Gamestop pops as Bitcoin as part of its investment strategy now
5 minutes ago
GameStop (GME) stocks surged on Wednesday, the day after retailers announced their fourth quarter results, and announced they would add Bitcoin (BTCUSD) to their corporate investment policy.
Confirmation that Bitcoin is part of GameStop's strategy followed reports last month that retailers may be considering investing in cryptocurrency. A photo posted on social media (again last month) by GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen also called Strategy's co-founder Michael Saylor (MSTR) also called Bitcoin's biggest corporate holder, Bitcoin.
GameStop shares have risen 16% in recent trading and have risen nearly 90% over the past 12 months.
“I think this means that the company is trying to invest in Bitcoin,” Wedbush analyst said in a note after the announcement.
Analysts are hoping that the stock will rise from $10 to $11.50 with a “underperformance” rating to over half of the stock. They said GameStop proves them wrong by approaching destruction on a business basis, and will record operating losses of less than $10 million in each of the last two fiscal years.
GameStop reported a decline in revenue in the fourth quarter, but profits rose year-on-year as retailers closed stores and tried to cut costs.
“It's controversial that the Q4 outcome is not sustainable, but we didn't even expect GameStop to approach break-even again. We were wrong. And it's clear that the company's operations are worth some kind of value, despite the fact that the stock price isn't as great as it suggests,” the analyst wrote.

Tesla shares Pare's profits after five days of victory
28 minutes ago
Tesla (TSLA) shares fell Wednesday, threatening EV Maker's rebounds due to long-term slump.
Tesla shares have recently fallen more than 4%, up over 27% in five sessions to date. The climb marked the highest growth in that length since investors bid on stocks following Trump's November election victory.
Before the rally began last week, Tesla shares fell more than 50% from their all-time high set in December, with much of that decline rising between February and early March. Sales of Tesla in major markets like Europe have been hindering this year despite growing demand for electric vehicles. Tesla cars and dealers are targeted by vandals who are upset by CEO Elon Musk's political influence. And the enthusiastic bull is publicly concerned that musk is too thin due to his business and government work.

However, the price of Tesla stocks seems to have little to do with the health of the EV business. This reveals that William Blair analysts cut their full year vehicle sales estimates by more than 10%, while maintaining their stock ratings.
“Despite the revisions in the near term of the automotive business, we remain positive this year about the faster than expected ramps for the megapack business and ride-sharing,” the analyst wrote. (MegaPack is Tesla's industrial energy storage product.)
Analysts said trading in Tesla stocks was often “a function of momentum.” So they argue that the stock's important pullback is the reason for optimism. “We believe expectations are nearing the bottom, and as they reset, stocks will go down and momentum will regain,” the analyst wrote.
