GameStop Earnings Preview: Bitcoin Bets, Insider Buying, and the Volatility Playbook
GME has invested $500 million in Bitcoin (BTCUSD) buys
There's been heavy insider buying from CEO Ryan Cohen
The stock dropped 15% from its 52-week high, but has recovered 26% in 3 months
Let's break down what traders need to know heading into this critical report — and how to use Barchart's tools to trade it.
GameStop Earnings Are June 10
Mark your calendar: GameStop reports after the bell on Tuesday, June 10.
The only analyst that covers GameStop has a 'Strong Sell' rating on the stock with a price target of $13.50, which translates to potential downside of more than 50% from current levels.
With a recent 28% YoY revenue decline, the stock's fundamentals are still shaky — but that hasn't stopped the dedicated legion of GME bulls.
Insiders Are Buying the Dip
CEO Ryan Cohen and other insiders bought over $10 million worth of stock in April.
That's a serious vote of confidence — and a key signal for investors watching sentiment shifts.
GameStop Just Bought Bitcoin
GME just added 4,710 BTC to its balance sheet — worth over $500 million.
While big tech firms like Meta (META), Amazon (AMZN), and Microsoft (MSFT) recently rejected similar strategies, GameStop is doubling down on digital assets.
Technicals Show a 'Golden Cross'
GameStop just triggered a bullish trade alert: a Golden Cross — when the 50-day moving average crosses above the 200-day.
This classic technical signal is often seen as confirming a bullish trend reversal, especially when paired with rising volume and renewed interest from insiders and retail investors.

Asian shares are mixed after China-U.S. talks end without a trade deal
Currency traders work near a screen showing the Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI), left, and the foreign exchange rate between U.S. dollar and South Korean won at the foreign exchange dealing room of the Hana Bank headquarters in Seoul, South Korea, Wednesday, July 30, 2025. (AP Photo/Ahn Young-joon) BANGKOK — Shares in Asia were mixed on Wednesday after the U.S. and China ended their latest round of trade talks without a deal. U.S, futures edged higher while oil prices slipped. Beijing's top trade official said China and the United States agreed during two days of talks in Stockholm, Sweden, to work on extending an Aug. 12 deadline for imposing higher tariffs on each other. The U.S. side said an extension was discussed, but not decided on. U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said the American team would head back to Washington and 'talk to the president about whether that's something that he wants to do.' A Friday deadline is looming for many of Trump's proposed tariffs on other countries. Several highly anticipated economic reports are also on the way, including the latest monthly update on the job market. 'Markets had been floating on a cloud of trade optimism — first Japan, then the EU — but the sugar high is wearing off. Now, with U.S.-China talks dragging on in Stockholm, there's a growing sense that the momentum is stalling,' Stephen Innes of SPI Asset Management said in a commentary. Hong Kong's Hang Seng index shed 0.1.2% to 25,213.15, while the Shanghai Composite index gained 0.2% to 3,616.30. Tokyo's Nikkei 225 index fell less than 0.1% to 40,654.70. Gains for electronics companies were offset by losses for major exporters like Toyota Motor Corp. and Honda Motor Co. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 climbed 0.6% to 8,756.40 and in South Korea, the Kospi gained 0.7% to 3,254,47. Taiwan's Taiex rose 1.1%. In India, the Sensex added 0.3%. On Tuesday, U.S. stock indexes edged back from their record levels as a busy week for Wall Street picked up momentum. The S&P 500 fell 0.3% to 6,370.86, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 0.5% to 44,632.99. The Nasdaq composite was down 0.4% at 21,098.29. SoFi Technologies jumped 7.4%, but Merck dropped 2.2% and UPS sank 9.2% following a torrent of profit reports from big U.S. companies. They're among the hundreds of companies telling investors this week how much they made during the spring, including nearly a third of the stocks in the S&P 500 index. UnitedHealth Group dropped 5.8% after reporting a profit for the spring that fell short of analysts' expectations. It also gave a forecast for profit over all of 2025 that investors found disappointing. The health care giant said it expected to earn at least $16 per share, when analysts were looking for something close to $20, according to FactSet. Shares of Novo Nordisk that trade in the United States tumbled 21.3% after the Danish company cut its forecast for sales growth this year, in part because of lower expectations for its Wegovy weight-loss drug amid high competition. Treasury yields sank as the Federal Reserve began a two-day meeting on interest rates. Despite pressure from President Donald Trump for lower rates, which would give the economy a boost, the widespread expectation is that the Fed will wait for more data about how Trump's tariffs are affecting inflation and the economy before making its next move. The U.S. economy appears to be slowing. One report Tuesday said that U.S. employers were advertising fewer job openings at the end of June than a month before, though still more than economists expected. A separate report said confidence rose among U.S. consumers, but a measure of their expectations about the near term remains below the level that typically signals a recession ahead. In other dealings early Wednesday, U.S. benchmark crude oil shed 1 cent to $69.20 per barrel, while Brent crude, the international standard, was up 2 cents at $71.70 per barrel. The dollar fell to 147.90 Japanese yen from 148.48 yen. The euro rose to $1.1559 from $1.1546. Elaine Kurtenbach, The Associated Press

