It took a late session surge for all three to finish in positive territory, with Bed Bath and Beyond leading the way with a 7.35% gain for the day.

GameStop stock price

A day after Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) reported an inflated loss for the quarter and saw its shares fall by nearly 11%, the stock rebounded by 7.37% on Wednesday. Part of this is due to Bitcoin and the crypto markets rallying on the lower inflation number. The CFO also explained that much of the loss is due to an accounting impairment on the crypto assets that Coinbase holds. While it may soften the blow, it does not change the fact that the company has certainly been underperforming expectations as of late.
