Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

GameStop has the best model for buying/selling used games. I think that even in hard times, people will still buy video games; they're a pretty good value, seeing as how you can buy one game for a relatively inexpensive price (especially a used games) and get tons of hours of entertainment out of i...More

For the very short term I don't see many issues with earnings or profitability with GameStop.
However, the bread and butter of the store level profitability lives and dies with their ability to maintain very high margins on their pre-owned games and consoles (Games are bought at a range between 3-2...More

Given that the company continues to perform and execute, estimated earnings growth remain strong the company seems to be under valued based on their PE and PEG. The company is facing more competition from Best Buy and Amazon in the used game market while game manufacturers work on new ways to distribute product. I feel that their is upside $30 to $36 in the next 12 months based on a PE of 12 to 15 and EPS of roughly $2.40 a share.

I have a 5 year time frame on this stock. This company will declare bankruptcy or be a stock under 5 dollars in 5 years time. Or it might be bought out by a bigger company like Amazon, Walmart, or Best Buy when its under 10 dollars.

I know this will not be a popular pick for now, but in a few years you'll know where I am coming from. I think Sony, PS3, and Nintendo are sick and tired of Gamestop reselling their games. So what will they do about it? Their going to put them as downloads on their next generation consoles. They are trying it now with their current generation and it will just literally tear Gamestop apart.

Gamestop stores are cluttered and some of the stores feel like your living in the 1970's. Their staff is full of teenagers that couldnt give a crap about the customers. Last time I saw teenagers running an entire company was a little electronic store called Circuit City.

People dont go to Gamestop to buy new games, they go to buy used games. Once Best Buy and Amazon start doing it, its church for Gamestop. And those companies have better relationships with game companies. You never know if they'll work hand in hand and put Gamestop in the cold.

Finally, I think Gamestop stand alone stores will be the downfall. No one wants to get out of their car and go to a place just to look for games. They want to get out and browse games, cameras, music, dvds, etc. Just like Walmart and their grocery stores, we as consumers want a one stop shop for everything. I think the stores inside the mall last for awhile...but once Gamestop gets in trouble finacally in the next few years, the stand alone stores will be the first to go. Plus, too much murder and crime with those stand alone stores. It seems every week someone is dying in a Gamestop store.

Super low current and forward p/e. Beaten down by the economy and Amazon news but will survive.

With Walmart and BestBuy getting into the used video game market, I can't see GameStop expanding anytime soon.
