Credit Suisse Analyst Raises
Outlook on Gamestop Inc.
Credit Suisse analyst Gary Balter, who earlier this year raised
alarm about Gamestop Inc. when Amazon Inc's announced a move into
the used game business, is now raising his outlook for Gamestop's
fiscal year ending in January. Balter raised his 2009
earnings per share estimate from $2.46 to $2.54 and his 2010
estimate from $2.70 to $2.92.
Those estimates are just about in line with consensus estimates
of $2.55 this year and $2.92 in 2010. Balter calls the shares
"attractive," citing valuation and market share growth and says it
is one of the, "better positioned names in its space heading into
the holiday period and into 2010."
Analysts have been increasingly positive on Gamestop following
their earnings report. Last week, Wedbush Morgan analyst
Michael Pachter added Gamestop to his "Best Ideas List."
