Why GameStop Shares Are Trading Lower By Over 22%? Here Are Other Stocks Moving In Friday's Mid-Day Session

The May labor market report delivered hotter-than-expected numbers in terms of job <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/06/39225961/job-market-booms-in-may-payrolls-surge-more-than-expected-wages-increase">gains and wage growth.</a>
Last month, U.S. employers added 272,000 nonfarm payrolls, a sharp increase from April&#8217;s 165,000 and well above the expected 180,000.
Average hourly earnings witnessed a 4.1% year-on-year surge, up from an upwardly revised 4% in April, and above the expected 3.9%. On a monthly basis, earnings advanced at a 0.4% pace, accelerating from the previous 0.2%, and above the predicted 0.3%.
Overall, it was a hot jobs report on almost all fronts, except for a slight uptick in the unemployment rate from 3.9% to 4%.
The market interpreted these data as the final nail in the coffin for the already slim chances of a potential rate cut in July. Fed futures now indicate cumulative cuts of less than 50 basis points – less than two 25 basis point cuts – by the end of the year.
A solid and tight labor market indeed reduces the risks of a slowdown, which might have prompted the Fed to be more aggressive in cutting rates. Meanwhile, wage growth increases inflation risks, as demand from U.S. consumers is expected to remain strong.
Wall Street experienced a marginal decline following the report, with all major indices trading slightly in the red by 10:15 a.m. in New York.
<ul>
<li>The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) was 0.1% lower, according to Benzinga Pro data.</li>
<li>The tech-heavy QQQ Invesco Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) also eased 0.1%.</li>
<li>Blue-chip stocks, as tracked by the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIA#NYSE">DIA</a>), inched 0.1% higher.</li>
<li>Small caps, as monitored through the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWM#NYSE">IWM</a>), fell 0.6%.</li>
</ul>
Sector-specific reactions were more bold. Interest-rate sensitive sectors such as real estate and materials underperformed, while financials and health care outperformed.
Here is an overview of the major stock movers – driven primarily by reactions to May&#8217;s jobs report, rather than earnings reports.

What Happened: According to a Form 4 filing with the <a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/0000849399/000119380524000671//Archives/edgar/data/849399/000119380524000671/0001193805-24-000671-index.htm">U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission</a> on Friday, Feld sold 1,092,300 shares of Gen Digital. The total transaction value is $26,846,361.
As of Friday morning, Gen Digital shares are down by 1.1%, currently priced at $25.13.
<h3>Delving into Gen Digital's Background</h3>
Gen is a cybersecurity pure-play that offers security, identity protection, and privacy solutions to individual consumers. The firm's cyber safety offerings, via brands such as Norton, Avast, and LifeLock, have long maintained their positions as some of the most recognizable consumer-focused security and identity-protection products.
<h3>Gen Digital's Financial Performance</h3>
Revenue Growth: Over the 3 months period, Gen Digital showcased positive performance, achieving a revenue growth rate of 1.68% as of 31 March, 2024. This reflects a substantial increase in the company's top-line earnings. When compared to others in the Information Technology sector, the company faces challenges, achieving a growth rate lower than the average among peers.
Navigating Financial Profits:
<ul>
<li>
Gross Margin: Achieving a high gross margin of 80.35%, the company performs well in terms of cost management and profitability within its sector.
</li>
<li>
Earnings per Share (EPS): Gen Digital's EPS lags behind the industry average, indicating concerns and potential challenges with a current EPS of 0.21.
</li>
</ul>
Debt Management: Gen Digital's debt-to-equity ratio is notably higher than the industry average. With a ratio of 3.92, the company relies more heavily on borrowed funds, indicating a higher level of financial risk.
Evaluating Valuation:
<ul>
<li>
Price to Earnings (P/E) Ratio: With a lower-than-average P/E ratio of 26.47, the stock indicates an attractive valuation, potentially presenting a buying opportunity.
</li>
<li>
Price to Sales (P/S) Ratio: The current P/S ratio of 4.28 is below industry norms, suggesting potential undervaluation and presenting an investment opportunity for those considering sales performance.
</li>
<li>
EV/EBITDA Analysis (Enterprise Value to its Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation &amp; Amortization): With a below-average EV/EBITDA ratio of 14.71, Gen Digital presents an opportunity for value investors. This lower valuation may attract investors seeking undervalued opportunities.
</li>
</ul>
Market Capitalization Analysis: Below industry benchmarks, the company's market capitalization reflects a smaller scale relative to peers. This could be attributed to factors such as growth expectations or operational capacity.

<h3>The Importance of Insider Transactions</h3>
Considering insider transactions is valuable, but it's crucial to evaluate them in conjunction with other investment factors.
In legal terms, an "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner of more than ten percent of a company's equity securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This can include executives in the c-suite and large hedge funds. These insiders are required to let the public know of their transactions via a Form 4 filing, which must be filed within two business days of the transaction.
When a company insider makes a new purchase, that is an indication that they expect the stock to rise.
Insider sells, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean that the seller thinks the stock will go down. 
<h3>Breaking Down the Significance of Transaction Codes</h3>
Digging into the details of stock transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> frequently turn their attention to those taking place in the open market, as outlined in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 indicates a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C signals the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.
