  @TommyTwoClubs I think Cohen legitimately wants the acquisition of Ebay, and I think it makes great strategic sense. The way this sets up with your theory though, there really is no true "down side" here. He either acquires them either with this offer or via hostile and can do his thing OR someone else steps in and juices up the offer and Gamestop profits from that stock gain both short term and potentially long term

  If $GME is down because mm is accounting for dilution to acquire $EBAY, why eBay is not at $125 🤔? Makes no sense. I am in both 🙏

  rnewton (@rnewton7777) reported 7 minutes ago

  Not an analyst. Not advice. I'm probably wrong as always. eBay almost certainly says yes to this deal. $125 is hard to turn down. Today was essentially the market trying to influence eBay to turn it down. Notice how it got priced today like a dilution. Because it is. The deal becomes something like: Every 1 share of eBay becomes $62.5 + 2.5 GME. The board would be pretty crazy to turn that down. Even if GME is trading at a premium, you could discount it down significantly and it still works out very favorably. For GME shareholders that means outstanding shares must grow. Outstanding Shares: 448m Convertible Notes: 144m Warrants: 59m Cohen Compensation Package: 171m Total: 822m of 1b Authorized Proxy should release soon with an ask to increase the authorized shares to accommodate the deal. Buy the Rumor, Sell the News Cycle Complete Next Steps: Proxy Vote Q1 Earnings Shareholders Meeting Vote Results Deal Completion Maybe Hope everybody is doing well. For those that were worried my calls would get assigned this week, that might still happen.

  @AutoInfatuation @eBay_UK Are you a business or private seller as that determines how you have to handle it and how eBay will treat you? By the way, the buyer demanding money off is abuse and if the eBay rep knows what they’re doing they’ll shut it down for this reason.

  @unusual_whales Yea . I’m sure eBay’s board has so toxic members that will veto that . Mayo man will have eBay shorted down anyway 15 mins after the bell . They will have news break about spirit airlines - retails money will flow into that play while they make a few million fake GME shares to drive down the price . Even if GME buys eBay . Nothing will happen . DISCLOSURE : I have been a GME holder for what feels like decades and would love to be wrong .

  @CNN GameStop just offered $55.5 Billion for eBay because apparently, being a 'Meme Stock' wasn't legendary enough. ​Ryan Cohen really woke up and chose to create a 'Final Boss' to fight Amazon! At this rate, by 2027, GameStop will probably acquire the Moon just to build a literal retail store there! From selling used discs for $2 to buying a global giant—the simulation is definitely broken.

  @AutoInfatuation @eBay_UK I remember when I sold a MediEvil PS4 steelbook case a few years ago. You know...the game about a living skeleton, so the Steelbook case has fake "worn" marks. Buyer reported case was damaged and looked worn. I sent him pics from retailers, he wouldn't back down. eBay sided him.

  Wayne Reardon (@WayneReardon) reported 11 minutes ago

  @ryancohen I'm hoping you'll turn eBay back into eBay. eBay went wrong by trying to copy Amazon instead of doing their own thing. One of their reps told me they were told at a 2014 meeting "we need to be more like Amazon". That's when it started going down. Trying to impersonate another business is guaranteed to end in failure. eBay were a great company with great customer service, but that's no longer the case. Go and have a look at any of the FB groups or forums and you'll see what I mean.

  POLYMARKET ODDS OF GAMESTOP $GME ACQUIRING EBAY $EBAY JUST DROPPED TO 18%, DOWN FROM ~30% EARLIER The market is fading the deal even though Ryan Cohen is reportedly preparing a formal offer. For context: • GameStop's market cap: ~$12 billion • eBay's market cap: ~$46 billion • GameStop is preparing to make an offer for eBay as soon as later this month, per the Wall Street Journal • GameStop has been quietly building an eBay stake ahead of the offer • The deal would be part of CEO Ryan Cohen's plan to turn GameStop into "a $100 billion plus juggernaut" The market is signaling that even though the offer is coming, traders don't believe GameStop can actually close a deal at nearly 4x its own market cap.

  This maniac Cohen is running the $GME gamma squeeze playbook on $EBAY Two issues: 1) Ebay has much lower SI (~3.5 days to cover) & 2) whole insane buyout structure dependent upon $GME shares playing ball. So far, not happening.

  GameStop official letter sent to eBay. Ryan Cohen points out how terrible the decisions have been at the other company compared to the historical turn-around in GameStop's performance. Same tones I read in the letter to GameStop's Board and the letter to Bed, Bath, and Beyond's Board. One company took his advice, the other turned it down and went bankrupt.

