GameStop shares drop as executives mum on turnaround plan details


Despite the stronger numbers, investors reacted by pushing the shares down 7.7% in after-hours trading, complaining on the internet that the company was still not taking questions and was declining to tip its hand about future plans.

BOSTON: GameStop Corp, at the center of this year's "meme stock" trading frenzy, on Wednesday reported a 25% jump in quarterly sales but failed to lay out fresh details about how it plans to refashion itself into a gaming and entertainment retailer.

Fresh from raising new capital and watching its share price march higher during the second quarter, GameStop executives reported that net sales, the company's main performance metric, jumped to $1.18 billion in the three months ended July 31 from $942 million a year earlier as vaccinations encouraged people to return to its stores.
