In 2023, the company made almost $50 million in interest income, helping it turn a small profit of $6.5 million.
The daily Price chart shows that GameStop's stock price has soared due to a falling wedge pattern, which is one of the best-known reversal signs. Traders need to be cautious of a trend reversal as Gamestop stock (GME) has a Relative Strength Index (RSI) of 75.89 which is in the overbought region.
