## **GameStop Wants to Buy eBay**

GameStop is a well-known retail company that sells video games. A few years ago, it was losing money and closing stores. But its CEO Ryan Cohen is an **ambitious entrepreneur** who had a plan. He used the company's cash to invest, and now GameStop has nearly $9 billion in savings.

This week, GameStop made a surprising offer to buy eBay for $56 billion. The offer gives eBay **shareholders** $125 per **share** — about 20% more than the current price. Cohen is **optimistic**: he believes eBay is undervalued and could bring strong **returns**. He wants to turn it into a business worth hundreds of billions. To fund the deal, a bank agreed to provide nearly $20 billion.

However, many **traders** and analysts think the move is **reckless**. It is hard to **assess** this deal as realistic — GameStop is worth only $12 billion, while eBay is worth $46 billion. Buying a company four times bigger than yourself is a huge **venture**. The market agrees: eBay's **stock** only rose to $113, far below the $125 offer. People are **pessimistic** that the deal will actually happen.
