Why I Believe GameStops's Intrinsic Value Is $0

GameStop (GME) reported 4Q21 earnings Thursday after the close. The holiday quarter is their strongest but it was not a good one. Revenue was up only 6% year over year and they lost $1.86/share. For the full year, GME lost $331 million and free cash flow was -$496 million. Due to timely share sales during the meme stock frenzy, GME has $1,271 million in cash on its balance sheet so it is not in immediate danger of going bankrupt.
However, the emphasis is on “immediate”. GME is bleeding money every day and its intrinsic value is $0. Shares are currently -8% in the after-hours.

While you make a very good case for the problems $GME faces, saying its stock is worth $0 is just unfair.
