The $GME proposed acquisition of $EBAY is even dumber than it sounds, which is why he refused to answer @andrewrsorkin's basic questions this am.
To start, the ACTUAL proposal is not GME acquiring EBAY:
GME is the seller, not the buyer.
Ryan Cohen is asking eBay to acquire GME, fire eBay's CEO, and let Ryan run the business.
Onto the dumbness of the proposal details:
The idea is 50% cash / 50% stock for roughly $56 billion of consideration to eBay.
Pundits note GME's ~$11.1B market cap and ~$9B of existing cash.
BUT THAT DOUBLE-COUNTS.
Of GME's ~$11.1B market cap, ~$9B IS THE CASH.
Or 81% of the market cap.
If I have a company worth $110 with $90 of net cash, it's not worth $180: the cash is worth $90, and the company ex-cash is worth $20 = $110.
As shown below, if GME pays eBay the ~$9B in existing cash, the remaining market cap (from eBay's perspective) is ~$2.1B.
GME shares are worth ~$5/share ex cash.
To issue $28 billion of GME shares, it has to issue ~5.6B of new shares to eBay (vs 590B FD GME shares today), giving eBay 90%+ of the post-deal shares (+ $28 billion of cash to eBay owners).
To be clear, GME is proposing that eBay acquire GME, with GME owning 10% of the CombinedCo.
In 2026, eBay is expected to generate $2.8B of free cash flow vs $500 mm by GameStop (15% of combinedco).
eBay revenue is expected to GROW 9% in 2026 while GME's is expected to shrink 1% (and has shrunk >40% in 5 years).
So eBay brings 85% of the cash flow and is growing, and gets 90% of a newco that is dragged down by GameStop's declining revenue.
To compensate for owning a lower quality CombinedCo, it levers up and pays legacy eBay $62/share in cash.
However, that cash is financed by the quality of eBay's business, not GameStop.
eBay doesn't need GameStop to recap its existing business - it could do so and continue to own 100% of the better business.
Ultimately, this is GME attempting to swap into a better business by selling itself to eBay, not vice versa.
Everyone knows this deal won't happen, Ryan Cohen included.

Retail investors don’t move the price, it’s market makers like Citadel calling the shots.

@compound248 @andrewrsorkin Unless the GME share price was marked incorrectly and naked shorting of the company was rampant

If $GME is going to acquire $EBAY, this is how I expect it to go:
Unlike traditional activist campaigns that unfold over 18-24 months, this timeline could compress into roughly 12 months from first trade to full control, leveraging GME's enormous cash position to build a stake so large so fast that the board has no viable defense.
Phase 1 (Weeks 1-8): Dual stealth accumulation to ~9.8% combined ($4.3B) via dark pools before any public filing (dual as in, GameStop and Ryan Cohen separately and together). Perhaps other partners and affiliates accumulate during this phase as well (Nat?). I believe this phase is over.
Phase 2 (Weeks 8-10): Dual 13D filings plus a public white paper; expected EBAY pop of 15-30% and GME pop of 10-20%
Phase 3 (Weeks 11-20): Proxy fight for 3-5 board seats at EBAYs next annual meeting while building to 15-20% combined stake
Phase 4 (Months 5-12): Board control, install Ryan Cohen as Chair, execute cost cuts, redirect FCF to buybacks, etc
The stealth phase is compressed to 8 weeks because GME's cash allows aggressive accumulation at 15-20% of daily volume across multiple prime brokers and dark pools. Both GME and Ryan Cohen accumulate independently to 4.9% each, staying below the 5% 13D trigger. HSR filings happen on Day 1 but are confidential. By Week 8, the combined position is ~9.8% ($4.3B deployed) and nobody knows. The dual 13D filings at Week 8-10 hit the market like a bomb: the largest shareholder bloc in eBay, backed by $9B+ in additional firepower, with a public white paper detailing the value creation plan. From there, continued accumulation during the proxy fight period pushes the combined stake to 15-20%, making the proxy contest a mathematical certainty. Board control follows, and the transformation begins.

@ProofOfWar @TickerTrapper @ApeCrayonsYummy How's the % of the float short a meaningful metric if the float means nothing? Why are low float small cap stocks the targeted most for pump and dumps?
English

@TickerTrapper @Bezurk1 @ApeCrayonsYummy Spot on ^ its scary how lost thus guy is, with such confidence. You think you are buying shares in any company ever from real people? 🤣 All NYSE/NASDAQ liquidity are from MM's. The float means nothing for a short squeeze. Just SI% and Option Gamma ramping.
English

@Bezurk1 @ProofOfWar @ApeCrayonsYummy Perry is right you are fucking braindead. You are so lost if you think people actually custody shares now a days. Retail just buys IOUs from market makers. Market makers hold all the liquidity. You are never buying shares from "people" unless you are using OTC dark pools.
English

@ProofOfWar @ApeCrayonsYummy "Float means nothing" besides being half the equation? You know nothing of short squeezes, pump or dumps, or the market if you can't understand it is easier for someone to purchase 30mil shares from a small handful of people than 500mil+ spread between a large number of people.

@Bezurk1 @ApeCrayonsYummy PRICE X SHARES OUTSTANDING.
$1 X 1Billion
$1Billion X 1
BOTH EQUAL $1 BILLION.
Float means nothing. Market cap and the capital deployed to induce a short squeeze imposed the same marginal effects. You are seriously a fucking retard. Get checked out.
English

@ProofOfWar @ApeCrayonsYummy Hey dingus, what is the equation for market cap?
English

@Bezurk1 @ApeCrayonsYummy You a retard. Float is irrelevant. Market cap is the only metric that matters.
Hence a company could have 1 share avaliable for $1billion per share.
Or 1billion shares outanding at $1 per share, and investors would pay the same price to acquire all the shares.

@darkgreencap That's not a valuation metric? How are you pricing the stock?

$AMC
Part of me thinks they will run it up hard to get your shares. They know that we know what’s going on. If they run it to $100 in an instant and then run their media pieces I could see how it could give them a better chance of people being tricked into it being a short squeeze.
Just be prepared for anything.
A slow run up would give a lot of people time to see how undervalued their shares still are.
We don’t know how much control they really have but we also know they don’t have full control

$AMC They can never stop talking about our beloved #AMC. I would choose AMC and this community than to be like @matt_kohrs any day! Something about being anti AMC and @CEOAdam that ages you. I see it with the other “influencers” as well. Deceit ages you!
