CEO Cohen's $10.6M open-market buy is a powerful signal — the largest insider purchase at GameStop in years. Monitor for an upcoming catalyst: potential earnings beat, strategic pivot (e.g., crypto/bitcoin treasury, M&A), or share buyback announcement. The cluster buy by both CEO and a director within 3 days suggests coordinated conviction. If the stock holds above $24, this could mark a near-term floor.
Price Chart
