GameStop announced a massive plan to buy back $2 billion of its own shares. This comes right after a sell-off, and the company also reported that sales were up 14% thanks to strong demand for collectibles.

## Idea

When a company announces it will spend billions to buy back its own stock, it usually puts a 'floor' under the price because the company steps in to buy when others are selling. GameStop's stock had been falling, but this huge buyback authorization signals management thinks the stock is cheap. With sales actually growing, this combination could spark a rebound.
