The video game retailer GameStop made waves on the stock market on Thursday when the stock surged following the announcement of a significant change in financial strategy. The stock temporarily increased by 12.8 percent in trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and ultimately closed with a gain of 8.09 percent at $21.51. The upward trend continued in pre-market trading on Friday with a further rise of 1.49 percent to $21.83.

Background of the Price Increase is GameStop's Decision to Terminate a $250 Million Credit Facility Early

The decision to terminate the credit agreement indicates that GameStop is now increasingly relying on its own financial resources and future revenues to meet its financial needs. "The company's main sources of liquidity after the termination will be cash from operational activities and existing cash reserves," according to the official statement.

Since the beginning of the year, GameStop's stock has already recorded a growth of 22.7 percent. The latest development is reminiscent of the turbulent period during the meme stock rally in the context of the WallStreetBets movement, which brought GameStop into the spotlight in 2021.