2 Stocks That Turned $1,000 Into $2 Million
Key Points Amazon and Microsoft have turned modest sums into fortunes. Both pioneered consumer-facing industries, selling products and services that millions of people use. There's potential for more growth. 10 stocks we like better than Amazon › The S&P 500 index, arguably the most consistent and proven long-term wealth-building investment mechanism in modern history, averaged a return of 8% per year from 1928 through 2024, which included some big up years and some big down years. If you could get an 8% return every year, you could turn $1,000 into $1 million in about 90 years. Admittedly, that's a long time. They are rare, practically unicorns, but exceptional companies do come along now and then that perform the feat of turning $1,000 into $1 million or more much faster than the broader stock market. Here are two case studies featuring consumer-facing companies that dominated, but didn't stop. Instead, they continued to expand and grow, becoming two of the world's largest companies. While they are too large at this point to replicate their past returns, they remain excellent buy-and-hold candidates for a long-term portfolio and can serve as a blueprint for success for anyone looking for the next big thing. 1. Amazon E-commerce giant Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) started as one of the pioneers of online shopping. Amazon went public in 1997, and $1,000 invested then is worth over $2 million now. Dividends contribute a significant portion of the stock market's historical returns -- but not Amazon's, as the company has never paid a dividend, choosing instead to reinvest its profits in growth and expansion. Today, Amazon is more than the dominant online retailer in the United States. It has built several successful businesses, including its Prime subscription, a digital advertising unit, the Prime Video streaming service, and its cloud computing platform, Amazon Web Services (AWS), which has become the world's leading cloud services company and is also Amazon's primary profit center. AMZN Total Return Price data by YCharts Amazon is now a multitrillion-dollar company by market cap, so its highest-growth years are probably behind it. However, there is still plenty of long-term upside here. E-commerce represents less than one-fifth of total retail spending in the United States. Additionally, cloud computing has a long runway ahead as companies migrate from localized servers to the cloud, and that was before artificial intelligence (AI) emerged as a monster growth opportunity a few years ago. It won't be easy to find another company like Amazon. That said, Amazon's success demonstrates the upside of companies operating in vast addressable markets, where companies can grow for decades. Going beyond that, those companies should have a culture obsessed with innovation, and a curiosity to explore and ultimately pursue new opportunities. Amazon's evolution beyond e-commerce has ultimately shaped it into what it is today. 2. Microsoft Technology giant Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) has an unmatched legacy in the broader technology sector. The company launched its Windows 1.0 operating system software in 1985, setting Microsoft on a path to becoming the global juggernaut it is today. That journey has seen the stock turn a $1,000 investment in 1986 into over $2 million. Windows remains the leading PC operating system, but Microsoft's business has expanded dramatically over the years. The Microsoft tech empire now encompasses Microsoft 365 (including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.), Azure cloud, LinkedIn, Microsoft Teams, Bing, Internet Explorer, Microsoft Dynamics, Xbox, and more. The countless consumers and companies that use its products each day create powerful network effects, making it challenging to dethrone Microsoft. When the company introduces something new, such as its Copilot AI assistant, it already has easy access to all those existing customers. MSFT Total Return Price data by YCharts Few companies can match Microsoft's financial prowess at this point. It's one of just two companies with a better credit rating than the United States government, generates tens of billions of dollars of cash profits each year, and is investing heavily in AI as the next technology frontier that it hopes will fuel the company's growth over the next decade and beyond. Despite all this, Microsoft also pays a dividend that it has increased for 23 consecutive years. Microsoft isn't the best at everything, but it seldom misses out entirely on an opportunity -- whiffing on smartphones was a rare exception. Investors hoping to find a similar success story in the future will want to look for companies that recognize the power of network effects and lean into them as Microsoft has.
