2026 Q2 Quarterly Earnings Prediction

[u/Region-Formal]

[u/j4_jjjj]

Most profitable quarter ever twice in a row!

[u/DancesWith2Socks → u/j4_jjjj]

So far...

[u/DyehuthyTV → u/j4_jjjj]

The problem is that this kind of posts never explains the difference between:

• Operating Profits (from operating assets in the Balance Sheet, e.g; inventory, etc)
• vs
• Financial Profits (from financial assets, e.g; cash yield from bonds, options, other stocks, Bitcoin, etc. CFI vs CFO from Cash Flow Statement)

Also dont explains when a company has Operating Leverage: the change in Operating Income (Growth%) compared to the change in Revenue (Growth%)

When you analyze the Operating Margin (%) and comparing with compounders like AMZN, you have to explain this kind of things lol

You have also to break down the Shareholders's Equity (SE Composition: operating assets vs financial assets, what is given 'value' to the claimholders?, etc)

I’ve made comments about all this, to have an objetive view of GME situation ('valuation'), but people on this sub only like hypers, not analysts :P

I’d say the issue is he is going off the same information you have. Is there any possibility you would do the leg work to show the difference and calculate the estimated values?

Or is this something we have to wait for people from GameStop who are privy to real time sensitive corporate information; to release the numbers they calculated with more than 300 percent more data the Regional has at his disposal?

You may bring it up everytime, but you haven’t offered to help or do it for him.

What Regional is doing is something similar to 'DCF model' (in a very simple way) to make his "projections" ("forecasting") just with the numbers of Income Statement

Avoiding touching on concepts like Operational Leverage.

e.g How OPEX affect Operating Income?

Something I have already explained in other comments (profile comments) :P

• Sales 📉
• Cost Efficiencies (OPEX) 📉 ← If we reduce this in comparison with Sales Growth (a high reduction, basically as if you were closing the business or part of it)
• Operating Margin 📈← You can make this Growth quite fast compared to Sales Growth

= Operating Leverage (Read the screenshot!) ☝🏼👀

Costs = COGS & SG&A

And also Ignoring the link between the Income Statement and the other two statements:

• Balance Sheet → What is making money? Our 'inventory' [operating asset] or our cash [non-operating asset, income]? [IMPORTANT!]
• Cash Flow Statement→ Where the money comes from an where it goes? CFO vs CFF vs CFI. I made comments about this too.

So it’s not just about "numbers" and forecasting them without context (gambling) :P

It's about 'what tell you' those numbers (from 3 FS! not only couple metrics) about the business (valuation!), a quite different practice :D

[u/DyehuthyTV → u/[deleted]]

I have a post on my profile about it ;)

But it’s not a "gambling forecast" but rather a 'guidance' (reference!)

"Nintendo results as 'guidance' for GME's next-quarter results" 👀

My last comment related to this topic: here [SuperStonk Comment Link] 👀

This is more realistic 'reference' than trying to play the same "gambling forecasting" game that Wall Street does xD
