In a weak trading session on Wednesday, GameStop Corp (NYSE:GME). shares continued their downward trajectory for the sixth consecutive day, declining by 1.91% to $13.85. This underperformance came as both the Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 Index fell by 0.98% and 1.34% respectively.

This downturn is not a recent trend for GameStop, as the company has seen its stock price fall significantly over the last three months, according to InvestingPro Tips. The company's stock price has often moved in the opposite direction of the market, which is consistent with the recent performance.

GameStop's downturn was accentuated when compared to competitors like Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), AT&T, and Best Buy (NYSE:BBY), which saw their shares fall by lesser margins of 0.74%, 1.78%, and 1.14%, respectively. The closing price of GameStop's shares was $21.14 below its year-high recorded on October 31st.

According to InvestingPro data, the company's market capitalization stands at $4220.0M USD, with a negative P/E ratio of -42.56, indicating that the company has been unprofitable. The company's revenue for the last twelve months was $5813.7M USD, with a gross profit margin of 23.82%.

Despite the ongoing losses, trading volume for GameStop remained notably high. The company saw 4 million of its shares changing hands on Wednesday, surpassing its fifty-day average trading volume of 3.0M USD, according to InvestingPro data. This indicates a continued interest in the stock among traders despite the recent downtrend.

InvestingPro Tips also reveals that GameStop holds more cash than debt on its balance sheet and its liquid assets exceed short term obligations. This suggests that despite the current bearish trend in its stock price, the company has a strong financial position that may help it weather the storm.
