Gamestop
Retail investors will be aware of Gamestop given the influence the stock had over the course of the pandemic. Once again, the stock is fast gaining attention.
In the last 12 months, the company has massively increased sales to 30% year on year. Also, with Gamestop set to enter the NFT space, its growth is likely to continue – similar to that of companies such as OpenSea.
Despite net sales rising by 6.2% to $1.88 billion, the firm reported a net loss of $147.5 million proving that Gamestop remains a high-risk bet.
Investors need to consider the combination of supply chain issues and the Omicron variant before taking bets on the stock. Gamestop is likely to take a while to rebuild, especially given the company’s loss and worldwide shift towards digital gaming solutions.
Whilst the NFT marketplace grew to $41 billion in 2021 and therefore offers strong opportunities for growth, Gamestop will ultimately have to turn profitable to gain investor confidence.
