Its business failed to significantly improve during the greatest growth of the video gaming industry in a decade, and it’s unlikely going to improve anytime soon. While retail traders managed to squeeze short-sellers earlier this year, GameStop’s stock failed to gain any traction in recent months. We were right when we said that its momentum is fading away, as the stock is down nearly 7% from when our last&nbsp;article&nbsp;on the company was published in late June, while the S&amp;P 500 is up over 5% for the same period. Going forward, we continue to believe that GameStop’s shares will depreciate even more in the foreseeable future.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4696f8a9da1fed768fa7fb834d81999b\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"443\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Chart: Seeking Alpha</span></p>\n<p>Just last week GameStop&nbsp;released&nbsp;its Q2 earnings results. During the period, the company managed to generate only $1.18 billion in revenues, up 25.3% Y/Y, barely beating the estimates by $60 million. The problem is that a 25.3% Y/Y growth is terrible for a company such as GameStop since lots of its stores were shut down during the same period last year due to the pandemic and a minimal amount of revenue was generated. On top of that, the company’s non-GAAP EPS was -$0.76, below the estimates by $0.09, while its net loss stood at $61.6 million.</p>\n<p>The biggest downside of GameStop is that it doesn’t have any unique positioning in the video gaming industry.

The problem is that GameStop doesn’t have any pricing power in the software business, as publishers such as Microsoft (MSFT), Sony (SNE), Ubisoft (OTCPK:UBSFY), Electronic Arts (EA), and others are already ahead of GameStop in online presence. Most of them have their own first-party subscription services that make it more attractive for gamers to use the services directly and play games at a significant discount rather than buy games from GameStop. On top of that, cloud gaming becomes more of a reality with each passing year thanks to the introduction of services such as PlayStation Now and Xbox Cloud Gaming, which let consumers play games without owning them in the first place. As the industry continues to digitize more and more every year, GameStop will continue to lose market share, as its retail stores will continue to drain the cash, while eCommerce efforts are unlikely going to generate meaningful returns anytime soon.</p>\n<p>Another downside of GameStop is that the management has been quiet about how GameStop will transform itself, leaving investors in the dark.

However, other than that, we don’t see any other upside of GameStop and believe that its momentum will continue to fade. It’s already safe to say that the squeeze has run its course, as the stock has a short interest of less than 15%, and there are no catalysts for growth at the current levels. On top of that, the company’s annual revenue is unlikely to return to pre-pandemic levels anytime soon.
