GameStop Reports 10 Percent Increase in Net Income

March 24, 2011 -

GameStop is reporting a 10 percent increase in net income for the fourth quarter of 2010, citing robust holiday sales of hardware and accessories such as Kinect. Fourth-quarter net income was $237.8 million, up from $215.9 million in the same period a year ago. Quarterly revenue was up 6 percent to $3.69 billion.

Sales of new game hardware accounted for 21.2 percent of GameStop's overall revenue, up from 20.9 percent in the fourth quarter of the previous year. Hardware contributed 7.2 percent to overall gross profit, compared to 5.5 percent in 2009. Used games accounted for 21.8 percent of total net sales and 44.2 percent of gross profit.

GameStop projects that Q1 revenue will rise 6 - 8 percent, with earnings of around 53 - 55 cents. Analysts predicted around 51 cents a share. The company said that it will continue to invest in its digital business, including services such as in-store game cards for downloadable content as well as its PowerUp Rewards program. It expects to spend $100 million to expand digital initiatives in the current fiscal year.

They most likely will continue to profit even more with all the 3DS sales (not that there isn't a lot of competition though).

Neo_DrKefka: That is correct in an At-Will state you or the employer can part ways at any time. However Florida also has laws on the books about "Wrongful combinations against workers" http://www.flsenate.gov/Laws/Statutes/2012/448.04510/20/2014 - 10:07am

Michael Chandra: By the way, I am not saying Andrew should stop talking about Wii-U. I find it quite nice. :)10/20/2014 - 8:53am
Michael Chandra: 'How dare he ignore my wishes and my advice! I am his boss! I could have ordered him but I should be able to say it's advice rather than ordering him directly!'10/20/2014 - 8:52am
Michael Chandra: If GP goes "EZK, do not talk about X publicly for a week, we're preparing a big article on it" and he still tweets about X, they'd have a legitimate reason to be pissed.10/20/2014 - 8:52am
Michael Chandra: If GP tells Andrew "we'd kinda prefer it if you stopped talking about Wii-U for 1 week" and he'd tweet about it anyway, firing him for it would be idiotic.10/20/2014 - 8:51am
Michael Chandra: Legal right, sure. But that doesn't make it any less pathetic of an excuse.10/20/2014 - 8:50am
ZippyDSMlee: You mean right to fire states.10/20/2014 - 8:50am
james_fudge: some states have "at will" employee laws10/20/2014 - 7:50am
quiknkold: It says in the article that being in florida, you can get fired regardless if its a fireable offence10/20/2014 - 7:19am
Michael Chandra: If your employee respectfully disagrees with your advice, that's not a fireable offense. If they ignore your order, THEN you have the right to be pissed.10/20/2014 - 6:49am
Michael Chandra: I... Don't get one thing. If you do not want your employee to do X, why do you tell them it's advice or a wish? Give them a damn order.10/20/2014 - 6:48am

MechaTama31: I mean, of the groups being bullied here, which of the two would you refer to collectively as "nerds"?10/19/2014 - 11:30pm
MechaTama31: But that's the thing, it doesn't sound to me like he is advocating bullying, it sounds like he is accusing the SJWs of bullying the "nerds", who I can only assume refers to the GGers.10/19/2014 - 11:21pm
