It's incredibly good for GameStop. This gives them an excellent opportunity to issue new stock and raise a huge war-chest to pivot and become a 21st century business.

Would that actually work? It takes time to issue new stock, and at that point, this may have passed.
The thesis that many Bulls are approaching Gamestop stock with is that the company was fundamentally undervalued prior to the current short-squeeze event. Even after the current spike resolves, a return to a $30 or so share price (up from $5 or so most of this year) gives them plenty of market cap and plenty of time to capture it for a major re-positioning in the market.

Curious how long it would take. Are there regulatory hurdles that take time? If not, I could see that the potential for large profits might make an otherwise slow process suddenly get completed in a short amount of time if needed.
