The company traces its roots back to 1984, when a small educational software retailer called Babbage’s opened for business in Dallas, Texas. It then acquired Software Etc., was sold to Barnes & Noble, and merged with Funco Inc. In 2000, the business was renamed GameStop. Two years later, the company held an initial public offering on the New York Stock Exchange, and in 2004, GameStop was spun off from Barnes & Noble. A number of further acquisitions followed, including Electronics Boutique Games in 2005, Micromania in 2008, and Geeknet Inc. in 2015.

The company’s financial health has been on a decline for a few years as gaming demand has been shifting from physical game media toward online services that offer downloadable digital versions of games. In fiscal 2015, GameStop reported a net income of $402.8m, which then slid to $353.2m in 2016 and $34.7m in 2017. In fiscal 2018, the business reported a record-breaking net loss of $673m. 

In 2020, the company was forced to temporarily close its bricks-and-mortar stores due to the Covid-19 outbreak. However, the company continued with online and curbside sales, which helped to partially offset the damage brought by the pandemic. 

With Capital.com’s GameStop stock chart you can not only quickly view the current GME share price, but also trace the company’s share value in historic terms.

The GameStop stock value has also been on the slide in recent years as the company has grappled with the steady shift to online purchases of video games. The GME share price, which stood at over $50 in November 2013, fell below $30 in 2016 and under $20 at the end of 2017. By the end of 2018, the shares were trading at just $12.28, right before dipping even lower to close 2019 at $6.

GME stock bottomed out at $2.57 per share in March 2020 during the broader market selloff caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. It then gained an upside momentum, making steady gains and crossing the $15 mark at the end of November 2020. The stock closed 2020 at $18.84 per share.

The share price continued rising in early 2021, reaching an all-time intraday high of $483 on January 28, posting a growth of more than 2,440 per cent year-to-date. The hike was fuelled by retail investors running to buy the GME shares, as well as those in AMC Entertainment (AMC), BlackBerry (BB) and Bed Bath & Beyond (BBBY), spurred by Reddit’s community WallStreetBets that suggested smaller retail investors to team up against the Wall Street short sellers and short squeeze the company’s stock.

However, the rally soon came to an end. Once short interest in the stock returned to the 2010 level, the share price plunged and closed the trading session on February 8 at $60.

Capital.com is one of the best stock trading platforms I’ve used. The UX and UI on both the mobile app and web platform are outstanding, making it incredibly easy to navigate. They’ve built a vibrant community of traders and investors, and their UAE team really stands out for delivering an exceptional trading experience.

Great app! I requested some features to be added, such as analysis tools, and they delivered. Amazing job! The agents are always helpful and reply quickly. It’s not 5 stars because, at times, some less experienced agents may say it’s impossible to fulfill the request or fix the problem while another agent, like Angel, quickly escalated the issue to the necessary team/person/department and resolved it

This is an excellent platform. The stop loss and take profit work very well; however, when the changes are very fast like at the beginning of the session, the stop loss does not work. If this defect is corrected it will be the perfect platform.

Efficiency. When creating the account, it was smooth, efficient from start to finish. Verification of documents also was done the same day, unlike other platforms where you have to wait a day or two.
