"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."
