Loop Capital analyst Anthony Chukumba kept his Hold rating and $14 price target on GameStop after its Q2 results, saying revenues were below his expectations and comps decline of 0.5% was worse than his expected flat print. The analyst also points to an operating margin decline of 90bps , adding that sales of software, digital, tech brands, and pre-owned merchandise all fell. Chukumba states that he was particularly concerned with continued sales weakness in new video game software and pre-owned and value products, and speculation around private equity interest may eventually become "moot".
