Cheng Lawrence Buy

$114,368
@ $22.87
Significance 6/10

Director Cheng Lawrence buys 5,000 GME shares at $22.87; cluster pattern with 2 other insiders in 14 days

Cheng Lawrence, a Director of GameStop Corp., purchased 5,000 shares at $22.87 on 2026-01-23, increasing his holdings from 83,000 to 88,000 shares. This buy occurs in a cluster pattern, with 2 other insiders also purchasing within the past 14 days, suggesting coordinated confidence at this price level. Lawrence's prior trades at GME show a strong timing pattern: 4 of his 5 previous buys at this ticker yielded positive 90-day returns, with particularly strong outcomes in April 2024 (90d returns of +115.3% to +115.7%), indicating he has historically entered at favorable points in GME's price cycle. The current market context presents mixed signals—the stock trades at $24.01, up 13.8% over 30 days but down 31.4% from its 52-week high of $35.01, and the company faces fundamental headwinds with annual revenue declining 27.5% year-over-year despite a recent quarterly net income of $77.1M.

Cohen Ryan Buy
President, CEO and Chairman
1,000,000 shares
$21,359,200
@ $21.36
Significance 7/10

Cohen Ryan purchases 1,000,000 shares (1.00M) for $21,359,200.00 in two tranches at GME; holdings rise to 38.35M shares (+2.7%).

President, CEO and Chairman Cohen Ryan executed 2 separate purchases totaling 1,000,000 shares across January 20–21, 2026, at blended average price $21.36. The current price of $23.14 reflects a 30-day gain of +8.2%, while the transaction occurred at 33.9% below the 52-week high of $35.01. His prior transaction at GME on 2025-04-03 achieved a +11.1% 90-day return, establishing a track record of favorable post-trade price movement at this ticker. The purchase size of 1,000,000 shares represents a material addition to his post-transaction holdings of 38.35M shares, but occurs in a context of deteriorating fundamentals: annual revenue has declined -27.5% year-over-year despite positive quarterly net income of $77.1M and current P/E of 24.62. This large-scale open-market accumulation by the company's top executive at discounted levels—below recent highs but after significant prior losses—merits scrutiny of both the timing rationale and the gap between insider trading activity and underlying business trajectory.

Attal Alain Buy
12,000 shares
$259,577
@ $21.63
Significance 4/10

GameStop Director Attal buys 12,000 shares at $21.63; holds 596.5K post-transaction with stock down 38.0% from 52-week high.

Attal Alain, a director of GameStop, purchased 12,000 shares at $21.63 on 2026-01-21, expanding his holdings from 584.5K to 596.5K shares. The acquisition occurs while GME trades at $21.69, near its 52-week low relative to the $35.01 peak (-38.0% from high), and reflects his second buy in two consecutive trading days. However, his historical record at this ticker shows weak timing: of 2 prior measurable GME purchases (2025-04-10 and 2023-09-08), neither achieved positive 90-day returns, with outcomes of +7.0% and -15.2% at 30 days, and -9.9% and -8.0% at 90 days respectively. His cross-ticker track record across 3 prior buys also reveals a 0.00% 90-day win rate with average 90-day returns of -9.0%, indicating a pattern of unfavorable timing on his buy decisions. The company itself faces headwinds: annual revenue declined 27.5% year-over-year, though current net income of $77.1M against quarterly revenue of $821.0M suggests the business remains profitable at present valuation.

@ $20.90
Significance 4/10

Director Attal Alain buys 12,000 GME shares at $20.90; stock down 39.7% from 52-week high, prior buys showed 0% 90-day win rate.

Attal Alain, a director at GameStop, purchased 12,000 shares at $20.90 on 2026-01-20, increasing his holdings from 572,464 to 584,464 shares. The purchase occurs with GameStop trading down 39.7% from its 52-week high of $35.01, and the stock has declined 6.3% over the prior 30 days. Notably, across Attal's two prior GME purchases at this ticker, both generated negative 90-day returns: his April 2025 buy returned -9.9% over 90 days, and his September 2023 buy returned -8.0% over the same period, yielding a 0% win rate on his GME-specific timing. His broader cross-ticker track record shows similarly weak outcomes, with an average 90-day return of -9.0% across 2 prior buys and zero 90-day winners. Current fundamentals show annual revenue decline of -27.5% year-over-year, though the company posted a net income of $77,100,000.00 in the latest quarter.

