Shares of retailer GameStop, a company popular with Reddit traders, fell more than 7 percent in extended trading Wednesday, Sept. 8. That came after the company reported a loss of nearly half of its 2020 level for the quarter ended July 31, CNBC reports.  

The company reported a net loss of $61.6 million for the quarter ($0.85 per share). In the previous year, GameStop reported a loss of $111.3 million ($1.71 per share). On an adjusted basis, GameStop lost $0.76 per share. The company's sales rose to $1.18 billion from $942 million a year earlier. According to Refinitiv, analysts expected the company to lose $0.67 cents per share on revenue of $1.12 billion.

GameStop is trying to shift its business toward e-commerce. In an effort to improve delivery of online orders, the company announced that it has signed a lease for a fulfillment center in Reno, Nevada. It intends to expand its retail network on both coasts of the U.S. using the Internet. The retailer has leased a customer service center in Pembroke Pines, Florida, to expand its U.S. operations.
