Country: United States, Australia, United Kingdom. City: Chicago, El Paso, Mesa, Minneapolis, West Palm BeachIn this video I review GameStop (GME, $4.03, $260M market cap). As of July 2020 I'm bullish on the stock – perhaps foolishly so. What are your thoughts on GME? Do you agree or disagree with my take? What did I overlook in my analysis? Which of my assumptions were off? There's a lot to cover in a GME thesis. I did my best to review what I consider most of the important items. As time passes I'm sure I'll realize I forgot to discuss something important. I'll update this description with such updates. One item I failed to mention is how management could use GME's rising cash balance to repurchase the remaining 2021 bonds on the open market at a discount; the bonds currently trade at ~87 as of July 2020. It's possible the discount would vanish if they attempted to buy back the bonds in size, but it's still a scenario worth mentioning because such a move would marginally increase its value per share. Another glaring omission is Scott Preston's GME piece in Barron's from February 2020 – I can't believe I forgot to mention it. It's one of the best articles written on the company and a must-read for anyone following the story. In particular Scott does a terrific job walking through the different ways GME can reinvent itself.
