GameStop’s cash balance has dropped by $116.2 million in Q1 2023.

This is a sharp drop from Nearly $1.2 billion it had at the end of the previous quarter. The $116.2 million loss in just one quarter is undoubtedly enough to raise some light concerns, especially if the trend continues in the coming months.