  @cab8901 @DesertLion26 @ryancohen He's had the money for years and now is pulling the trigger when it's at its most valuable. Ebay peaked during covid to its before all time high then dropped after things started opening up again. At this time GME already had 3-5 billion in the bank. Also no you acquire companies when they are down in value not at their ALL TIME HIGHS Jack. The only people who buy something at its peak value are idiots. You buy low sell high, not buy high ****.

  Scenario 3: eBay shareholders force the board’s hand GameStop makes the offer. eBay’s board tries to stay calm. They call it unsolicited. They question the stock component. They question the financing. They say they will review it carefully. But then the shareholders start doing the math. GameStop is offering $125 per eBay share. If eBay’s market price is sitting well below that, the board suddenly has a problem. Because shareholders do not care about boardroom pride. They care about the premium. That is where the pressure campaign begins. Large shareholders start asking the obvious question: “If you think this offer undervalues eBay, show us the better plan.” Now eBay is trapped. The board can reject GameStop, but only if it can prove eBay is worth more on its own. That means they need to explain how eBay will unlock more value through buybacks, growth, marketplace expansion, collectibles, advertising, AI tools, payments, or a better strategic partner. If they cannot show that clearly, shareholders may start pushing back. Then the activists enter the room. They do not need to love GameStop. They do not even need to believe the deal will close. They only need to believe the offer has exposed a truth: eBay may be worth more than the market is giving it credit for. Suddenly, GameStop’s bid becomes less about GameStop buying eBay and more about eBay shareholders forcing the board to act. Accept the offer. Negotiate a higher price. Find a better buyer. Spin off assets. Increase buybacks. Do something. Because once a premium offer is on the table, silence becomes dangerous. That is the real nightmare for eBay’s board. GameStop may not have to win immediately. It only has to make eBay shareholders ask why the board is saying no. $GME $EBAY

  @cannedpears @MorningBrew eBay's 2025 full-year revenue was $11.1B (up ~8% YoY), with Q1 2026 at $3.1B. It's a terrible deal for GameStop because a $56B offer for eBay (market cap ~$46B) is ~5x GME's $11.9B market cap. Funding it would require massive share dilution, huge debt, or both—crushing current shareholders while GME swallows a far larger, unrelated business.

  @KobeissiLetter Cohen trying to turn GME into a holdco was always inevitable. eBay at $56B vs GME's actual operating business is the entire thesis. Stock down because nobody asked for this.

  Financhle (@Financhle) reported 47 minutes ago

  @ryancohen Nice proposal. So you want to use $GME shareholders’ cash + issue ~$28B of new shares to buy eBay, become CEO of the combined company, and finally unlock your $35b options package tied to a $100b market cap? The $2B “synergies” sound heroic with zero due diligence. Bold move… for your comp.

  Compound248 💰 (@compound248) reported 50 minutes ago

  @andrewrsorkin One typo correction. I put a "B" where there should be an "M." It should say: To issue $28 billion of GME shares, it has to issue ~5.6B of new shares to eBay (vs 590 "MILLION" FD GME shares today), giving eBay 90%+ of the post-deal shares (+ $28 billion of cash to eBay owners).

• 
  NaiveAnalyst (@naiveanalyst7) reported 50 minutes ago

  @foxenflask Excellent analysis, the math is definitely mathing here. But before discussing the post-acquisition scenario, we need to figure out a more pressing problem first: since we know RC is going all in for 100% of eBay, how does GME issue $28B worth of new shares without annihilating the PPS? In another post of yours, you speculated about an initial 20% controlling stake acquisition with a progressive scale-up to take board seats. But now that we know he wants to acquire the entire company outright, how do you think he pulls it off?

• 
  Emma Stock Notes (@EmmaStockNotes) reported 52 minutes ago

  @KobeissiLetter $GME has $8-9bn in liquid assets it can use. It probably can’t issue much equity. So it would need to raise the rest as debt. eBay has fairly consistent operating income and cash flow so it is possible that they can find banks to lend against this. Still seems a tough ask.

