GameStop Corp. (GME)

CAPS Rating:
****

The Company is a retailer of video game products and PC entertainment software.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other players to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

They try to force you into preorders, gouge you on used games, and talk you into guides when it takes 12 seconds to find a walkthrough online. Not good business for the long term when it's just as easy to get most games at Best Buy, Target, Wal-Mart, etc...

The video game business is continuing to grow quickly. Gamestop benefits, regardless of what platform is popular. The negative is possible saturation; they have over 5000 stores already, so how many more can they add?

Gamestop in the past year or two has become the powerhouse of software in the market. Back in the day, it was one of the cheapest stocks, almost worthless. With the release of newer and more exciting hardwares, people have been flocking to this place like animals on Noah's Ark to get new games, systems and accessories. This is one of the safest stocks out there and it is definately worth the investment. People will always want new and shinier toys, be them hardware or software. Gamestop can provide both which makes it an amazing selection.

While Gamestop seems a bit overvalued with a P/E twice that of the Industry average, it is still growing. Every quarter it continues to outperform, this year alone it been SPY by over 60%.

With the gaming generation growing up, GME can expect to see increased revenue as those teen gamers become college gamers then adult gamers, and so on. This is a company that has it's hold on our youth. Video games for this generation will be what Cable was for the baby boomers.
