It certainly is since they caught their shareholders by surprise based on the previous published release date. https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/stocks/gme/earnings I saw the after hours trading and those fools were buying based on Gill announcing his You Tube broadcast for today. Stocks (not GME) as a whole will run up prior to earnings date. It's the old buy on rumor and sell on news. The funny thing was AMC also ran up in AHs.
