Al Jazeera – Breaking News, World News and Video from Al Jazeera | EBay rejects GameStop’s $56bn bid as ‘neither credible nor attractive’

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

eBay has turned down GameStop’s $56 billion takeover proposal, calling it “neither credible nor attractive” and citing doubts over financing, potential impacts on eBay’s long‑term growth and the leadership structure of a combined firm. The bid, put forward by GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen—who owns a 5 % stake in eBay—relied on a $20 billion debt commitment from TD Bank and combined cash and stock payments, but analysts questioned whether the financing would hold up, especially given Moody’s view that the deal would be credit‑negative for eBay. eBay’s chairman Paul Pressler emphasized that under CEO Jamie Iannone the company’s turnaround has already delivered strong performance, with a 201 % stock gain in six years and a 31 % EBITDA margin, far outpacing GameStop’s 10 % margin. While Cohen argues that merging the two could generate cost synergies and leverage GameStop’s physical store network to better rival Amazon, investors remain skeptical, and the offer has already prompted some GameStop shareholders, such as Michael Burry, to sell their stakes.

The Guardian | GameStop hits the limits of credibility with $55.5bn eBay bid | Nils Pratley by Nils Pratley

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

GameStop’s audacious $55.5 billion offer to buy eBay – a bid valuing the auction site at $125 per share and funded half in cash and half by newly issued GameStop stock – was promptly dismissed by eBay’s board as “neither credible nor attractive.” The proposal, championed by CEO Ryan Cohen, harkens back to GameStop’s rise as a “meme stock” after Reddit traders forced a massive short‑squeeze that sent its share price soaring and made Cohen a cult anti‑establishment figure. However, the financing behind the deal is shaky: only $8 billion of cash is certain, while the remaining $20 billion relies on a non‑binding promise from Canadian TD Bank that hinges on GameStop obtaining an investment‑grade rating—a doubtful prospect given the leverage required. With eBay’s own shares up 50 % over the past year and no clear strategic benefit to swapping its stable currency for volatile GameStop stock, the board sees no reason to entertain the bid, even as Cohen vows to keep pressing, hinting at a possible hostile takeover attempt.

eBay kicks GameStop to the curb with brutal rejection letter

BBC News | eBay rejects $55.5bn offer from GameStop

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Online marketplace eBay has turned down a unsolicited $55.5 billion (£40.9 billion) takeover bid from video‑game retailer GameStop, calling the proposal neither credible nor attractive and expressing concerns about its impact on eBay’s long‑term growth, operational risks, and leadership structure. Analysts had expected a rejection because GameStop is much smaller than eBay and the deal’s financing was uncertain, despite GameStop’s claim of a TD Securities‑backed $20 billion debt facility. eBay noted its turnaround plan is working, with net profit rising to $418.4 million in 2025, and emphasized its position as a strong, resilient business. GameStop’s CEO Ryan Cohen said the company may take the offer directly to eBay shareholders if the board’s “no” stands, while critics warned the deal could saddle eBay with GameStop’s debt.

Variety | EBay Rejects GameStop’s $56 Billion Takeover Bid: ‘Your Proposal Is Neither Credible nor Attractive’ by Todd Spangler

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Online retail giant eBay rejected GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen’s unsolicited $56 billion takeover proposal, deeming it “neither credible nor attractive.” The non‑binding offer, submitted on May 3, valued eBay at $55.5 billion and proposed a purchase price of $125 per share—half cash, half GameStop stock—with a $20 billion debt financing commitment from TD Securities. After a “thorough review,” eBay’s board cited concerns about the company’s standalone prospects, uncertainty over the financing, potential impacts on long‑term growth and profitability, leverage and operational risks of a combined entity, valuation implications, and GameStop’s governance structure. Chairman Paul Pressler emphasized that eBay’s current strategy and management position it for sustainable growth and shareholder value. Cohen’s inability to explain the financing on CNBC and eBay’s share price—peaking at $111.38 and closing at $108.13, well below the proposed $125—underscored investor skepticism.

The Guardian | GameStop’s $55.5bn bid for eBay rejected as ‘neither credible nor attractive’ by Joanna Partridge

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

eBay’s board has turned down GameStop’s unsolicited $55.5 billion offer to buy the online marketplace, calling the proposal “neither credible nor attractive” and citing uncertainty over how GameStop would finance the deal, its borrowing levels, and the operational risks of merging the two companies. GameStop, which has accumulated a 5 % stake in eBay, proposed a price of $125 per share funded by about $9.4 billion of cash and roughly $20 billion of debt financing, leaving a shortfall of around $16 billion relative to its own market value of roughly $12 billion and eBay’s $46 billion valuation. CEO Ryan Cohen, who has been linked to GameStop since 2020, was unable to explain the financing during a CNBC interview and hinted at a possible hostile bid if the board remains unreceptive. The rejection comes amid GameStop’s recent store closures, its meme‑stock legacy, and eBay’s own strategic moves, including a pending $1.2 billion acquisition of the fashion resale app Depop.
