Nice move today in GameStop (GME) shares, up over 11% as I'm writing this. The company reported robust sales for the 9-week holiday season ending January 3.

Comp-store sales increased 10.2% and total sales spiked 22.3% over the year-ago period. Management also boosted its fourth quarter earnings per share from $1.29-$1.34 to $1.31-$1.34.

Despite a difficult consumer spending environment, GameStop remains one of our favorite retail stocks. We maintain our Buy rating and target price of $34.