Grube James Buy

@ $23.71
Significance 5/10

Director Grube buys 5,575 GME shares at $23.71 amid -27.5% annual revenue decline and 50.38 P/E

Director James Grube purchased 5,575 shares of GameStop at $23.71 on 2025-06-30, increasing his holdings from 23,864 shares to 29,439 shares. The purchase occurs in an environment marked by significant operational headwinds: annual revenue growth stands at -27.5%, net income is $44,800,000.00 on quarterly revenue of $732,400,000.00, and the stock trades at a P/E of 50.38 with a 52-week high of $35.01—the current price of $23.68 represents a -32.4% decline from that peak. Grube's addition of approximately 23.4% to his shareholding shows increased personal capital commitment despite deteriorating fundamentals and recent price weakness, providing a concrete data point on insider positioning at this juncture.

@ $25.75
Significance 4/10

GameStop Director Attal buys 10,000 shares at $25.75; 1.8% stake increase amid cluster activity

Director Attal Alain purchased 10,000 shares of GME at $25.75 on 2025-04-10, increasing holdings from 562,464 to 572,464 shares (+1.8% of prior holdings). The stock currently trades at $25.02, down -48.7% from its 52-week high of $48.75, though it has gained +10.7% over the past 30 days. However, Attal's cross-ticker track record shows limited predictive value: prior open-market buys averaged -15.2% returns within 30 days and -8.0% within 90 days, with a 0.00% win rate over the 90-day window. His prior GME buy in September 2023 similarly declined -15.2% (30-day) and -8.0% (90-day). The purchase occurs within a cluster pattern—2 other insiders bought GME within the past 14 days—which may suggest coordinated interest but does not alter the pattern of poor timing outcomes on prior trades. Fundamentals remain challenged: revenue contracted -27.5% year-over-year, and the stock carries a P/E of 75.82 despite annual net income of $17.4M on $860.3M revenue.

Cheng Lawrence Buy

@ $21.54
Significance 6/10

GameStop director Cheng Lawrence bought 5,000 shares at $21.54, a 6.4% increase in his 83.0K total holdings, in line with his pattern of GME purchases.

Cheng Lawrence, a GameStop director, purchased 5,000 shares at $21.54 on 2025-04-03, increasing his stake by 6.4% to 83,000 shares total. His prior trades at GME show a 4 of 5 pattern of well-timed buys at the 90-day mark—including three consecutive purchases on 2024-04-08 that each yielded 90-day returns of +115.3% to +115.7%—though his most recent GME buy on 2024-07-08 declined 13.9% over 90 days. The stock is currently trading at $24.29, down 50.2% from its 52-week high of $48.75 and trading at a high P/E of 73.61 despite annual revenue declining 27.5% year-over-year. This buy occurs in a structurally challenged environment—GameStop reported $860.3M in quarterly revenue with only $17.4M in net income—yet the insider's historical execution at this ticker suggests selective timing discipline.

Cohen Ryan Buy
President, CEO and Chairman
500,000 shares
$10,775,000
@ $21.55
Significance 7/10

CEO Cohen Ryan purchased 500,000 GME shares at $21.55 on 2025-04-03, raising stake to 37,347,842 shares ($10.8M outlay).

Cohen Ryan, as President, CEO and Chairman, deployed $10,775,000.00 to acquire 500,000 shares at $21.55 per share, expanding his holding to 37,347,842 shares. This open-market purchase occurred when the stock trades at $24.29 (current) but remains -50.2% from its 52-week high of $48.75 and down -27.2% over the past 90 days. The company faces material headwinds: annual revenue declined -27.5% year-over-year to $860,300,000.00 (latest quarter), and the valuation is elevated at P/E 73.61 despite a market cap of $10,859,669,898.49. The scale of the purchase (relative to his existing 36,847,842 shares) represents a significant capital commitment by the controlling shareholder during a period of revenue contraction and elevated multiples, warranting detailed examination of the company's strategic positioning and forward guidance.

Cheng Lawrence Buy
4,140 shares
$102,879
@ $24.85
Significance 7/10

GME Director Lawrence Cheng buys 4,140 shares at $24.85 on 2024-07-08, extending strong timing pattern at ticker: 4 of 5 prior GME purchases showed positive 90d returns.

Director Cheng Lawrence purchased 4,140 shares of GameStop at $24.85 on 2024-07-08, increasing holdings by 6.4% to 69,228 shares. His prior trade history at GME is notably predictive: four of his five previous purchases at this ticker delivered positive 90-day returns, including three consecutive April 2024 buys that each returned +115.3% to +115.7% over 90 days. The current transaction occurs as the stock trades at $24.60, down 49.5% from the 52-week high of $48.75, after a 12.8% drop over 30 days but a +126.7% surge over 90 days. His cross-ticker track record shows 6 prior buys with a 66.67% 90-day win rate and +73.8% average 90-day return, further establishing a pattern of well-timed purchases. Investors should note the alignment between this buy and his demonstrated ability to identify inflection points at GameStop specifically, as well as the fundamental headwinds: revenue of $881,800,000.00 declining 11.0% annually, net income of $-32,300,000.00, and a P/E ratio of 1230.00.
