Benzinga examined the prospects for <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">many investors' favorite stocks</a> over the last week — here's a look at some of our top stories.
Escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East — especially the Israel‑Iran conflict — and unexpectedly soft U.S. inflation data produced choppy market action this week. The S&amp;P 500 pulled back from all‑time highs as oil jumped above $70, marking its largest weekly gain in years.
Energy stocks led sector gains amid rising oil, while gold and silver rallied on demand for havens. Oracle (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>) stood out, climbing 20% after strong earnings. The U.S. dollar dipped to a three-year low against major currencies.
Looking ahead, investors are watching the Federal Reserve's upcoming meeting and U.S.–China trade discussions. Any change in rate guidance or geopolitical escalation could significantly sway market sentiment in the near term.
Benzinga provides daily reports on the stocks most popular with investors. Here are a few of this past week's most bullish and bearish posts that are worth another look.

The Bulls

Benzinga Bulls And Bears: Eli Lilly, Okto, McDonalds — And Israel-Iran Conflict Sparks Oil Surge

Video game retailer GameStop Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NYSE">GME</a>) recognizes <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/06/45872536/gamestop-q1-earnings-revenue-misses-despite-collectibles-growth-eps-beats-retailer-adds-4710-bitcoin">its gaming business</a> is under pressure and is turning to Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and trading cards as its next growth segments.
What Happened: At the company&#8217;s annual meeting, GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen highlighted how the first quarter was the company's first profitable Q1 since 2019. Cohen said this came from reducing costs, closing unprofitable stores and "focusing on the core fundamentals of the business," as <a href="https://www.ign.com/articles/gamestop-to-double-down-on-high-margin-potential-trading-cards-pokmon-tgc-and-the-like-a-natural-extension-of-our-existing-business">reported </a>by IGN.
One item quickly becoming a core fundamental is trading cards.

"We are focusing on trading cards as a natural extension of our existing business," Cohen said. "The trading card market – whether it's sports, Pokémon, or collectibles, is aligned with our heritage – it first our trading model, it appeals to our core customer base, and it's deeply embedded in physical retail."
Cohen said trading cards have "high margin potential" and are a "logical expansion."
GameStop recently purchased 4,710 Bitcoin as part of a new treasury reserve strategy, signaling its commitment to holding the cryptocurrency—an area where investors expect further activity.
Shares declined on news of a planned $1.75 billion <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45905997/gamestop-stock-is-facing-selling-pressure-thursday-whats-going-on">private senior note offering</a>, overshadowing a mixed first-quarter report. Revenue came in at $732.4 million, missing the $754.2 million Street estimate. While hardware and software sales declined year-over-year, collectibles revenue rose to $211.5 million.
Despite the revenue miss, GameStop posted a surprise profit. Earnings per share of 17 cents beat expectations of four cents. Operating income hit $27.5 million—up from a $55 million loss a year ago—while adjusted net income surged to $83.1 million, compared to a loss of $36.7 million in the prior year's first quarter.
Why It's Important: GameStop's focus on collectibles has some investors believing the company could be a takeover target.
However, on Friday, trading card grading company PSA told Cllct Media that it had no plans to acquire GameStop.
For those who forgot, Collectors CEO Nat Turner joined GameStop's board of directors <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/24/11/42047265/gamestop-adds-nat-turner-to-board-does-the-move-show-bigger-bet-on-trading-cards-grading">back in November.</a> Collectors is the owner of PSA and previously signed a collaboration with GameStop to be an authorized PSA dealer.
PSA denied a potential acquisition. However, the company&#8217;s growth in trading cards could create value for GameStop and bring in a slight buyout multiple for potential companies in the trading card and collectibles space that could capitalize on the company&#8217;s retail footprint.
Trading cards are also the lone segment that Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter sees as a positive for the company.
"GameStop's foray into the trading card business appears to be the only recent business venture to see modest success," Pachter said in a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst-color/25/06/45888497/bitcoin-probably-wont-fix-gamestops-troubles">recent investor note.</a>
The analyst maintained an Underperform rating on GameStop with a $13.50 price target.
Price Action: GameStop closed at $22.14 for the week compared to a 52-week trading range of $18.73 to $35.81. The stock was down 26% during the week.

