Global video game retailer GameStop $GME will release its earnings report Tuesday. The company is aiming to diversify its production, as its video gaming business has become outdated.
GameStop stock reached its peak in 2021 when a group of small investors, encouraged by the Reddit $RDDT community WallStreetBets and helped along by an Elon Musk tweet, caused shares to skyrocket 1,000% in two weeks. The price hit a record high of $483 per share.
GameStop has not experienced significant growth in some time — it’s now trading at around $13 per share. Revenue performance and operating margins will be important to monitor in the upcoming report, as they may affect the stock price.

Apple, Alphabet, Nvidia, and Micron were star stock performers last week, ending the week with 0.5%, 2%, 3%, and 0.3% jumps, respectively.
Donald Trump’s Truth Social merged with Digital World Acquisition Company on Friday, which could mean a multi-billion dollar windfall for the former president as he tries to return to the White House.
