GameStop preps offer for $50B eBay
Watch: Watch for GameStop's official offer this month and financing details clarifying how the buyout could be structured.
GameStop is preparing a bid for eBay, which trades around $46-$50 billion, while GameStop's market cap is about $11 billion. Despite having $10 billion in assets and $4 billion debt, GameStop shares rose 7%, and eBay shares jumped 10%. Short interest fell 1.5% to 61.9 million shares, or 15.1% of float, indicating some easing bearish pressure.
This potential acquisition marks a bold strategic move by GameStop's CEO to rapidly increase market value and reshape the company's growth trajectory despite leverage risks.