GameStop estimates that the net proceeds from the offering will be approximately $2.23 billion (or approximately $2.68 billion if the initial purchaser exercises its option to purchase additional notes in full), after deducting the initial purchaser's discount and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by GameStop.
GameStop intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, including making investments in a manner consistent with GameStop's Investment Policy and potential acquisitions.

As a new GameStop Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NYSE">GME</a>) ETF has made its debut, retail traders and investors have raised alarms about market distortion and potential misuse by institutional players.
What Happened: Platforms such as Reddit and X are abuzz with concerns regarding a new ETF being created to track GameStop, which is set to make its debut on the bourses on Tuesday.
The fund, created by the Bitwise Funds Trust, will trade under the ticker $IGME, and according <a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1928561/000121390025052046/ea0244774-02_497k.htm">to</a> SEC filings, it will not track GameStop through direct share ownership, but rather via derivatives.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45832509/cathie-wood-warned-about-trump-musk-clash-long-before-it-exploded-now-says-the-feud-exposes-just-how-dependent-elons-empire-is-on-the-us-government">Cathie Wood Warned About Trump-Musk Clash Long Before It Exploded — Now Says The Feud Exposes Just How Dependent Elon&#8217;s Empire Is On The US Government</a>
This raises concerns of potential misuse, as it deals with a &#8220;meme&#8221; stock that has been at the center of the infamous tussle between retail traders and Wall Street bigwigs. According to the fund's prospectus, the strategy involves options-based exposure via covered calls, rather than holding GME shares outright.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

No shares involved. &quot;The covered call strategy utilized by the Fund is "synthetic" because the Fund's exposure to the price return of GME… <a href="https://t.co/LqkVr5dEXA">pic.twitter.com/LqkVr5dEXA</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
&#8220;Because such exposure is synthetic, it is possible that the Fund's participation in the price return of GME may not be as precise as if the Fund were directly holding shares,&#8221; Bitwise mentions <a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1928561/000121390025052046/ea0244774-02_497k.htm">in</a> its summary prospectus filed with the SEC. 
Retail traders on social media have questioned whether such ETFs are tools for circumventing share-based accountability, especially as borrow fees for GME spike and failures-to-deliver (FTDs) remain elevated.
&#x2A;Borrow Fees &#8211; This refers to the fee that short-sellers pay when borrowing securities, which they then sell to take a position against a particular stock. The fee for this varies depending on the short interest in a stock, and in the case of GameStop, it is now at 0.3506% <a href="https://companiesmarketcap.com/gamestop/cost-to-borrow/">on</a> Interactive Brokers Group Inc.

&#x2A;Failures-To-Deliver &#8211; This occurs when someone buys or sells a stock, but the actual shares don't show up on time to complete the trade. FTDs commonly occur due to &#8220;naked short-selling,&#8221; a practice in which short-sellers don&#8217;t actually borrow shares before selling them, thus flooding the market with synthetic supply.
This comes just months following the debut of T-Rex 2X Long GME Daily Target ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GMEU#BATS">GMEU</a>), another fund that began with 10,000 shares of Gamestop, before swapping to a derivatives-based approach, likely a Total Return Swap.
Retail traders and investors, however, believe that these instruments are made to serve Wall Street more than Main Street. &#8220;I can't help but wonder if the real reason that this instrument was made was for creation and redemption misuse by Authorized Participants,&#8221; said @sboho on X.

According <a href="https://jacobslevycenter.wharton.upenn.edu/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/ETF-Short-Interest-and-Failures-to-Deliver.pdf">to</a> a paper by Richard B. Evans of the University of Virginia, these concerns by retail investors aren&#8217;t entirely unfounded, since ETFs are responsible for nearly 78% of FTDs in U.S. equities. 
The paper also identifies how Authorized Participants routinely engage in &#8220;operational shorting,&#8221; which refers to intentionally delaying ETF share creation or delivery, which, while used for certain arbitrage strategies, is ripe for misuse. 
Bitwise has responded to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga&#8217;s</a> request for a comment, stating that &#8220;asset managers are prohibited from commenting on prospective ETF launches in the time between filing and launch,&#8221; and hence, they have no comment to add regarding this.
Why It Matters: Several leading analysts and market experts have since echoed similar views, with investment manager James Chanos of Kynikos Associates sarcastically referring to single-stock ETFs, calling their &#8220;high fees and reset risks&#8221; as &#8220;financial innovation at its best.&#8221;

New GameStop ETF IGME Raises Eyebrows Amid Surge In Borrow Fees, Settlement Failures: Are ETFs Being Weaponized Against Retail Traders?

