自GameStop股價暴漲之后,該公司將于美東時間3月23日下午公布其財務情況。
今年早些時候,Reddit的r/WallStreetBets社區推動GameStop的股價飆升了2700%之多。這家視頻游戲零售商將首次公布季度收益。據預計,數字將會相當可觀。
分析師預計,該公司即將公布的季度營收和利潤,將是兩年以來最強勁的數字。但這并不歸功于商業環境的變化,更多的是由于假期銷售和索尼(Sony)、微軟(Microsoft)新游戲系統的發布所帶來的季節性增長。
GameStop的管理層從一開始就未對其股價上漲做出回應,也沒有公開談論監管機構對該公司的關注。但是,在財報電話會議上,管理層或將無法避免相關話題。
目前最大的問題是:投資者將作何反應?賣空者一直堅持做空該公司,但機構投資者肯定對目前的價位感到不安。
分析師預計,GameStop的凈銷售額將達到22.9億美元,調整后每股收益為1.35美元。同店銷售額預計將增長8%。
不過,Wedbush Securities公司的邁克爾·帕切特對這一增長數字表示懷疑。
他在給投資者的一份報告中說:“盡管2020年第四季度發布了幾款備受矚目的增量游戲,但數字組合轉換的步伐和微軟Game Pass訂閱的流行可能吸收了大部分的銷售增長。新游戲機的供應仍然受到限制。這些因素共同導致同店銷售額從11月的16.5%下降至假日期間的4.8%,遠低于NPD水平,并意味著12月的數據將出現負增長。”
股票價格并不是GameStop近期經歷的唯一波動。自2017年以來,該公司共更換了5位首席執行官,并取消了公司出售的計劃。最近,Chewy的創始人瑞恩·科恩在該公司平均股價僅為8.43美元的情況下,投資了7600萬美元,收購了該公司相當大數量的股份。他最近被任命為一個委員會的負責人,該委員會表示,將尋求一些舉措,幫助GameStop在傳統的實體業務之外繼續轉型。
但委員會的聲明中并未提及GameStop的首席執行官喬治·舍曼。(財富中文網)

After its stock went on a rocket-fueled ride to the stratosphere, GameStop will pull the curtain back on its financials on March 23 afternoon.
The video game retailer is scheduled to report its first quarterly earnings since Reddit’s r/WallStreetBets community sent the stock soaring as much as 2,700% earlier this year. And they’re anticipated to be especially strong.
Analysts expect the company to post its strongest quarterly revenue and profit in two years. That’s less because of a change in the business environment, though, and more due to the seasonal bump that comes with holiday sales and the launch of new game systems from Sony and Microsoft.
GameStop management hasn’t addressed the stock’s ascent since it began, nor has it spoken publicly about the attention it has received from regulators. The company is unlikely to be able to avoid the topic on the earnings call, though.
The big question is, How will investors react? Short-sellers have stuck with the company, but institutional investors are certainly uncomfortable with the current price point.
Analysts expect GameStop will post net sales of $2.29 billion and an adjusted earnings per share of $1.35. Same-store sales (comps) are expected to be up 8%.
Michael Pachter of Wedbush Securities, though, is skeptical of that comps number.
“Although Q4:20 featured several high-profile and incremental releases, the pace of digital mix shift and the popularity of Microsoft’s Game Pass subscription likely absorbed much of the sales increase,” he said in a note to investors. “New consoles remain supply-constrained, and these factors drove a comps decline from up 16.5% in November to up 4.8% for the holidays, well below the NPD levels and implying negative comps for December.”
The stock price isn’t the only volatility GameStop has undergone in recent times. The company has had five CEOs since 2017 and has scrapped plans to sell itself. More recently, Chewy founder Ryan Cohen acquired a sizable holding in the company, investing $76 million when shares were trading at an average of just $8.43. He recently was put in charge of a committee that said it will seek out initiatives that can help GameStop continue its transition beyond its brick-and-mortar origins.
GameStop CEO George Sherman was not mentioned in the announcement of that committee.
