and lavish perks. Operating out of an office in the City of London's Heron Tower, he enticed investors from late 2013 by boasting of generous returns on allegedly risk-free foreign exchange market transactions, for a minimum investment of £100,000. Client funds were also used to boost Constantinou's lifestyle including his £2.5 million wedding in Santorini, the court heard. Sunshine Girls Sunshine Girls Toronto & GTA Toronto & GTA Olympics
