GameStop Proposes Non-Binding Offer to Acquire eBay
Summary
On May 3, 2026, GameStop Corp. submitted a non-binding proposal to acquire all outstanding shares of eBay Inc. at $125.00 per share, comprising 50% cash and 50% GameStop common stock. The offer represents a 46% premium to eBay's unaffected closing price on February 4, 2026. GameStop plans to take $2 billion of annualized costs out within twelve months of close, which would increase eBay's diluted GAAP earnings per share from continuing operations from $4.26 to $7.79 in year one. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including receipt of shareholder approval of both companies and required antitrust approvals. GameStop had $9.4 billion in cash and liquid investments as of January 31, 2026, and has secured a highly-confident letter from TD Securities for up to $20 billion in financing.
