Ryan Cohen says he's putting in $500M of his own money into the $GME $EBAY deal and also addresses the media hate towards GameStop in newest interview 👀
BREAKING:
Ryan Cohen revealed for the first time that he is going to put $500M of his own capital into the $EBAY bid
He also revealed that he has spoken to institutional investors prior to the upcoming Schedule TO from $GME
Since 2020, eBay has bought back roughly 38% of its total float. 😯
Their recent price action has been built on aggressive buybacks, not actual business growth. Management basically spent billions to artificially inflate the stock.
2020 Float: ~718M shares
2026 Float: ~444M shares
But they can't keep buying back shares forever.
If they keep buying back shares, they leave themselves vulnerable to hostile takeovers - exactly like the one GameStop is attempting right now.
If they stop buying back shares, they're forced to actually innovate or watch their stock price drop.
Checkmate. ♟️
$GME $EBAY
Thank you @ryancohen for properly turning $GME around and treating it like it is your own money (because it is). If it wasn’t for your actions, GameStop chart would look the same as what @CEOAdam has done to the $AMC chart.
This company is trading at $9.5B market cap with these fundamentals. And this is typically their worst quarter of the year.
There is no denying the overt suppression.
$GME
Wow Gamestop's collectibles brought in the highest profit margins and grew 65% YoY with a $137.4M increase
“The increase was driven primarily by continued growth in our collectibles category. Consistent with our focus on the growth of collectibles, we continued to expand the store space and roll out new fixtures dedicated to the category to support in-store collectibles sales.”
Just imagine the growth when Ryan Cohen has complete direct access to eBay's 135M user base and platform 💥
