GameStop Surges After Company Completes $933 Mln Share Rally

5月28日GameStop shares (GME) surged 20% on Tuesday after the video game retailer successfully sold 45 million shares worth roughly $933.4 million, capitalizing on a recent meme rally in its share price. The sale helped the company capitalize on a recent social media-fueled meme rally that saw the stock soar around 135% over a two-day period earlier this month. Traders may book profits in GameStop shares around $27, an area on the chart where a May 13 gap sits in close proximity to a key horizontal line connecting a series of price action over the past 19 months.

GameStop (GME) initially announced the share offering on May 17, several days after the peak of the social media-fueled rally, saying it planned to use the proceeds for general corporate purposes, such as investments and acquisitions. Although the company did not disclose the sale price of the shares, it said it executed the offering at-the-market, meaning it sold the shares at the prevailing market price, allowing the retailer to cash in on a portion of the meme-driven gains.

Investors will gain further insight into the company's financial position and outlook when it reports fiscal first-quarter earnings after the closing bell on June 5. GameStop (GME) has given up about 70% of its gains in recent weeks, with the price falling towards a multi-month downtrend line. In upcoming trading sessions, investors should pay close attention to the $27 level, an area on the chart where traders may book profits near a key horizontal line connecting a series of price action over the past 19 months.
