GME

GameStop Corp. (NYSE:GME) shares surged in premarket trading on Wednesday after a significant rally the previous day, closing up 13.27% at $13.49. The momentum continued with an 11.56% increase to $15.05 in premarket trading. The rise is partly attributed to strong Cyber Monday sales, which is favorable for GameStop as a retailer of video games and consumer electronics. Despite a broader downtrend since early 2021 and after Ryan Cohen's appointment as CEO, the stock is showing signs of revival. GameStop is set to report Q3 results on December 5, and there is a noted increase in bullish call options activity.