GameStop's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NYSE">GME</a>) stock took a sharp hit on Thursday, falling 22% to $22.12 by midday Eastern Time, following the announcement that it plans to issue $1.75 billion in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst-color/25/06/45888497/bitcoin-probably-wont-fix-gamestops-troubles">convertible senior notes</a>.
What Happened: The notes, which won't carry regular interest, are aimed at "general corporate purposes," <a href="https://news.gamestop.com/news-releases/news-details/2025/GameStop-Announces-Proposed-Private-Offering-of-1-75-Billion-of-Convertible-Senior-Notes/default.aspx">according</a> to the company's blog post.
While GameStop didn't explicitly mention Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) in the announcement, the phrasing referenced potential investments "consistent with its investment policy" language similar to what the company used earlier this year when it updated its policy to allow for crypto assets.
The company previously disclosed in late May that it had acquired 4,710 Bitcoin, though the announcement offered little detail. 
It gave no information on average purchase price or how much cash was deployed, deviating from the transparency typically seen in corporate Bitcoin disclosures. 
That minimal communication has left analysts and investors guessing about the scope and intent of its crypto involvement.
CEO Ryan Cohen has remained tight-lipped on the firm's future Bitcoin plans, stating in a recent interview that GameStop would not follow the playbook of other crypto-invested firms. 
Despite posing for a photo earlier this year with Michael Saylor, the Executive Chairman of Bitcoin-heavy Strategy, Cohen insisted the company is pursuing its own path.
Still, the structure of GameStop's latest fundraising mirrors that of Strategy's well-known approach: raising capital through convertible debt to buy Bitcoin.

What Experts Are Saying: That similarity has drawn comparisons and criticism from observers who believe GameStop may be chasing short-term investor hype rather than addressing deeper operational challenges.
Speaking with Benzinga, Tom Bruni, Vice President of Community at Stocktwits, noted that retail traders remain enthusiastic about Bitcoin, but are losing interest in companies trying to mimic direct exposure. 
"The underperformance of Strategy (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) relative to Bitcoin and the lackluster response to copycats like GameStop raising funds to buy Bitcoin is indicative of that," Bruni said.
He added that Bitcoin ETFs and regulated financial products have given investors cleaner, more transparent routes to crypto exposure. 
"Although these companies can gain short-term fanfare from this financial engineering tactic, once the conversation returns to business fundamentals, much of those gains (and often more) are given back," Bruni explained.
In GameStop's case, the issue may run deeper than market sentiment. 
Bruni argues that the company's continued use of high-profile financial maneuvers, rather than focusing on its declining revenue and stagnating retail operations, reflects a lack of strategic direction under Cohen's leadership. 
"For the company to make its core operations profitable, a clear plan to drive revenue growth is necessary," Bruni said. "Instead, Ryan Cohen and his team are taking the easy way out."
While Stocktwits data shows a rise in ‘bullish' sentiment toward GameStop amid the selloff, Bruni noted that many traders view it as a short-term technical setup rather than renewed confidence in the business model.

