"GME's $56B unsolicited bid for EBAY looks like poorly structured empire-building—non-binding “highly confident” debt, stock funding requiring unissued/unauthorized shares, and a proxy/financing argument that doesn’t clearly hold up—so this bid is likely more self-serving than shareholder value-accretive."
"EBAY is in a healthier position than the takeover narrative suggests, with a turnaround back toward its heritage (used goods/parts/collectibles), 17% first-quarter sales growth, ~135M active buyers, and a stock gain of 130%+ since early 2024."
"META’s Reality Labs metaverse bet looks like a structural value destroyer—Reality Labs operating losses have risen every year (from $4.5B in 2019 to $19.2B in 2025, about $88B total over ~7 years) while Horizon Worlds has failed to scale (peaking at a few hundred thousand monthly active users and daily active users falling to ~900), so investors should treat the metaverse spend as a major ongoing overhang rather than a near-term growth engine."
