How to buy shares in GameStop

  1. Compare share trading platforms. To buy shares in a company listed in the USA from Australia you'll need to find a trading platform that offers access to USA stock markets. Look for a platform with low brokerage and foreign exchange fees.
  2. Open and fund your brokerage account. Complete an application with your personal and financial details, which will typically include your ID and tax file number. Fund your account with a bank transfer, credit card or debit card.
  3. Search for GameStop. Find the share by name or ticker symbol: GME. Research its history to confirm it's an investment that matches your financial goals.
  4. Purchase now or later. Buy today with a market order or use a limit order to delay your purchase until GameStop reaches your desired price. To spread out your risk, look into dollar-cost averaging, which smooths out buying using consistent intervals and amounts.
  5. Decide on how many to buy. At last close price of US$, weigh your budget against a diversified portfolio that can minimise risk through the market's ups and downs. You may be able to buy a fractional share of GameStop, depending on your broker.
  6. Check in on your investment. Congratulations, you own a part of GameStop. Optimise your portfolio by tracking how your stock performs with an eye on the long term. You may be eligible for dividends and shareholder voting rights.

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$19.93 up to US$35.81. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

GME.US volatility(beta: 1.85)Avg. volatility(beta: 1.00)LowHigh

Beta measures a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market ( average) beta is 1, while GameStop's is 1.85. 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 21 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.
