GameStop Announces Second Quarter 2026 Preliminary Results
Grapevine, TX — GameStop Corp. announced certain preliminary unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended August 1, 2026.
On a preliminary basis for the 13 weeks ended August 1, 2026 compared to the 13 weeks ended August 2, 2025:
- Net sales are expected to be in the range of $780 million to $800 million compared to $972.2 million in the prior year’s second quarter. The decrease primarily reflects the prior-year launch of Nintendo Switch 2, planned store closures, and the divestiture of the Company’s France operations.

- Net income is expected to be in the range of $290 million to $310 million, compared to net income of $168.6 million in the prior year’s second quarter.
- Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities are expected to be in the range of $5.050 billion to $5.070 billion, compared to $8.694 billion at the close of the prior year’s second quarter.
- During the quarter, the Company converted its previously disclosed derivative position related to eBay Inc. into a direct equity investment, resulting in a decrease in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities. The Company’s net income for the quarter includes approximately $238 million of net gains related to its eBay Inc. derivative asset and equity investment, partially offset by a loss of approximately $75 million on digital assets and related receivables. As of August 1, 2026, the Company held approximately 43.4 million shares of eBay common stock with a fair value of approximately $4.947 billion. The Company expects to release its complete second quarter results on September 8, 2026.
