@XavierXPrince People saying this is impossible don’t understand how M&A actually works.
Deals bigger than the buyer happen all the time.

🚨 Here’s how GameStop buys eBay
Not with cash but
With stock, debt, and structured financing.
This is how smaller companies buy bigger ones.
This is how GameStop survives
GameStop stops being just a retailer.
It becomes a marketplace.
Instead of selling products,
it takes a fee on every transaction.
Low-margin sales become high-margin take rates.
One-time purchases become recurring revenue.
That’s the difference between a dying retailer
and a scalable platform.
This isn’t crazy.
It’s the most logical path GameStop has.

@XavierInvests Even if they could pull it off financially, do you trust GameStop’s management to integrate a global marketplace like eBay without destroying value?

Here’s How GameStop Will Buy Ebay.
Realistically it wouldn’t be a pure cash deal it would likely be a mix of equity debt and strategic financing where GameStop uses its market valuation + capital structure flexibility to fund a takeover far larger than its own size.
If it works the upside is simple GameStop stops being a retailer and becomes a marketplace platform owning transactions not just products with recurring revenue network effects
and global scale overnight.

@XavierInvests If GameStop’s stock is overvalued, using it as acquisition currency is actually the optimal move. So ironically, the more ‘irrational’ the market is, the more realistic this becomes.

@XavierInvests Everyone saying ‘this is impossible’ wasn’t that the exact reaction when people first suggested companies could use stock as currency to buy larger firms? The real question isn’t can they, it’s what conditions would make it rational?”
