As all popular and skilled GameStop Corp investors confidently shout "L-F-G-!!!" based on Friday's start-of-volume-reintroduction, the debt-free and already-profitable GameStop Corp has quickly grown its cash position from about $1 Billion to roughly $5 Billion. Back in May, I had written that this would occur when I stated that GameStop Corp is "the Green, Cash-and-Criminal-Siphoning, Tornado-Spawning, Category 6 Hurricane of Our Evolving Stock Market." Clearly the "criminal-siphoning" component, too, is nicely playing out.
As again proven, a company can indeed raise capital by issuing shares while also experiencing an increase in its share price. This has happened with only the most-dominant businesses, by historical example: Amazon, Moderna, and Tesla. I was asked to provide 'one final 💲GME post' to explain why this is evidence that it is now GameStop Corp's 'turn.'
So let us analyze each historical case to prove why GameStop's MOASS is confidently "Now In Progress":
The Amazon Case Study:

This e-commerce giant [past tense] also issued new shares to fuel its growth initiatives, including investments in cloud computing, logistics, and entertainment:
1998: Amazon's market capitalization was $17 Billion.
1999: Amazon announced the splitting of its stock, Similar to GameStop Corp's 2022 split.
2009: Amazon issued shares to raise capital for "general corporate purposes," including for "potential acquisitions and investments."
2017: Amazon issued 180 Million shares from 2016-2017, as well as sold bonds, to finance its $13.7 billion acquisition of Whole Foods Market. This move was part of Amazon’s strategy to expand its brick-and-mortar footprint.
2020: During the COVID-19 pandemic, Amazon issued shares to bolster its cash reserves and support increased demand for its services including investments in logistics, delivery infrastructure.
2021: Amazon issued shares to fund its acquisition of MGM Studios for $8.45 billion. This acquisition aimed to enhance Amazon’s Prime Video content library and compete more effectively in the streaming market.
2024: Amazon reached $2.112 Trillion in market cap, marking a 12,400.00% growth factor of its market cap since just-prior to its split and its subsequent offerings. Ex-CEO Jeff Bezos dumped $8.5 Billion worth of his Amazon shares.
The Moderna Case Study

This biotech company's rapid developments during the pandemic led to significant share price increases, even as it issued new shares to fund research and development:
2019: Moderna’s market capitalization was $6.5 Billion
2020: Moderna raised $1.34 billion in a public stock offering to fund the manufacturing and distribution of its shot.
2020: Another offering in the same month [of May] aimed to raise $1.25 billion. This was intended to support the development of its technology platform and other corporate purposes.
2021: Moderna reached a market cap of $191 Billion, marking a 2,940.00% growth factor of its market cap since just-prior to its share offerings.
The Tesla Case Study:

TLDR
GameStop Corp's MOASS is "Now In Progress."
The preponderance of the evidence reveals a positive correlation between number of offerings and company growth: i.e. more share offerings = higher market cap and share price. There can be only one rational interpretation here, as shown by Amazon, Moderna, and Tesla case studies: confidently-growing businesses, such as GameStop Corp, do issue shares to accelerate their already-verified growth. For the similar case studies, each individual offering, on average, saw a 4,000.00% growth in the eventual size of the company. And in the case with Tesla, 7 offerings total led to a 529x growth in the stock. Yet, it should be noted that none of the above examples had a real short interest comparable to GameStop Corp's real short interest. This is the cherry on top of 'MOASS Sundae.'
More research is needed to confirm when the 'critical mass' was reached for the historical examples above, but one piece of evidence is clear: when additional offerings then resulted in no material decline in the share price, the rip-your-face-off Bullish, damn-near-Apish 'meltup' immediately followed. This same phenomenon is what is now starting with GameStop Corp today.
