In response to the inquiry about "13/4 FTD numbers," it's important to clarify that "FTD" refers to "Failures to Deliver" in the context of securities trading. Failures to Deliver occur when a seller of securities does not deliver the shares to the buyer by the settlement date. This can arise from various reasons, including administrative errors or, more controversially, from "naked short selling," where shares are sold without being borrowed or located. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) publishes FTD data twice a month, detailing aggregate FTDs for each security.
The "13/4" designation is not a standard or recognized identifier for FTD reports or data within SEC filings or financial databases. It is possible this refers to a specific date, such as April 13th, or a misunderstanding of a different type of SEC filing (e.g., a Form 13F or 10-Q, which are numbered reports). However, for FTD data, reports are typically identified by the settlement date for which the failures occurred.
Regarding GameStop's Q3 2025 net income of $77.1 million, a comparison to historical performance reveals a significant improvement. For the third quarter ended November 1, 2025, GameStop reported a net income of $77.1 million. This compares favorably to a net income of $17.4 million in the prior year's third quarter (Q3 2024), indicating substantial growth in profitability year-over-year.1
Looking at other recent quarterly results:
- Q2 2025 (ended August 2, 2025): Net income of $168.6 million.2
- Q1 2025 (ended May 3, 2025): Net income of $44.8 million.3
- Q4 2024 (ended February 1, 2025): Net income of $131.3 million.4
This trend suggests a period of sustained profitability for GameStop following previous periods of losses.5
Comparing GameStop to industry peers in terms of net income can be complex due to its unique position in the retail and entertainment technology sectors. While Fintel categorizes GameStop under "Computer and Computer Software Stores" (SIC 5734), its business model also encompasses video games, consumer electronics, and e-commerce, making direct peer comparisons challenging.5 A comprehensive peer analysis would involve identifying companies with similar revenue streams, market capitalization, and strategic initiatives (e.g., digital transformation, blockchain/NFT exploration) and then comparing their financial performance metrics.
