過去幾個月,，大量散戶投資者因購入游戲驛站（GameStop）股票狂賺數(shù)百萬美元,。此刻，游戲驛站希望利用其股價飆升的機會大賺一筆,。
這家視頻游戲零售商周一宣布,，將發(fā)行最多350萬股股票。該公司并未給出具體的股票發(fā)行時間表,，同時指出最終發(fā)行數(shù)目和時間“將由多種因素決定,。”
游戲驛站股價周一開盤報171美元,，雖然仍低于上周五收盤價,，但到上午十時左右已漲至183美元（募集資金約6.405億美元）。不過,，即使該股跌至150美元，仍將帶來5.25億美元的額外收益,。
該公司的庫存現(xiàn)金將增加近一倍,，截至2020年底，其庫存現(xiàn)金為6.35億美元,。
游戲驛站表示,，即使r/WallStreetBets社區(qū)再次推高其股價，其出售的股票也不會超過350萬股,，“總收益不會超過10億美元,。”
游戲驛站為何遲遲沒有利用其股價飆升這一大好形式呢,？投資者和分析師們紛紛表示疑惑,。反觀AMC，當其股價在Reddit交易員關注之下出現(xiàn)反彈時,，這家連鎖影院并未猶豫,，其通過發(fā)行股票募集了3.048億美元。
游戲驛站始終不愿就股價上漲作出說明,，甚至在第四季度財報電話會議上也拒絕回答分析師的提問,，并且在事先準備好的說明中也未提及股價上漲事宜。
該公司表示,，此次股票發(fā)行募集的資金將用于加速推進公司轉型,。Chewy創(chuàng)始人兼游戲驛站董事會成員瑞安?科恩已擔任公司高管，還讓幾位前Chewy員工加入了董事會，并且領導新成立的戰(zhàn)略規(guī)劃監(jiān)督委員會,。
除了在財報電話會議上發(fā)布事先準備好的說明外,，游戲驛站CEO喬治?謝爾曼未作出其他任何說明。迄今為止,，該公司尚未向美國證監(jiān)會提交任何公告,，說明其已出售或計劃出售其持有的任何股票，其持股市值一度高達約10億美元,。（財富中文網(wǎng)）

Plenty of individual investors have made millions of dollars off GameStop in the past few months. Now GameStop is looking to take advantage of its stock’s stratospheric rise.
The video game retailer announced Monday it planned to sell up to 3.5 million shares. It did not give a precise timeline for the sale, noting the final amount and timing “will be determined by a variety of factors.”
GameStop shares opened at $171 on Monday, and while they are still below Friday’s close, they were up to $183 by midmorning (putting the potential cash raise at $640.5 million). Even if the stock falls as low as $150, though, that would bring in $525 million in additional revenue.
That would nearly double the company’s cash on hand, which stood at $635 million at the end of 2020.
Should the r/WallStreetBets community send the stock on another ride to the moon, GameStop said it will not sell more than 3.5 million shares—and “aggregate gross proceeds will not exceed $1 billion.”
Investors and analysts have openly wondered why GameStop has been hesitant to take advantage of its stock surge. AMC did not show the same hesitation when the interest of Reddit traders caused that stock to rally. The movie theater chain raised $304.8 million by selling shares during that period.
GameStop has steadfastly refused to address the rise, even going as far as declining to take analyst questions during its fourth quarter earnings call and not mentioning the stock rise in prepared comments.
The money raised during the stock sale will be used to accelerate the company’s ongoing transformation, the company said. Chewy founder and GameStop board member Ryan Cohen has increasingly been taking a leadership position in the company, bringing several former Chewy employees on board and heading a new committee that’s overseeing strategic planning.
GameStop CEO George Sherman has been quiet, aside from the prepared comments on the earnings call. To date, the company has not filed any notice with the SEC that he has sold or plans to sell any of his stock holdings, which at one point were worth somewhere in the neighborhood of $1 billion.
