Gamestop, the internet phenomenon of the pandemic period, made an unexpected $56 billion acquisition offer to Ebay, one of the most popular companies of the 2000s!
Ebay, a second-hand and auction site… Ebay, which was a huge phenomenon in the 2000s, was in trouble in the face of increasing competition. Gamestop, on the other hand, became an internet phenomenon for traders staying at home during the pandemic period. Gamestop was in trouble after closing stores one after the other.
Today, Gamestop took over 5 percent of Ebay and offered to buy $55.6 billion at $125 per share.
Gamestop began buying Ebay shares on February 4. That day, Ebay offered a 46 percent higher price than its shares.
The purchase offer was announced yesterday evening. Gamestop CEO Ryan Cohen said they have 1,600 stores in the US, which could mean access for Ebay.
