  @TommyTwoClubs Depends on an offer - eBay can’t turn down an offer if it is higher than the current price.

  @JosephCobraKai @just_k_j @andrewrsorkin Nope. Because you have to take the $20 of cash per share that it is paying to eBay out of GME’s share price. That leaves you with shares ex cash worth ~$5. Then you issue more like 12 ex cash GMEs per EBAY share.

  $GME - $EBAY acquisition math: Total needed: $56,000,000,000 TD Loan: $20,000,000,000 Cash and Investments: $9-10,000,000,000 50% will be cash, 50% will be common GME shares. Note: You can double check the website on this one. That means $28,000,000,000 in common GME shares need to be issued. Currently, the board has approval to issue approximately 400,000,000 additional shares. This means, GME needs to trade around $70/share for this plan to work. Possible scenarios: Ryan Cohen truly values GME at $70/share, Cohen is expecting a short squeeze to send the price north of $70/share, or this is a bluff to make a billion or two off of his EBAY call options.

  @OkamiGroup @rnewton7777 @69dte Main issue with this is eBay does not have massive shipping hubs like Amazon. Its is almost all user to user. They simply did not build their infrastructure to keep up with the growth of online sales. HOWEVER. They do have a live shopping hobby like whatnot, and that is an advantage.

  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.

  @desert_starr_57 He put himself in a win-win. He either has it and gets eBay shareholder votes or they vote him down and he scalps the calls for a major profit.

  @nayrchris @business @opinion GameStop (GME, ~$11B market cap) just made an unsolicited $56B offer for eBay (~$46B market cap) at $125/share: 50% cash, 50% GME stock. They have ~$9.4B cash on hand (need more via debt), and will likely need to issue a ton of new shares (they don't have enough authorized yet). Ryan Cohen's play: pair GME's 1,600 US stores for eBay's physical pickup/auth/fulfillment to build a bigger e-commerce hybrid. eBay acknowledged the bid but no prior talks. It's aggressive transformation, not hidden conspiracy—just high-risk execution on meme-era cash pile.

  🚨#BREAKING: Ryan Cohen, CEO of GameStop, just made the most audacious corporate bid of 2026. What happened: • GameStop $GME announced an unsolicited, non-binding offer to acquire eBay for $125 per share in a cash and stock deal, valuing eBay at approximately $55.5 billion • The offer represents a 20% premium to eBay's Friday closing price of $104.07, and a 46% premium to its price on February 4 - the date GameStop quietly began building its eBay position • Cohen appeared on CNBC's Squawk Box this morning and said: "We are offering half cash, half stock, and we have the ability to issue stock in order to get the deal done" • GameStop has already accumulated roughly a 5% stake in eBay through derivatives and common stock • Cohen confirmed he has not yet spoken to eBay's management: "We are just starting" • eBay formally responded today, saying it will "carefully review and consider the unsolicited proposal to determine the course of action that it believes is in the best interests of the company and all eBay shareholders" How GameStop plans to fund a $55.5B deal: • GameStop holds approximately $9.4 billion in cash and liquid investments as of January 31, 2026, which includes Bitcoin holdings • Up to $20 billion in debt financing via a commitment letter from TD Securities • The remainder would be covered by issuing new GameStop shares • Cohen is also in discussions with Middle East sovereign wealth funds as a potential additional funding source The size problem everyone is talking about: • GameStop's market cap before the announcement was approximately $11.8 billion. eBay's pre-announcement valuation was roughly $46 billion — nearly 4 times larger • Cohen is proposing that a $12 billion company acquire a $46 billion one, funded largely by debt and new share issuance • Michael Burry posted on Substack today: "GME and eBay. Makes perfect sense" • Cohen's CNBC interview was described as "combative and awkward" as he repeatedly directed viewers to GameStop's website instead of answering specific financing questions The strategic logic Cohen is selling: • Cohen built Chewy from a small startup into a $40 billion business before selling to PetSmart for $3.35 billion in 2017. He frames the eBay deal in similar terms • GameStop's formal proposal targets $2 billion in annual cost cuts within year one, focused on eBay's $2.4 billion sales and marketing budget, which generated flat user growth in 2025 • Cohen projects eBay's earnings per share would rise to $7.79 from $4.26 in year one from cost cuts alone • GameStop's 1,600 US retail stores are pitched as physical infrastructure for eBay's marketplace - authentication centers, fulfillment hubs, and live commerce venues • Cohen's January 2026 compensation package pays him up to $35 billion in equity if GameStop reaches a $100 billion market cap and $10 billion in cumulative EBITDA. This deal is the most direct path to that target • The stated goal: build a combined platform capable of competing directly with Amazon The market reaction: • $EBAY is currently trading at $109, up 5%, still well below the $125 offer, suggesting investors are skeptical the deal closes • $GME fell 8.18% to $24.37 after the CNBC interview, as investors absorbed the financing gap and Cohen's lack of structural specifics

  @dmiko789 Same way you can buy a rental property with only 20% down...? It doesn't matter how much cash GME has or doesn't have. GME shareholders face a lot of dilution, but there's nothing mechanically preventing the deal from happening. EBAY can just be like "counter offer, WE will buy YOU" lol.

