Video game retailer GameStop (GME) reports earnings after the close this Tuesday, June 10. While the cult stock always drives a certain level of interest, this time around, the headlines are particularly wild:

  • GME has invested $500 million in Bitcoin (BTCUSD) buys
  • There’s been heavy insider buying from CEO Ryan Cohen
  • The stock dropped 15% from its 52-week high, but has recovered 26% in 3 months

Let’s break down what traders need to know heading into this critical report — and how to use Barchart’s tools to trade it.

GameStop Earnings Are June 10

Mark your calendar: GameStop reports after the bell on Tuesday, June 10.

The only analyst that covers GameStop has a “Strong Sell” rating on the stock with a price target of $13.50, which translates to potential downside of more than 50% from current levels.

With a recent 28% YoY revenue decline, the stock’s fundamentals are still shaky — but that hasn’t stopped the dedicated legion of GME bulls.

Insiders Are Buying the Dip

CEO Ryan Cohen and other insiders bought over $10 million worth of stock in April.

That’s a serious vote of confidence — and a key signal for investors watching sentiment shifts.

GameStop Just Bought Bitcoin

GME just added 4,710 BTC to its balance sheet — worth over $500 million.

While big tech firms like Meta (META), Amazon (AMZN), and Microsoft (MSFT) recently rejected similar strategies, GameStop is doubling down on digital assets.

Technicals Show a “Golden Cross”

GameStop just triggered a bullish trade alert: a Golden Cross — when the 50-day moving average crosses above the 200-day.
