- From profit to five straight losses. GameStop earned $0.8 billion in fiscal 2016–2018. Then it lost money every year from fiscal 2019 to 2023: $2.1 billion in all. Fiscal 2024 was its first profit in six years: $0 billion.
- It wasn't the cycle. The losses began in fiscal 2019 (mostly calendar 2018), a year the US economy grew 3.0%. When a company falls while its economy grows, look inside the company first.
- Left behind by its peers. From 2016 to 2025, its revenue shrank 54% in US dollars; the median among 117 large retailers grew 63%. It outgrew only 1% of them.
- Still smaller than it was. Revenue reached $3.6 billion in fiscal 2026, 61% below its fiscal 2016 peak of $9.4 billion.
- Leaders came and went. GameStop filed 41 leadership changes since 2016, more than 93% of large retailers (the median is 21). The day after each, its shares fell a median 0.5 points against its sector.
