GME closes Monday at $25.24, up 2.2%
- Close $25.24, +$0.54 / +2.2% vs Friday’s $24.70; range $24.77–$25.775, volume ~11.9M (Yahoo).
- Faded from the ~$25.66 mid-session level in last night’s desk but held above $25 — about 3.4% above Cohen’s 2 Oct Form 4 buy (700,000 shares at a weighted ~$24.41).
- 52-week high $26.88 is ~6.5% away. No new investor.gamestop.com release overnight (8 Sep Q2 results still the latest).
Why it matters — Second straight higher close on the insider-buying run, though the intraday high didn’t stick.
