GameStop Shares Surge on Completion of Equity Offering Program

Published May 28, 2024

GameStop Corp. saw its shares experience a notable increase in today's pre-market trading. The surge came following the video game retailer's announcement that it has wrapped up its equity offering program, which had been made public earlier. By successfully completing the offering, GameNow was able to offload 45 million shares, which culminated in impressive gross proceeds of approximately $933.4 million.

Rapid Growth in Pre-Market

GameStop's stock made a significant jump, showing an upswing of 17.6% to $22.35 during the pre-market trading session. This considerable growth was driven by the completion of the at-the-market equity offering and boosted investor confidence in the company’s financial strategies and market position.

Other Pre-Market Movers

Alongside GameStop, several other stocks showed movement in the pre-market trading sphere. Notable gainers included Sharps Technology, Inc., Calliditas Therapeutics AB, and Yoshitsu Co., Ltd, with dramatic pre-market upswings in their share prices. On the flip side, companies like Marpai, Inc., Innovative Eyewear, Inc., and OneMedNet Corporation were among those that experienced declines ahead of the opening bell.
