GameStop stated on Wednesday that it dismissed the chief executive officer Matt Furlong and appointed Ryan Cohen as the chief executive officer.

Furlong was dismissed as the chief executive officer on Monday.

CEO Matt Furlong was fired precisely two years after GameStop recruited a previous Amazon employee.

The business also announced its first-quarter earnings, referring to sales of 1.24 billion USD, a decrease from 1.38 billion USD in the corresponding period the previous year.

A total loss of 50.5 million USD was also announced by GameStop.

Post-hours trading saw a roughly 20 percent decline in GameStop’s stock.

GameStop’s shares rose at this time to an overnight record-breaking high of 483 USD before dropping.

The stock’s Wednesday closing price was roughly 26 USD.
