GameStop's Stock, GME, Jumps 8% on Reports of Sycamore Partners Buyout

Shareholders of GameStop finally have some good news.

GameStop shareholders have been getting beat up for the past year with very few respites from what seems to be a never-ending selloff of the stock. This may have changed today just after 3:00 PM ET as the stock was halted due to a volatile move to the upside. Reuters is reporting that GameStop is in talks with buyout firms regarding a potential takeover of the stock.

GameStop currently carries a "Buy Rating" in our Game Trader: Video Game and Tech Stock Ratings. Apparently Sycamore Partners agrees with my analysis that GameStop's stock is cheap. GameStop's chart was highlighted in our recent Pre-E3 stock chart analysis with a technical buy signal becoming active above $13.89/share on the monthly chart. This is great news for shareholders, but don't get too excited as neither GameStop nor Sycamore Partners have confirmed these talks are ongoing. The news that Sycamore Partners has hired a financial advisor to assist in these discussions is definitely bullish for GameStop shareholders, but there is no guarantee that GameStop's board and shareholders will decide to sell.
