Is it a good time to buy GameStop stock?

The technical analysis gauge below displays real-time ratings for the timeframes you select. However, this is not a recommendation. It represents a technical analysis based on the most popular technical indicators: Moving Averages, Oscillators and Pivots. Finder might not concur and takes no responsibility.

GameStop share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, GameStop's shares have ranged in value from as little as US$17.79 up to US$26.88. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

Beta measures a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market ( average) beta is 1, while GameStop's is 1.714. This would suggest that GameStop's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).

GameStop share dividends

We're not expecting GameStop to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.

Have GameStop's shares ever split?

GameStop's shares were split on a 4:1 basis on 22 July 2022. So if you had owned 1 share the day before the split, the next day you would own 4 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your GameStop shares - just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 75% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for GameStop shares which in turn could have impacted GameStop's share price.

Frequently asked questions

• Is GameStop a good stock to buy right now?

  In 2020, a meme stock-fuelled rally took the GameStop stock to a split-adjusted intraday high of $120.75 per share. In late 2025, it had fallen to around $22 a share, falling in value by approximately 30% in 2025 alone. Whether GameStop is a good buy depends on your investment goals, risk tolerance and whether you think it will rebound or not. The company has been volatile in recent years, with price movements often influenced by retail trading sentiment rather than fundamentals. It’s worth reviewing GameStop’s latest financial reports and analyst outlooks before deciding.

• What is GameStop’s stock ticker symbol?

  GameStop trades on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the ticker symbol “GME.” When buying through an Australian broker with access to US markets, search for GME to find the stock.

• Can I buy GameStop shares in Australia?

  Yes. You can buy GameStop shares in Australia through an online share trading platform that offers access to US markets. You’ll need to create an account, verify your identity and deposit funds - usually in AUD - which will then be converted to USD to complete your trade.

• What fees apply when buying GameStop shares from Australia?

  Some trading platforms that operate in Australia allow fractional investing, meaning you can buy a portion of a GameStop share rather than a full one. This can make it easier to invest smaller amounts in high-priced US stocks.

• What are the market hours for trading GameStop shares?

  GameStop trades on the NYSE, which runs from 9:30am to 4:00pm Eastern Time (US). In Australian time, that’s usually overnight due to the time difference. Some platforms also offer pre-market and after-hours trading access.
