However, shares of GameStop opened for trading at $30.88 and then sank to an intra-day low of $29.16. The stock managed to rebound but was still trading in negative territory after more than three hours of trading.
According to Telsey Advisory's Group Joe Feldman, the selloff in GameStop's stock may not be warranted. The analyst argued that the company's new store announcement offers a "good flow through" to its earnings.
The selloff could be due to the company taking on debt with its pristine balance sheet, he added.
Feldman also told Benzinga that GameStop's Spring Mobile business managed Cricket Wireless and AT&T branded stores and the segment has been "fairly profitable" in addition to diversifying the overall business.
Feldman rates GameStop's stock with a Hold rating and $38 price target.
