GameStop Corp. (NYSE:GME) is back in the spotlight as it gears up for third-quarter earnings on Tuesday, Dec. 10, after the market close.
Analysts predict a loss of 3 cents per share on revenue of $887.7 million. Yet, in true meme-stock fashion, the buzz — not the balance sheet — is stealing the show.

AMC Entertainment Inc (NYSE:AMC) joined the rally with a 12% gain. Unrelated stocks like Unity Software Inc (NYSE:U) and Clear Secure Inc (NYSE:YOU) saw speculative action, underscoring the enduring power of meme-stock culture.
