GameStop disclosed on June 7, 2024 that it filed a prospectus supplement with the U.S Securities and Exchange Commission to offer and sell up to a maximum amount of 75,000,000 shares of its common stock from time to time through the ATM Program. The Company sold the maximum number of shares registered under the ATM Program for aggregate gross proceeds (before commissions and offering expenses) of approximately $2.137 billion.

GameStop made an SEC filing to sell up to 75 million shares of its stock on Friday. This came after the stock saw a lot of action in the wake of the return of Keith “Roaring Kitty” Gill on social media. Last week, Gill held his first YouTube livestream in over three years, reeling in hundreds of thousands of live viewers.

GameStop’s balance sheet now includes over $4 billion in cash. For more GameStop news, please stick with us here on Shacknews.

        Well the offering is over so you’d be “fine” buying it now. Think about how little the price moved with all that selling. The dilution is already done. Honestly, the company is in a stronger position after this. Not saying the current stock price is either realistic or at its floor though.

        Why would the company's $4 billion in cash holdings make you reconsider?

          Oh no, it jumped more than 22% today, I had a feeling it was due for a rebound after last week's drama

          But aside from that, I don't know about their financials and would not be a long term investor

            Oh, yeah it had a decent trade setup last week. Might still be some upside with the shareholder meeting on Thursday.

      What is the tax code on this, is it considered normal income?

        This would not show up on the income statement. It will show up on next quarter's statement of cash flows under the Financing segment.

      I don't know of any other company at their size that has that amount of money in cash with no substantial debt

        I was chatting with my brother about that topic today. At one point many years ago when NTDOY was in the dumps. It was like $11/share for the stock and $8/share was cash. (Pre-split share prices)

        That’s the last time I saw something that resembled this balance sheet, but these are very different companies. And Nintendo didn’t do a secondary offering to raise the cash.

      Why not delete the shares?
