0

For the first time in nearly two years, GameStop registered a quarterly profit. For the quarter that ended Jan. 28, its net sales dropped marginally to $2.23 billion from $2.25 billion in last year’s fourth quarter. However, the company posted a profit of $48.2 million [roughly 16 cents a share] relative to a loss of $147.5 million [roughly 49 cents] a year ago.

Consequently, the video game retailer’s share price started soaring. On Wednesday, March 22, it glided up by 35.24%, closing at $23.87. In fact, even during the pre-market hours on Thursday, March 23, a bullish extension was in its formative stage. The stock was up by around 0.6% and it was priced at $24.01 at press time.

As a result, GameStop has been the talk of the town. According to the social intelligence platform LunarCrush, GameStop “has been on fire” this week. It managed to register the second-highest social activity across all stocks. Moreover, GameStop’s social engagements per hour inclined up to 18.93 million. Parallelly, it had around 2.45k mentions per hour.

It is also interesting to note that Shiba Inu also continues to be a buzzing topic. As reported a day back, the number of SHIB social contributors measured recently surpassed 47.88K, reaching a new quarterly high. Dogecoin’s social state, on the other hand, continues to be underwhelming. Over the past week, its mentions, engagements, dominance, and contributors have all dropped by 13%-18% each.

The meme-asset YTD picture

Thanks to the latest surge, GameStop’s year-to-date returns stand at around 38.7%. Meme coin investors, on the other hand, have fetched comparatively lesser returns. The first month of this year was quite eventful for the crypto market. However, the bullish momentum de-escalated right after and dragged the market into its correction phase.

At press time, SHIB investors’ portfolio was up by ~33.7% on the YTD timeframe. Dogecoin’s numbers, however, were quite malnourished and stood at ~8.6% at press time. So, for now, the baton remains with the OG-meme asset, GameStop.
