GameStop (GME, $134.93) shares dropped on Friday, on its CFO getting fired

GameStop  shares slipped on Friday, after the video game retailer fired its CFO, Michael Recupero, amid reports of wider staffing cuts.  This comes less than 24 hours  of its announcing a four-for-one stock split.

According to a Securities & Exchange Commission filing, GameStop’s chief accounting officer, Diana Saadeh-Jajeh, will replace Recupero. Meanwhile, Axios reported that the company is set to lay off a large but undetermined number of staff.

GameStop is aiming to transition from depending on brick-and-mortar sales to enhancing its online presence. The group’s  revenues for the three months ending in April climbed +8.1% year-over-year to $1.38 billion, with around half of that total generated by its digital channels.

The company reaffirmed it plans to launch a market for NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, related to its video game products, following a partnership earlier this year with Australian blockchain startup ImmutableX. According to GameStop, it booked $76.9 million in digital asset sales from the IMX collaboration.

GameStop is planning a four-for-one stock split, to take effect on July 22.  Shareholders will receive a three-stock dividend for each share owned after the close of trading on July 21.

If Hedge Funds are Using AI to Invest, Why Shouldn’t You?

The AI revolution is so big that as it stands today, the world’s five biggest hedge funds all use systems-based approaches to trade financial markets.Indeed, quantitative trading hedge funds now manage $918 billion (according to HFR), which amounts to 30% of the $3 trillion hedge fund industry – a percentage continues to grow with each year that passes.

What's the Difference Between Tokens and Altcoins?

Between their inherently technical nature, multiple varieties and sub-varieties, and endless terminology, cryptocurrency (defined here as digital or virtual currencies that are encrypted using cryptography, powered by the immutable digital ledger known as the blockchain) represents a whole, complex world.All altcoins possess their own blockchain, independent from their source code, that records all transactions of their native coins. Many altcoins are variants, or forks, of Bitcoin that leverage that cryptocurrency’s open-source protocol as the basis.

Why it Pays to Invest in Dividend Stocks Over the Long Term

Why it Pays to Invest in Dividend Stocks Over the Long Term

Where smaller, more volatile companies can placate shareholders with higher returns, larger companies often use dividend payouts to entice new investors and hold their existing ones. These low-risk options may not work for every investment approach, but dividend-producing stocks can offer great benefits under the right circumstances – especially for portfolios built for the long-term.Beyond the ability to rely on these semi-regular payouts as an income stream – a strategy favored by retirees – dividends are an excellent vehicle for compounding earnings through reinvestment.