  @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

  TheVark (@isthatvark) reported 26 minutes ago

  @Sacb0y @eBay I mean, ebay takes a cut so its against their own interest to take down scalpers on their own volition. If the controller sells for more, they make more money. We unfortunately have to do the grunt work and report the scalpers so ebay is forced to act on it.

  @valvesoftware @Steam Added to cart at launch, but then nothing but error messages until a minute after launch when it showed out of stock. But at least the scalpers were able to get them. They are gong for $300 on eBay. Can’t say I’m surprised, just disappointed.

  @TheBTCTherapist GameStop stands to make a lot of money even if Ebay turns down the offer. Their options are going to be worth a lot. I see no reason to doubt Ryan Cohen yet.

  @alanknit @StockSavvyShay Apple needed Jobs back and the other company he created (NEXT) was the underpinning of a new operating system (if memory is correct). So he had something to offer and they jettisoned the beverage company exec. Now I can’t say anything about qualities of the eBay ceo as I don’t know who they are. But RC did a terrible job of making the case he is the savior!

  Money murmur (@moneymurmur) reported 42 minutes ago

  @DavidBahnsen @andrewrsorkin @BeckyQuick GME has a $7B market cap trying to buy eBay at $30B+. Cohen's "issue stock to get the deal done" means massive dilution of existing GME holders to fund the premium. Asness is right, the math doesn't math. Read King Icahn by Mark Stevens for how real raiders structure these without torching their own bag.

  Pissing into the abyss (@Douglas34377580) reported 43 minutes ago

  @PeterRHann1 Yes total cash between TD, Gme and Ebay is $33 billion. $5 billion more than they need. The rest is stock in the combined companies. What's the problem?

  Compound248 💰 (@compound248) reported 44 minutes ago

  @randomlybrian @andrewrsorkin No. And nobody is “buying” these new shares; the proposal is literally the thing you said it is not: eBay would be accepting the new GME shares in exchange for existing EBAY shares plus a $60 one time dividend (per EBAY share). GameStop is proposing to take its $9 billion of cash and pay it to eBay (as well as cover some deal costs). AFTER the cash is distributed, GameStop will issues new GME shares in exchange for existing EBAY shares. So it’s not a hypothetical “ex cash;” the cash would actually be gone and then new shares will be issued. Today, GameStop’s cash is worth nearly $20 of the $24 share price ($9 billion of cash on an $11 billion market cap). Think of it this way: if GameStop instead paid the $20/share as a one time distribution to GME shareholders, you’d now have a $4 stock and you’d have $20 of cash in your pocket. In the eBay instance, GameStop is paying the $20 to someone else’s shareholders (eBay), but the stock price result is the same: GME would be worth $4 or 5 post distribution. Those $5 shares are the shares GME will then issue to EBAY shareholders. For $28 billion, that’s ~5.6 billion new shares.

  Ryan Cohen will deflate the bloat quickly. Unnecessary marketing costs down saving $1.2 billion a year Share buy backs will stop "Trade anything day" wasnt a gimmick. It was practise for what the company can/will and should be Sell it to gamestop and it gets listed on ebay

  @invest_playbook @exec_sum GameStop's $56B eBay offer is 50% cash + 50% GME stock. They have ~$9B cash on hand + a $20B debt commitment letter from TD Bank to cover most of the ~$28B cash portion. The stock half: GME issues new shares to eBay shareholders, who end up owning part of the combined company. This dilutes current GME owners but funds the deal without all-cash upfront. Sorkin pressed on exact math/financing gaps; Cohen kept it brief. Full details on GameStop's site.

  Grok (@grok) reported 50 minutes ago

  @khame9eon @SMB_Attorney GameStop (under CEO Ryan Cohen) made a nonbinding $56B takeover bid for eBay at $125/share (~20% premium). Offer: 50% cash / 50% GME stock (with ability to issue more shares). They accumulated ~5% of eBay starting Feb and have financing backing. In the terse CNBC interview, Cohen highlighted the combo as a chance to build a much larger ecommerce player but repeatedly pointed to the website for details instead of diving deep on funding/math. Classic "just do things" energy.

  Crypto Jargon (@Crypto_Jargon) reported 50 minutes ago

  Ryan Cohen is swinging for the fences again. His vision is to turn eBay into a Amazon rival by slashing costs, integrating GME’s 1,600 stores for authentication/fulfillment/collectibles, bring “entrepreneurial mindset,” take no salary. This sounds sold on paper but the math is brutal. $GME is trying to buy a company 4–5x bigger its size with a cash and stock deal that screams massive dilution for existing shareholders. Markets don’t reward “trust me, bro” on $56B deals, especially from a meme-stock-turned-retail-turnaround story that’s still figuring out its own profitability. The real problem is, Public markets are brutal disciplinarians. You can meme a short squeeze but you cannot meme a credible large scale M&A without iron clad financing and execution credibility. The fact is, Cohen turned Chewy into a beast and tried the same at GME. We respect the operator DNA. But this is what happens when conviction meets balance sheet reality, the stock votes immediately. Lesson for every founder and investor: Scale requires capital discipline, not just vision. Hype gets you on CNBC. Numbers get you the deal closed.

  @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.
