GameStop (NYSE:GME) holds close to cash levels after company guides for $600 million in EBITDA

GameStop Corp. ended the week facing a new market test. Shares now trade less like a typical meme stock and more like a leveraged play on its cash pile, a raised profit outlook and Ryan Cohen’s attempt to buy eBay Inc.. GameStop shares ended Friday at $21.76, gaining 75 cents, or 3.57%. The stock climbed again in late trading, up 1.96% to $22.187 after the company said it’s targeting adjusted EBITDA above $600 million for the fiscal year ending Jan. 30, 2027. That’s up from $345.4 million for fiscal 2025.

eBay Stock Jumps After GameStop’s $56 Billion Bid — But Investors Aren’t Sold

eBay Stock Jumps After GameStop’s $56 Billion Bid — But Investors Aren’t Sold

SAN JOSE, California, May 4, 2026, 04:06 GameStop Corp. launched a surprise $55.5 billion bid for eBay Inc. on Monday, offering $125 per share in cash and stock and thrusting eBay into an active takeover battle. Shares of eBay did climb in premarket hours, but the stock never came close to matching the offer price—clear evidence that investors remain skeptical about the videogame retailer’s ability to pull off such a deal.

GameStop’s $56 Billion eBay Bid Hits Wall Street Doubt as Ryan Cohen Pushes Deal

GameStop’s $56 Billion eBay Bid Hits Wall Street Doubt as Ryan Cohen Pushes Deal

EBay stock jumped in premarket action Monday, though prices remained far under GameStop Corp.’s $125-per-share bid—an indication that Wall Street isn’t buying the idea of the smaller videogame chain pulling off a $56 billion acquisition. GameStop slipped around 3%. That gap tells you everything. GameStop wants to pivot out of its fading mall legacy and become an online commerce player. But eBay clocks in at close to four times GameStop’s market cap, so the move stands out—a smaller public firm going after a much heftier target.

US Stock Market Today: Dow Futures Fall as Oil Shock Tests Wall Street’s Record Run

US Stock Market Today: Dow Futures Fall as Oil Shock Tests Wall Street’s Record Run

U.S. stock futures slipped early Monday, with a new burst of tension in the Middle East sending oil prices up and putting Wall Street’s record streak at risk. Dow futures dropped 181 points, or 0.36%, S&P 500 futures edged down 0.08%, and Nasdaq 100 futures hovered near flat at about 6:50 a.m. ET, according to market data. This jump is front and center as investors weigh robust earnings against the sudden flare-up in oil prices. Brent and U.S. West Texas Intermediate each surged roughly 5% after Iran’s Fars news agency claimed two missiles struck a U.S. warship near Jask, along the Strait of Hormuz — a critical chokepoint for oil. Reuters couldn’t verify the report, and Axios pointed to a senior U.S. official who denied any U.S. ship had been hit.

eBay Stock Jumps After GameStop Takeover Report Raises a $46 Billion Question

SAN JOSE, California, May 2, 2026, 06:03 PDT eBay Inc. shares surged late Friday, fueled by a Wall Street Journal report that GameStop Corp. is gearing up to make a bid for the online marketplace—a bold move from Ryan Cohen’s company, which is dwarfed in size by eBay.

GameStop’s Reported eBay Takeover Bid Puts Ryan Cohen’s $100 Billion Plan on the Clock

GameStop’s Reported eBay Takeover Bid Puts Ryan Cohen’s $100 Billion Plan on the Clock

GameStop Corp. is gearing up to make a bid for eBay Inc., the Wall Street Journal reported Friday, citing sources said to be familiar with the situation. CEO Ryan Cohen is after a larger platform than just video-game retail. eBay shares jumped roughly 14% after hours, while GameStop added 4%, according to Reuters. The timing is key, since GameStop’s rumored eBay takeover bid puts a $12 billion retailer up against a roughly $46 billion online marketplace. Public-company acquisitions of targets nearly four times their own size don’t come along often—they tend to hinge on hefty debt, issuing new stock, or a mix of both.

eBay Inc. Stock Slides 5% as Depop Deal Faces UK Test Before Earnings

eBay Inc. dropped 5.3% Friday, finishing at $97.94. The online marketplace is now headed into a tricky patch, facing regulatory scrutiny and an earnings release.

So far, the regulator hasn’t kicked off a formal Phase 1 review—the initial step in its merger process.
