The video game retailer's stock has dropped by 5.78% in the past month, falling short of the Consumer Discretionary sector's loss of 1.35% and the S&P 500's gain of 3.64%.

For the annual period, the Zacks Consensus Estimates anticipate earnings of $0.75 per share and a revenue of $3.58 billion, signifying shifts of +127.27% and -6.29%, respectively, from the last year.
It is also important to note the recent changes to analyst estimates for GameStop. Such recent modifications usually signify the changing landscape of near-term business trends. As a result, we can interpret positive estimate revisions as a good sign for the business outlook.
Research indicates that these estimate revisions are directly correlated with near-term share price momentum. To take advantage of this, we've established the Zacks Rank, an exclusive model that considers these estimated changes and delivers an operational rating system.
Ranging from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell), the Zacks Rank system has a proven, outside-audited track record of outperformance, with #1 stocks returning an average of +25% annually since 1988. Over the past month, there's been no change in the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. GameStop is currently sporting a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold).