  🤯 THE MEME COUP: GAMESTOP OFFERS $56 BILLION FOR EBAY - HOW IT'S BEING FINANCED! A company that hedge funds wrote off four years ago officially offered $56 billion yesterday for one of the world's largest online marketplaces. Ryan Cohen confirmed this exclusively in today's Wall Street Journal. GME is offering $125 per share for eBay. Cash and stock. A 20 percent premium over eBay's Friday closing price, with an implied valuation of $56 billion. For comparison, GameStop itself is valued at around $12 billion on the stock market. The minnow wants to swallow the giant, which is five times its size. What makes the WSJ story particularly interesting: GameStop has already bought 5 percent of eBay. Silent accumulation since February. And Ryan Cohen has a commitment letter from TD Bank in his pocket, $20 billion in debt financing. Plus $9 billion in cash on the balance sheet. Around $27 billion remains outstanding, which Cohen says will be raised through a new share issue and potential investor consortia. If eBay's board rejects the proposal, he will go directly to the shareholders. @ParikPatelCFA made the most absurd statement of the day: "GameStop will now own eBay just because a guy named Roaring Kitty posted about the stock on WallStreetBets in 2020." And he's right. Without the 2021 squeeze, there would have been no capital increase; without a capital increase, no war chest; and without a war chest, no eBay bid today. Most people have a superficial understanding of the story from back then. At the beginning of 2021, GameStop was a dying video game retailer. Steam and digital downloads had finished off the business. Hedge funds like Melvin Capital had shorted so massively that there were more shares shorted than were even in circulation. Then came r/WallStreetBets. Keith Gill, known online as Roaring Kitty, had been posting his position for years. In January 2021, his YouTube streams turned into a revolt. Hundreds of thousands of small investors bought simultaneously. The price jumped from $20 to $483 intraday. Melvin lost $4.5 billion in two weeks and later shut down. Robinhood simply stopped the buy button mid-squeeze. A scandal to this day. But hardly anyone talks about it anymore. GameStop itself was clever enough to monetize the hype, issuing new shares and raising billions. That's precisely the money being used today. The question remains: why eBay of all companies? At first glance, it makes no sense. The stock has traded sideways for 25 years; Amazon dismantled it. But @BurnTheFed summed up the move so well on Twitter: "They're going for trading cards. eBay owns TCGplayer, the largest secondary market for cards. And there are rumors that GameStop is also buying PSA, the card grading monopoly. If that goes through, they'll control the entire secondary market for trading cards." That's the real plan. Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, trading cards, memorabilia. The hottest collectibles market in the world, vertically integrated. ... Cohen told the WSJ, verbatim, that he's considering transforming eBay into a company worth hundreds of billions of dollars. That's blatant self-interest. Cohen's pay package will pay him $35 billion in stock if he grows GameStop to a $100 billion market capitalization. Acquiring eBay isn't a random target. It's the only way to trigger this package. Michael Burry also weighed in today on his substack. He openly stated that he had expected more than eBay and had posted his own list of targets back in February. But he supports Cohen. When Burry publicly joins the deal with mixed feelings, the signal to the market is clear. The skeptics aren't silent.

  Are you guys trying to figure out the deal with $EBAY ? I can help you with math on this one: $GME does not have enough cash even with TD backing. $27.75 billion would be paid in new GME shares. That's close to 1B new GME shares. Adding eBay's $55.5B equity value would reprice GME to reflect the blended value. You see the issue in acquiring a company 3-4 times your size? AKA: $GME drops initially off huge mechanical dilution to... mid-to-high teens. 🫣 But you could have seen that coming if you just did some simple VPA...

  Lot of people scratching their head on why a GME would want to purchase eBay, but think transaction makes more sense if you dig into some of the numbers > Collectibles and trading cards now make up ~30% of GME sales. Ebay is growing their trading cards business at dougle-digits for 9+ consecutive quarters. Both businesses are individually making a big bet on the future of collectibles, which would become a combined effort moving forward > Gamestop currently sells sealed trading cards across 1600+ stores with PSA grading at 1360+ locations. Most of the PSA products then end up on auctions and for sale on eBay > Gamestop is currently holding $9 billion of cash and Bitcoin. That cash is currently not earning anything for the business, and needs to be put to work somewhere. The company itself has had poor ROIC on its own operations, so a great way to fix is through M&A > Gamestop's recent Q revenue was -13.9% y/y. FY25 revenue was -5% y/y. Meanwhile eBay is growing in the mid-teens revenue growth range. Essentially solves your revenue decline problem > Gamestop has accumulated federal NOLs from a decade of losses, which are currently not providing value to shareholders. Meanwhile, eBay was a net tax payer. The NOLs can ideally be used to offset some of the taxable income
