However, retail investors have bid up the stock, and shares are more than double their May low of $136.50. Meanwhile, in the first two hours of June 8, the price has risen nearly 17% to a high of $344.66 and then dropped even lower than its starting price.\nMany investors are hoping that a digital transformation will help the company mount a much-needed turnaround — GameStop has a long-term vision of transforming from a brick-and-mortar retail company into a digital enterprise.\nHowever, this is easier said than done.\nAs I have mentionedin prior articles, GameStop was struggling long before the pandemic. The top line is consistently declining over the last five years as it tries to keep up withSony(NYSE:SONY),Microsoft(NASDAQ:MSFT), andAmazon(NASDAQ:AMZN), competitors who are increasingly relying on digital innovation for their future success. Not the case when it comes to GME.\nHence, even though the temptation to join in is there, I will still advise you to stay miles away from this one.\nFlawed Fundamentals\nThrough the end of 2020, GameStop’s sales reportedlydropped more than 30% per quarter, dropping in 10 out of 11 of its previous quarters. In the last decade, the video game retailer has had several years with negative revenue growth. If we take a look at the data from the last 12 quarters, GME has reported a “positive” surprisejust four times. GME had an operating income of $648 million in 2015. Last year, the company was sitting at a $238 million operating loss.\nIn many ways, GME reminds me ofDish Network’s(NASDAQ:DISH) Blockbuster. There was a time when it looked like the home movie provider could do no wrong. However, it has become a cautionary tale of not evolving with the times. In 2004 then CEO of Blockbuster John Antioco understood the need to invest in an online platform. However, he faced stiff opposition from activist investor Carl Icahn who disagreed and removed him. In five years, the company was bankrupt.\nUnderstandably, if GME wants to avoid this future, it must think outside of the box and focus on building its digital platform. The good thing is that when George E. Sherman took the helm as GameStop’s new CEO in April 2019, he had two things in mind: reducing costs on the brick-and-mortar business and expanding the digital platform.\nThe strategy is working. On Jan. 11, the video gamereportedworldwide sales results reflecting a 4.8% increase in comparable-store sales and a 309% increase in e-commerce sales.\nBut the company’s e-commerce setup still does not compare in any way to Amazon or Sony.\nBeginning of the End\nThe biggest question surrounding GME stock is whether it is best to count your blessings and exit. Shares are still up over 80% in a month, so Redditors still like this stock — GME andAMC(NYSE:AMC) have traded spots several times for the most popular choice among members of the platform.\nHowever, you have to ask yourself where GME stock will be in five years. Our very own Chris Markochwrote a great articleaboutDisney(NYSE:DIS). He wrote, “If you had purchased shares of DIS stock on Jan. 7, 2000 and never sold your shares, you are sitting on a share price gain of over 470%. That doesn’t include any dividend gains you may have reinvested over that time.”\nIn the article, he highlights how Disney did not sit on its haunches and has transformed itself into one of the biggest conglomerates in the world.\nAlthough new GME management deserves credit for pivoting the company into a new direction, it will take time to alleviate the issues that ail the video game retailer and move forward with a coherent strategy. Reddit enthusiasm notwithstanding, a lot of work still needs to be done before GME stock is a viable investment again.\nMy Final Word\nFor a long time now, I have been advocating against loading up on GME stock because of the flawed fundamentals. But does that mean that another rally is not around the corner? For sure, one cannot say that considering time and again, Redditors have shown their resilience when it comes to this company.\nIn many ways, GME stock has become iconic because of thesupport it has receivedfrom r/WallStreetBets. I do not expect that to change anytime soon. However, is this a stock that you can buy and keep for the next five years? According to the fundamentals, if you do that, it will be a bad decision.\nOn the date of publication, Faizan Farooquedid not have (either directly or indirectly) any positions in the securities mentioned in this article.The opinions expressed in this article are those of the writer, subject to the InvestorPlace.com Publishing Guidelines.","kind":null,"is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":183522839,"gmtCreate":1623336798621,"gmtModify":1704201277051,"author":{"id":"3569449221525925","authorId":"3569449221525925","name":"Benjee","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","vip":1,"hat":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b0a2963eb37c60c5d6d4a8dbcd266952","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"idStr":"3569449221525925","authorIdStr":"3569449221525925"},"htmlText":"THANKS FOR THE DIP HEDGIES!!","listText":"THANKS FOR THE DIP HEDGIES!!","text":"THANKS FOR THE DIP HEDGIES!!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/183522839","repostId":1184778465,"repostType":2,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":183210421,"gmtCreate":1623332496463,"gmtModify":1704201090005,"author":{"id":"3575009081709881","authorId":"3575009081709881","name":"Gamestonk","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0fca263e180995788f829a20ba7eb602","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3575009081709881","authorIdStr":"3575009081709881"},"htmlText":"Ignore this piece of FUD","listText":"Ignore this piece of FUD","text":"Ignore this piece of FUD","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/183210421","repostId":1184778465,"repostType":2,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":183034566,"gmtCreate":1623293094755,"gmtModify":1704200247398,"author":{"id":"3573023523256265","authorId":"3573023523256265","name":"Toratoratora","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4620e4b1ebb53c254b704a72429a7a3b","vip":1,"crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"idStr":"3573023523256265","authorIdStr":"3573023523256265"},"htmlText":"This hit piece is utter nonsense&nbsp;","listText":"This hit piece is utter nonsense&nbsp;","text":"This hit piece is utter nonsense","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/183034566","repostId":1184778465,"repostType":2,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":189542722,"gmtCreate":1623283304466,"gmtModify":1704199916717,"author":{"id":"3577856128840768","authorId":"3577856128840768","name":"KamenRider","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a2f699db0bfbdac787144690340af5e1","vip":1,"hat":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d30fc324d24ff33075e053005564f0df","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3577856128840768","authorIdStr":"3577856128840768"},"htmlText":"HOW IS THIS A DIP WHEN I CANT AFFORD IT!
