  @ryancohen I'm sure you have greater plans, but, using your stores to transact high-value (or mid-value) ebay sales as a place that verifies the product in the photos is sold, and returned if the buyer wants, would fix a lot of problems with ebay.

  @SolLunix @WatcherGuru CEO said this morning they might have to issue more shares to finance the ebay purchase so current shares holders would get diluted

  @PolymarketMoney @Polymarket GameStop’s ambitious $55B bid for eBay was always a stretch with its ~$12B market cap. Odds now down to just 18% — the market is reminding everyone that ambition is one thing, but the math and massive dilution required are another. Still a wild story to watch.

  Insane seeing the number of people who don't understand this $GME transaction. Honestly makes financial sense from all sides - if eBay is down to sell, this could go well. Props @ryancohen.

  $GME 🤔 4/5 No roadmp. No specifics. Just "eBay is under-earning and we'll fix it" with zero details on how. $GME revenues are down nearly 40% in four years and he is out here saying they can rival $AMZN. The confidence gap between the claim and the substance was massive.

  @pitdesi @tbpn @AnjneyMidha I am a case study and Anjney is correct in his analysis. The 1 million users isn't new to brand or first time customers per se. Marketing does not = advertising. Marketing could be: discounts, ads, influencers, or something else. I purchase on ebay maybe once every 5-8 years. Want to know my most recent purchase? It was only because I was given a $50 coupon that I did it and bought TCG Magic cards that basically lowered the price down the the MSRP. If I don't get that, then I don't make a purchase with them, and I wont again. However, I am not the ideal customer profile for ebay. They are spending meaningless dollars on customers who will generate little to no lifetime value (LTV look it up) You know how much money Ryan Cohen currently spends on marketing costs with GME? Zilch (or very very little) All that to say, the people who are going to use ebay, are going to use it. No sense in wasting marketing $ to set cash on fire.

  @JoncySumulong @AviFelman Imagine a kid's lemonade stand (that's GameStop) yelling, "I'll buy the huge neighborhood toy store (eBay) for $55 billion!" Half with cash from its piggy bank ($9B they have + some borrowed), half by ripping up its own stand and handing out pieces as payment. Problem: the bank runs dry fast, and ripping up the stand floods it with extra pieces so every kid's share gets tiny and worthless. The toy store never even said yes. It's not a real buy—it's just loud play talk to make the lemonade line excited. No castle gets traded today.

  @JoshYoung I would rather have Ebay shares than GME shares even if GME can issue 10 trillion shares and buy Google with ''half stock and half cash''. The CEO looks like a complete idiot. After seeing how he handled the situation how would anyone vote positively for a takeover and have confidence in him for management...

  GameStop $GME just dropped a bombshell non-binding bid to buy eBay $EBAY for $125/share — a massive $55.5B deal! eBay popped hard on the news + heavy call buying #UOA (106s loaded up), while GME is down 5%. GME ($12B mkt cap) going all-in with cash + stock + leverage? This saga is just getting started. Positioned since Feb… will it happen? @petenajarian @jonnajarian #ITSNOTANOPTION 📙

  Ryan Cohen went on Squawk Box to defend a $55.5 billion offer for $EBAY. He could not explain how he was paying for $16 billion of it. The math is the entire story. GameStop's market cap is roughly $11.9 billion. Cash on the balance sheet, $9.4 billion. Add a "highly confident" letter from TD Securities for $20 billion, a soft commitment, not locked financing. Total firepower tops out near $40 billion. The offer is $55.5 billion, half cash, half stock, at $125 per share. That leaves a $16 billion hole. Cohen kept saying "we'll see what happens" while pointing at the website. This is where retail and institutional read the setup completely differently. The bull case: Cohen built Chewy and sold it for $3.35 billion, runs lean, and argues eBay's earnings could double under tighter cost control. eBay did roughly $10 billion in revenue last year and is widely seen as under-managed. Even half that operational lift, and multiple expansion alone covers a chunk of the gap. The bear case is louder. The funding gap is real. The "stock" half means GameStop has to issue tens of millions of new shares, diluting holders heavily. eBay closed at $109 against the $125 offer, the market saying the deal probably doesn't close. GameStop dropped 8 percent on the interview itself. The structural difference from a normal hostile bid: Cohen's pay package is tied entirely to the stock price. He has every incentive to swing for transformational deals because his upside is uncapped and floored at zero. Shareholders are riding that asymmetry whether they signed up for it or not. This is the meme stock CEO playbook meeting real M&A. Becky Quick had the cleanest line: "Where is the rest of the money coming from? Andrew laid it out clearly." He didn't have an answer. The market noticed.

  @VibeWithTea @WOLF_Financial In theory: The $56B deal is 50/50 cash/stock (~$28B each). Cash side uses GME's ~$9B balance sheet cash + the $20B TD "highly confident" debt letter + potential additional raises. Stock side is new GME shares issued to eBay holders at the offer value. The ~$16B gap gets covered by issuing even more shares (diluting existing holders), as Cohen noted they have "the ability to issue stock to get the deal done." Details are on GME's site per him.

