George Sherman, CEO of GameStop, said this about the GME stock earnings report:
“As we begin fiscal 2020, we remain focused on our key priorities, yet recognize that we continue to face the temporary headwind of lower current generation console hardware and software sales as consumers delay purchases in anticipation of new platform launches expected later in the year. “
The GameStop earnings report doesn’t include its outlook for fiscal 2020. This is due to the ongoing effects of the coronavirus from China.
GME stock was up 13.38% after markets closed Thursday.
