GameStop Stock Pops After Ryan Cohen Teases “Very, Very, Very Big” Consumer Buyout

GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen revealed the company is targeting a “very, very, very big” acquisition of a publicly traded consumer firm, one far larger than GameStop itself. He described the deal as “transformational” during an interview with CNBC. Cohen emphasized he’s after an undervalued company with a “sleepy management team,” though he didn’t drop any names. Shares of GameStop jumped 4.78% on Friday, closing at $23.88, according to Yahoo Finance. Cohen’s remarks arrive as he attempts to reposition GameStop as a Berkshire Hathaway-style holding company, anchored by a massive cash reserve. He told The Wall Street Journal this move could be “genius or totally, totally foolish,” according to Investing.com. The report noted that GameStop holds about $9 billion in cash, and Cohen called Michael Burry “one of the few investors I respect.”

  • Kamigumi (TSE:9364) Unveils ¥15B Buyback After Rough Quarter, P/E Still High
    July 5, 2026, 12:22 AM EDT. Kamigumi (TSE:9364) signed off on a share buyback worth up to ¥15 billion, or 4.25% of shares, following uneven trading. Shares are up 9.42% for the past week but down 5.03% over 90 days. The stock trades at a P/E of 16.5x, above the sector and the estimated fair P/E of 13x. That leaves Kamigumi possibly overvalued. Earnings grew 8.8% a year for five years, though consensus sees them slipping a bit over the next three years. A DCF model now values the stock just 1.9% over its buy price, showing only a small premium. Investors need to weigh if the buyback is enough, given the price and an uncertain outlook for earnings.
