Getty Images I still think GameStop ( GME ) may achieve a successful turnaround. My original thesis was that GameStop was a turnaround stock because it started selling higher-margin collectibles. I said that its pivot was working , but I still considered it a hold because it appeared slightly overvalued. But now, investors are interested in GameStop for another reason. GameStop has a lot of cash on its balance sheet and now plans to use its cash to buy another company. If that happens, investors could be looking at a very different company. So, in this update, I decided to investigate what would happen if GameStop did make a big acquisition. For the time being, though, GameStop’s valuation appears reasonable for its current gaming-store business. GameStop closed or sold 998 stores in 2025, according to its 2025 10-K , and it now has 2,206 stores. So, both its revenue and its expenses are lower now. In Q4 2025, GameStop’s revenue fell 10.8% to $1.104 billion, but its gross profit rose 6.4% to $386.8 million. So, the retail stores’ margins are still improving. If you adjust for other factors such as fluctuations in bitcoin prices and tax benefits, it looks like GameStop’s pivot to collectible sales is still working fairly well. GameStop didn’t report Q4 comps or provide 2026 guidance, though, which is unusual for a retail store. But again, its investors might not care about that. The most important thing in GameStop’s report is that the company has $6.30 billion in cash and $2.71 billion in marketable securities, so it effectively has $9.01 billion in cash right now. And that might allow it to buy a much larger company. So, that’s the first factor I’d consider in this update. GameStop Might Be Able to Buy a Larger Company Than Investors Expect GameStop also has $4.16 billion in long-term debt, so it has a net cash position of $4.85 billion. And it might be able to spend even more than that on an acquisition. I’ve seen other companies leverage themselves up to 4X net d...
