While GameStop (GME 0.48%) once looked destined to go the way of the dodo bird, CEO Ryan Cohen's efforts have led to a turnaround at the company. This was once again on display when the company reported its fiscal second-quarter results.
GameStop (GME) shares rose after the video game retailer posted better-than-expected results and announced it now held more than half a billion dollars worth of bitcoin.
GameStop's Q2 revenue beat was likely driven by strong Nintendo Switch 2 sales, with Hardware up 31% YoY and Collectibles sustaining even higher growth. The company now holds $9.2 billion in cash and Bitcoin, increased largely due to convertible bond issuance. Warrants will be issued to investors, potentially raising another $1.9 billion if exercised over the next 14 months, signaling management's optimism for a share price above $32.
GameStop is successfully pivoting to trading cards, a high-margin, secular growth business, with strong execution and growing collectibles revenue. The company's solid balance sheet, with significant net cash and GAAP profitability, provides stability and time for its business model transition. Valuation is attractive, especially considering the collectibles segment's growth and margin profile, supporting my $34/share value estimate.
