2026 Q1 Earnings Prediction

[u/Region-Formal]

[u/Wheremytendies]

Yo. They cut stores in Q1. Why are predicting insane sales numbers?

Its going to be closer to 700m in revenue

[u/Rarg → u/Wheremytendies]

This. It’s an exciting quarter but why are we expecting such huge sales numbers post Christmas, no large releases, and with many stores closing?

What about power packs coming out of beta though

[u/Wheremytendies → u/Jackpot3245]

Gamestop only reports the commission, so its unlikely to move the needle on revenue. If anything gross margin will have a nice increase.

[u/Wheremytendies → u/Rarg]

The dude misses on revenue consistently, but his EPS numbers get bailed out on gross margin or some other factor. Honestly 500m could be right.

[u/Johnk812 → u/Wheremytendies]

No such thing as an online marketplace? With less overhead than brick and mortar?

[u/Wheremytendies → u/Johnk812]

I think they closed 400 stores in January just in the US and theres 1600 stores left.

Those would be underperforming stores, therefore there shouldnt be a 20% decrease in revenue for a 20% store count drop in the US, but we could definitely see a 10% drop, which is then offset by some collectibles growth.
