Strategic Profile
GameStop has improved gross margins to 34.5% through a strategic shift toward higher-margin product categories like collectibles and pre-owned hardware. Cohen agreed to a performance-based pay plan that will see him bank billions if GME's market cap hits $100 billion within 10 years, signaling ambitious transformation objectives.
