Ascendiant Capital maintains a 'Buy' on GameStop (NYSE: GME) price target lowered from $30 to $25.
Analyst, Edward Woo, said, "Q1 in line with preannouncement, Q2 guidance weak...We are lowering our FY12 estimates for revenue to $9.27 billion from $9.54 billion, comps to -3.1% from -0.1%, and EPS to $3.16 from $3.20. We are lowering our FY13 estimates for revenue to $9.47 billion from $9.79 billion, comps to +1.8% from +2.0%, and EPS to $3.40 from $3.50."
Woo's two concerns are: 1) Video game industry sales have been on the decline over the past three years (with 2012 as well); and 2) Concerns on game software distribution transitioning to digital. However, two positives are: 2) Attractive valuation; and 2) Strong cash flow
