GameStop’s rejected May 2026 $55–56 billion cash-and-stock bid for eBay at $125 per share continues to anchor trader consensus that no acquisition will occur, reflected in the 93.5% market-implied probability of “No.” eBay’s board dismissed the non-binding proposal as lacking credibility given GameStop’s roughly $10 billion market capitalization and financing uncertainties, despite the acquirer’s $9.7 billion cash position and record Q1 2026 operating income. GameStop has since increased its eBay stake to nearly 10% while Cohen waived performance pay to prioritize the deal, yet no board engagement or revised terms have materialized. Upcoming catalysts include GameStop’s September 2026 earnings and any Schedule 13D amendments or proxy filings that could test shareholder support.
