GameStop (GME) Surges: Stock Moves 11.6% Higher

GameStop Corp. GME was a big mover last session, as the company saw its shares rise nearly 12% on the day. The move came on solid volume too with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This stock, which remained volatile and traded within the range of $12.28 –$15.61 in the past one-month time frame, witnessed a sharp increase on Wednesday.

The move came after the company announced that it has inked a deal to divest its Spring Mobile business to Prime Communications for $700 million.

The company has seen one positive estimate revision in the past few weeks, while its Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current quarter has also moved higher over the past few weeks, suggesting that more solid trading could be ahead for GameStop. So make sure to keep an eye on this stock going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.

GameStop currently has a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) while its Earnings ESP is negative.

Will You Make a Fortune on the Shift to Electric Cars?

Here's another stock idea to consider. Much like petroleum 150 years ago, lithium power may soon shake the world, creating millionaires and reshaping geo-politics. Soon electric vehicles (EVs) may be cheaper than gas guzzlers. Some are already reaching 265 miles on a single charge.

With battery prices plummeting and charging stations set to multiply, one company stands out as the #1 stock to buy according to Zacks research.

It's not the one you think.