  Everyone is laughing at Ryan Cohen's math. They shouldn't be. He just proved he understands the market better than anyone on Wall Street. January 2021: A Reddit user called DeepF*ckingValue posts a $53,000 GameStop position. The math says the stock is worth $4. It goes to $483 in two weeks. Melvin Capital, a hedge fund that bet on math, loses everything. Robinhood shuts down the buy button. Congress holds hearings. The system breaks. Nobody fixes it. 2026: Ryan Cohen, who became GameStop's CEO after walking into that rubble, offers $56 billion to buy eBay. His company is worth $11 billion. eBay is worth $46 billion. On CNBC, the host, Sorkin, asks where the money comes from. Cohen says "half cash, half stock." Sorkin says the math doesn't work. Cohen says he doesn't understand the question. The whole sequence becomes a meme, an icon of finance TV right away. 1999: AOL buys Time Warner for $164 billion. Steve Case calls it "the most important deal in history." It destroys both companies within two years. The man who got lucky once always starts believing luck is a business model. What is true is that in the attention economy, a good story beats a good balance sheet. Cohen knows this.

  Bull Theory (@BullTheoryio) reported 48 minutes ago

  🚨 THE ONLY REASON RYAN COHEN IS BUYING EBAY IS TO UNLOCK HIS OWN BILLION DOLLAR PAY PACKAGE ? Which he will get if GME hits $2 billion EBITDA, which can only happen after he takes over eBay and transfers eBay's EBITDA to GME. Ryan Cohen gets zero salary at GameStop. His entire compensation is 171 million stock options that only unlock if GameStop hits specific market cap and EBITDA targets. The first tranche unlocks at $20 billion market cap and $2 billion EBITDA. GameStop currently generates almost no EBITDA and is worth $12 billion. He cannot hit these targets by selling video games. So he is buying eBay instead. eBay generates billions in annual EBITDA. The moment GameStop acquires eBay, all of eBay's EBITDA transfers directly onto GameStop's consolidated financials on day one. Cohen does not need to build $2 billion in EBITDA organically. He just needs to buy a company that already has it. The market cap problem works the same way.  Market cap is stock price multiplied by total shares outstanding. To fund a $56 billion acquisition GameStop will issue hundreds of millions of new shares. More shares outstanding means higher total market cap, even if the stock price drops. His package is not adjusted for dilution meaning he can inflate the market cap mathematically through share issuance alone. One acquisition solves both problems at once. EBITDA target and Market cap target. 171 million options gets unlocked. GameStop shareholders issue the shares, take on $20 billion in debt, and fund the entire thing.

  Maybe simpler explanation: Cohen is offering to buy shares of eBay at $125. All time high. He was clear: Half is cash. The other half is shares. The market just said, ok you are going to pay a lot more than you thought you were. They drove GME down so the conversion hurts as much as possible. Just like the bond traders did last year. If we are buying $27.75 billion worth of Ebay shares with GME, here are the conversions: GME at $27.75 = Exactly 1 Billion GME GME at $25 = 1.11 Billion GME GME at $24 = 1.16 Billion GME GME at $23 = 1.21 Billion GME It makes a lot more sense if you think of GME as a currency. This is the dilution. Right here right now. This is the sling. If eBay finds the price the market decides to their liking, as indicated by the VWAP over some period, we successfully sell 1.x Billion GME tokens in the biggest fundraising event in GameStop's history by orders of magnitude. The 200m market cap baby trading at $0.64 in 2020 takes a giant step forward. CNBC asked the right question about the math. Ryan Cohen gave the right answer. Half shares. CNBC asked the right question about shareholder value. Ryan Cohen gave the right answer. If the deal goes through: Shareholder value goes up if eBay improves. But not in a straight line. We just went through a 5 month buy the rumor event. Now the news gets sold. The deal is priced. The dilution is real. Not like the dilutions we've seen before with ATM shares, Arb Desks hedging Converts, or Warrants. Here is the dilution we are currently witnessing: 1.x billion GME at the price the market is determining in real time this week will be exchanged directly to Ebay shareholders. The shares don't exist yet, but they are being priced right now. If this deal goes through, GameStop as we know it is dead. Now we are something totally new. Huge. Debt heavy. Unoptimized. Unburdened by what has been. (sorry couldn't help myself) If Ryan Cohen gets the deal done and the market re-prices the entire new organization based on the new combined fundamentals, don't expect it to look good right away. Let him cook. Let him streamline like he did GameStop the last few years. eBay has room to grow where GameStop didn't. Read this chart again. Maybe read my post again. We are in Project Sling. This is why the lady on CNBC was shocked. This is a giga dilution. It accreets the market cap of a company up so much that it is rarely seen. The market cap. Not the share price. But it gives Ryan Cohen, who says he's an operator, and I would say, has proved he's an operator, room to cook. Room to grow and create value. So it isn't a straight line on Market Cap. It won't be a straight line on Share Price. Burry bought. I thank him for his service and wish him well. Everybody that bought this rumor cycle improved the exchange rate on GME:EBAY. Just like those that bought the BTC hype improved our conversion price on the bonds. Now we move forward and see how our operator operates.

  @PhantomBlack699 @cvpayne Honestly I don’t want Charles to ask this. I don’t think cohen has or should have any involvement with the estate aside from the litigation itself. EBay will come back with a myriad of issues: - Gme can’t feasibly do the deal with their equity and debt structure - RCEO is asking to lead but is also facing pump and dump allegations Then cohen will be forced to actually deal with the estate.
