GameStop Stock Soars, Hitting New Highs
52 Week Range 995 - 2765
GameStop Corporation's (GME) stock has been on a wild ride in recent weeks, hitting new highs and drawing the attention of investors. The stock, which closed yesterday at 5.305, has seen its price fluctuate wildly since the beginning of the year. In January, the stock was trading at a 52-week low of 995, but it has since rebounded and is now trading at a 52-week high of 2765. This represents a gain of over 180% year-to-date.
Factors Driving the Stock's Rise
Several factors have contributed to the recent rise in GameStop's stock price. First, the company has benefited from the stay-at-home orders imposed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, as people turn to video games for entertainment. Second, GameStop has been able to increase its online sales, which have helped offset the decline in in-store sales. Third, the company has made several strategic acquisitions, including the purchase of ThinkGeek and EB Games, which have helped expand its product offerings and customer base.
Analysts' Outlook
Analysts are generally bullish on GameStop's stock, citing the company's strong online presence and growing customer base. However, some analysts caution that the stock's recent rise may be unsustainable and that it could be due for a correction. Investors should be aware of the risks involved before investing in GameStop's stock.
