Some interesting data points to note from Wall Street's expectations for GameStop's Q1 2022 results include the very wide array of EPS estimates and the lack of a whisper number. Not a single analyst expects GameStop to report a profit for Q1 2022. It also appears that our friends at Earnings Whispers have just given up on trying to predict GME results, but we will keep an eye on their site tomorrow. GameStop (GME) short interest sits at around 22% according to Yahoo Finance, but many investors believe some games are being played with the share float and hedge fund disclosures. The stock is still classified as "Hard-to-Borrow" with estimated borrowing rates jumping at many different brokers. 

As always, we will wait for the actual financial results to be posted by GameStop before we make any judgements. The stock has caught a bid lately, with the release of the GameStop Wallet Chrome extension and murmurs of an imminent launch of the NFT Marketplace.

We will be streaming the GameStop (GME) Q1 2022 earnings conference call on our Shacknews Twitch channel, so be sure to give us a follow to be notified when we go live.
