Based on the work of Edson Gould, we have determined the downside targets for GameStop Corp. (GME) covering data from the last two years. To arrive at conclusions that are reasonable, we first must determine precedent for the potential declines.
2002-2012
In the period from 2002-2007, GameStop Corp. increased to a high of $63.30 which established the following downside targets:
-
$28.28 (conservative target)
-
$24.69 (mid-range target)
-
$21.10 (extreme target)
The actual low was $15.73 in 2012.
2012-2020
In the period from 2012-2020, GameStop Corp. increased to a high of $57.43 which established the following downside targets:
-
$41.81 (conservative target)
-
$30.50 (mid-range target)
-
$19.20 (extreme target)
The actual low was $2.80 in 2020.
2020-2021
In the period from 2020-2021, GameStop Corp. increased to a high of $39.91 which established the following downside targets:
-
$21.26 (conservative target)
-
$18.22 (mid-range target)
-
$15.17 (extreme target)
If GameStop were to replicate the rise of 2002-2007, the price could easily achieve a level of $47.40 before a significant decline ensues. However, achieving such a high price would still relegate the stock to the conservative downside target of $21.26.
The only action we take on downside targets is re-examination of the company fundamentals with an eye for acquiring a long position in the company in question. We do not attempt to short the stock in any form.
