For the fourth quarter which ended on February 3, 2024, GameStop reported sales of $1.79 billion against expectations of $2 billion and down from $2.23 billion in the year-ago quarter.
Earnings per share (EPS) improved from $0.16 in the year-ago quarter to $0.21, missing estimates of $0.25.
The company’s full-year results also disappointed, with revenue of $5.27 billion below expectations of $5.48 billion.
EPS of $0.02 missed estimates of $0.08, although marked an improvement over a loss per share of $1.03 for the previous fiscal year.
GameStop management did not provide any commentary on the results and, as previously announced, will not be holding a conference call.
