GameStop Corp (NYSE:GME), the former face of meme stocks, is once again headed in the moon’s general direction after posting fiscal fourth-quarter results that outpaced expectations.
The videogame retailer swung to its first quarterly profit in two years, posting earnings of $0.16 per share in the period ended January 28, compared to a loss of $0.49 per share a year earlier and easily beating Street expectations of a $0.13 per share loss.
Revenue was $2.226 billion, down from $2.254 billion but also beating Street expectations of $2.18 billion.
For the full fiscal year, GameStop reported $5.93 billion in sales, down from $6.01 billion in fiscal 2021. However, it did see growth from its collectibles category, which the retailer hopes will deliver long-term growth.
Shares of GameStop rocked 35% higher in after-hours trading to $23.80.
