GameStop's cash flow statement has also been a focus for investors. The company saw their cash holdings decrease by $126.6 million in Q2 2022, and $116.2 million of cash outflows in the most recent quarter. It will be interesting to see how the Statement of Cash Flows will play out in Q2 2023. It's important to note that the company announced that GameStop Wallet will be shuttering by the end of the year, and the CFO resigned. The company made some poorly-timed bets in the crypto space, but still had over $1 billion of cash on the balance sheet heading into the second quarter of 2023.

Today's Q2 2023 report is also the first quarterly earnings release since activist investor and Chewy Co-Founder Ryan Cohen took on his new role as Executive Chairman of GameStop. There was no Q1 2023 earnings results conference call, and GameStop had not provided any update on it's investor relations website at the time this article went live. Either way, Shacknews will be on our Twitch channel reacting to the news as it breaks.
