🚨 The @GameStop story was never just about video games. It was about what happens when regular people realize the market is not as clean, fair, or rational as they were told. $GME
$GME Q1 2026 EARNINGS REPORT:
1. Operating income reached $143.3 million, compared to just $10.8 million a year ago. ✔️
2. Net income came in at $389.6 million, up from $44.8 million last year. ✔️
That represents roughly a 770% increase year-over-year.
3. Revenue grew 14% YoY to $835.3 million.
Many expected continued sales declines but GameStop posted solid top line growth this quarter 😮💨
4. SG&A expenses declined to $201.6 million from $228.1 million despite higher sales.
5. GameStop ended the quarter with $9.7 billion in:
Cash
Marketable securities
Digital assets
Related receivables
Derivative collateral
Including:
$8.4B cash and marketable securities
$1.0B derivative collateral
$0.4B digital assets
• THE BREAKING NEWS HERE:
6. The Board approved a new $2.0 billion share repurchase authorization through June 2029.
At a share price around $21:
$2B could retire roughly 95 million shares
More than 20% of the current share count
This does not mean they will immediately buy shares, but management now has the authority to do so whenever they see fit.
Three things matter most:
Revenue growth returned.
Operating profit surged.
A $2B buyback authorization was approved.
The bear thesis that GameStop is simply a declining retailer becomes much harder to defend when the company is producing record operating profits while sitting on nearly $10 billion of liquidity and assets. ✍🏻
I have enormous confidence in AMC and the 2026/2027 box office. So today, using my own money, I bought 250,000 more AMC shares personally, at market price.
I now own outright 2,437,020 AMC shares, raising the total where I have an economic interest to 12,322,429 AMC shares*
It actually can be very hard for a CEO of a public company to buy shares. You have to clear having possession of any material non public information, sort out implications of any ongoing debt and equity transactions, and not be in a quiet period before when earnings will be announced. I was finally in a position to buy even more AMC shares today, and I did.
As I said, I have great confidence in AMC’s future. So, again today, I put my money where my mouth is.
This brings my holdings up to 12.3 million shares* of AMC common stock. My understanding is that I have been, and now even more so I remain, AMC’s biggest individual retail investor.
I should probably mention that I have not sold even a single share of AMC stock since January of 2022, more than four years ago.
I RIDE WITH YOU !!!

(*For precision: this includes AMC shares I already own, and those which previously have been granted to me as part of my annual compensation and which will vest based on length of service and at target levels of performance over the next thirty three months, on a pre-tax basis.)
@Smart_Money Seit 5 Jahren drin, nie verkauft, immer mal wieder nachgekauft. Der CEO ist the Goat. Auch ohne Short Squeeze langfristiger Value Play und schon lange kein meme mehr.
@GameStop touched $30 overnight.
Then regular people woke up to a chart acting like it never happened.
That is the problem.
The stock can rip in after-hours trading, institutions can react before most retail investors even have access, liquidity can vanish, spreads can widen, algos can whip the price around, and by morning the move gets sanitized into some watered-down version of reality.
This is why people don’t trust the market.
@GameStop announces a massive strategic move and instead of a clean repricing, we get the same circus:
Sudden reversals. Convenient resistance. Softened charts. Negative framing. A market that looks allergic to letting $GME breathe.
We’ve seen this before.
When other companies announce bold treasury or transformation plans, Wall Street rewards the optionality.
When @GameStop does it, suddenly everyone becomes a forensic accountant, a skeptic, a risk manager, and a concerned citizen.
Give me a break.
@GameStop has cash. @GameStop has no legacy debt problem. @GameStop has a loyal shareholder base. @GameStop has @RyanCohen. @GameStop has optionality Wall Street still refuses to price honestly.
This remains one of the most distorted stocks in the market because the old story was supposed to be simple:
@GameStop dies. Shorts win. Retail leaves. Wall Street moves on.
But @GameStop didn’t die.
It got stronger.
Now the same people who mocked it have to explain why the “dying retailer” is making moves big enough to shake the market before the opening bell.
The story is not over.
The shorts should be more nervous now than they’ve ever been.
Buckle up.
@AdlerNews@Eintracht Ich sehe keinen Mehrwert jetzt jemanden zu installieren, der ebenfalls nicht in Dortmund gewinnt. Also ist es egal. Lieber 8. oder 9. werden und kompletten Umbruch im Sommer. Vielleicht wachen dann die Verantwortlichen aus ihrer Lethargie mal auf. Wäre wünschenswert.
87% short volume traded yesterday on $GME
They're still using dark pools excessively to divert trades from the lit exchanges.
As Ryan Cohen said "Let them short"
🚨 @michaeljburry says the meme crowd has “no idea.”
Perfect.
Because the best moves in markets happen when the majority still thinks they’re above the joke.
@GameStop is the most misunderstood symbol in modern finance.
They called it a meme so they wouldn’t have to admit what it exposed.
They made a movie so they could frame it like history.
They mocked the believers so they wouldn’t have to confront the mechanism.
Now imagine this:
Burry lighting the match. @TheRoaringKitty returns. The world already conditioned for the sequel. $GME starts moving in a market that still hasn’t learned a damn thing.
That’s not a rerun.
That’s the part where the story stops being entertainment and starts becoming a problem again.
Dumb Money was the recap.
The sequel is the reckoning.
