GameStop Just Delivered a Historic Quarter. GME Could Be the Most Undervalued Meme Stock to Buy.

Meme stocks have been relatively quiet in 2026. The wild Reddit-fueled rallies of 2021 feel like ancient history. But GameStop (GME) never fully faded away.

The big news hit this week when GameStop delivered a quarter for the ages. Net income came in at $389.6 million. Operating income hit $143.3 million. Both were all-time records.
