more than 17% of outstanding shares are sold short.\nCould this stock split be the catalyst for another short squeeze? Here is what you need to know.\n\nWhat does GameStop's split mean?\nIn short, stock splits don't change anything about a stock's fundamentals, but there are still reasons why companies do them.\nImagine you and three friends cut a pizza into four large slices, each person getting one piece. Then, four other friends come over and want pizza but there's not enough for everyone. So, you and your three friends cut their slices in half to make eight smaller slices, enough to share with everyone.\n\n\n\nDid the actual size of the pizza get larger? No, but each slice got smaller, so more people could have some. This is essentially how a stock split works. GameStop's four-for-one split means each share got \"cut\" into four smaller shares. So if you had 100 shares before, you'd have 400 after the split, but they will still add up to the same value as the original 100 stubs.\nCompanies use stock splits to make their stock more affordable for retail investors, making the stock more liquid in the process. A stock with a higher number of cheaper shares is easier to buy and sell on the market.\nAlways refer to the fundamentals\nMost importantly, stock splits have nothing to do with a company's financials, so they shouldn't affect your decision to buy or sell a stock. It would be best to look at a company's financial data to see how the business is doing.\nGameStop was a revelation last year; a historic short squeeze caused the stock to soar. But even though the stock's well off its highs, you can see below how its enterprise value, the sum of its market cap and debt minus its cash, is still far above its long-term norms, despite revenue declining 25%.\n\n\n\n\nGME Enterprise Value data by YCharts\nMeanwhile, free cash flow and net income are tremendously negative and trending in the wrong direction:\n\nGME Free Cash Flow data by YCharts\nIn other words, the stock remains more expensive now than it used to be, despite the actual performance of the business getting notably worse over time.\n\n\n\nIs GameStop a buy today?\nGameStop is one of the poster children of the short squeeze craze, which makes the stock especially volatile. It's certainly possible that investors could see a short-term bump because of the stock split.\nHowever, fundamentals tend to rule the roost over time, and GameStop's financials don't paint an attractive picture. If you're going to test the waters, use a diversified portfolio and know that GameStop is a very speculative stock to own.\nFor long-term investors, it's hard to see a solid case for owning GameStop shares until the business can establish and sustain some positive trends in its financials. There are better places to put your money in a bear market that's taking everything to the woodshed.","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":9900425137,"gmtCreate":1658755566129,"gmtModify":1676536202267,"author":{"id":"3572968392598415","authorId":"3572968392598415","name":"PaulMardling","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0919d3658912343433bf81007b1c4f11","vip":1,"crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3572968392598415","authorIdStr":"3572968392598415"},"htmlText":"So then buy and DRS more then... ok","listText":"So then buy and DRS more then... ok","text":"So then buy and DRS more then... ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9900425137","repostId":2253217880,"repostType":2,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":9900297877,"gmtCreate":1658712585299,"gmtModify":1676536195772,"author":{"id":"3572242811173585","authorId":"3572242811173585","name":"jayjong","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3572242811173585","authorIdStr":"3572242811173585"},"htmlText":"Thanks for the fud","listText":"Thanks for the fud","text":"Thanks for the fud","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9900297877","repostId":2253217880,"repostType":2,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"}],"hasMoreComments":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false}}