12 Consumer Discretionary Stocks Moving In Thursday's Intraday Session

Wall Street traded cautiously on Thursday midday, with major indexes mostly flat while the U.S. dollar slumped to over two-year lows, as investors digested a double dose of soft inflation and a surprise uptick in jobless claims that further bolstered expectations <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/interest-rates">for interest rate cuts.</a>
May's Producer Price Index rose just 0.1% from the prior month, undershooting forecasts of 0.2%, while the annual rate held steady at 2.6%. Core PPI, which excludes food and energy, cooled to 3.0% year-over-year—its lowest since August 2024—and gained only 0.1% on the month, missing the 0.3% projection.
Jobless claims added to the cautious mood. Initial claims climbed to 248,000 last week, above the 240,000 estimate, while continuing claims hit 1.956 million—the highest level since November 2021—suggesting weakening labor demand. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Trump Pressures Powell, Again</h3>
President Donald Trump renewed pressure on Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell to cut interest rates.
Speaking from the White House, Trump said he told Powell "we don't need to keep interest rates this high" and added that he "may have to force something," hinting at political frustration over tight monetary policy.
The S&amp;P 500 inched 0.2% higher to 6,035 points by midday trading in New York. The tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 also rose 0.2% to 21,900 points. 
Blue-chip stocks, tracked by the Dow Jones Industrial Average, were flat at 42,860, while small-cap shares fell 0.5%.
The U.S. dollar index — tracked by the Invesco DB USD Index Bullish Fund ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UUP#NYSE">UUP</a>) — fell 0.6% to 97.60, hitting its weakest level since March 2022 amid broad disinflation and labor market concerns.
Treasury yields declined across the curve, with 5- to 6-basis-point drops. In response, the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>) surged nearly 1%.
Gold prices climbed sharply as the dollar weakened and expectations grew for easier Fed policy. The yellow metal rose 1% to $3,390 per ounce, while silver erased early losses to gain 0.2%, reaching $36.30.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), meanwhile, slipped 1.3% to $107,400.

'GameStop's Future Is in Trading Cards, CEO Says'- Bloomberg

Shares of GameStop Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NYSE">GME</a>) are falling Thursday after the company announced plans for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/25/06/45897204/gamestop-themed-crypto-skyrockets-over-500-after-retailer-announces-1-75-billion-investment-plan">a private offering</a>.
What To Know:&nbsp;GameStop said it intends to offer $1.75 billion of 0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2032 to institutional buyers. The company also plans to grant the initial purchasers a 13-day window to buy up to an additional $250 million of the notes.
GameStop expects to use the net proceeds to make investments aligned with its investment policy, as well as for potential acquisitions. GameStop recently announced that its board unanimously approved an update to its investment strategy to add&nbsp;Bitcoin&nbsp;as a treasury reserve asset.
The proposed private offering comes on the heels of the company&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/06/45872536/gamestop-q1-earnings-revenue-misses-despite-collectibles-growth-eps-beats-retailer-adds-4710-bitcoin" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">first-quarter results</a>. GameStop reported mixed results for the first quarter with revenue of $732.4 million, below analyst&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/GME/earnings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">estimates</a>&nbsp;of $754.24 million, and adjusted earnings per share coming in at 17 cents, above estimates of four cents.
The company ended the quarter with approximately $6.4 billion in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities, but disclosed that it used cash to purchase 4,710 Bitcoin after the quarter closed.
Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter reiterated coverage on GameStop with an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Underperform rating</a> and price target of $13.50 earlier this week. The analyst expects to see continued declines in the company's core business, and noted that the company&#8217;s Bitcoin strategy won&#8217;t be enough to turn things around.
&#8220;It is difficult to understand why any investor would be willing to pay more than 2x cash value for the possibility of GameStop converting more of its cash into Bitcoin, especially since these investors could invest in Bitcoin or a Bitcoin ETF themselves,&#8221; Pachter <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst-color/25/06/45888497/bitcoin-probably-wont-fix-gamestops-troubles">said</a>. 
GME Price Action:  <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/gme" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">GameStop shares</a> were down 19% at $23.14 at the time of publication Thursday, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Why Oracle Shares Are Trading Higher By Around 8%; Here Are 20 Stocks Moving Premarket

A cryptocurrency named after GameStop Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NYSE">GME</a>) blasted to triple-digit gains Wednesday after the video game retailer announced plans to raise over a billion dollars for investment purposes.
What happened: BNB Chain (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/bnb/usd">BNB</a>)-based GameStop Coin (GME) soared a whopping 532% in the last 24 hours, defying the broader market correction. The memecoin recorded a significant surge in trader interest, with volume jumping by 53%.
GME outperformed blue-chip cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>), which fell 1.21% and 2.30%, respectively.
Note that the token is unrelated to GameStop and merely seeks to capitalize on the hype surrounding the meme stock.
