Seasonally-adjusted EPS has been a consistent stair-step up for 2 years. Declining revenue does not matter; they're squeezing more profit out of the revenue that's left than they were out of the gobs of revenue they had before. Th

I don't know what your issue with Gamestop is, but calling it "a sinking company" is wildly inaccurate, bordering on delusion.

Well, how much more value? It seems like an awful lot of work to make thousands, if not millions, of shareholders very angry with you, if he's just adding cents-per-dollar to his net worth. I'm not saying that that isn't his

Why wouldn't they? Before he showed up, Gamestop had years of negative earnings per share. They haven't had a negative EPS quarter in almost 2 years, now. That seems like a serious turnaround.

Well, look at what you can already do with their trading card program. You could just list cards yourself on eBay, of course. You could drop them off at a shipper to send them off. You could keep them at home while you're waiting for a

Eh. The capital was provided by various share offerings and, most recently, a bond sale, which retail probably and definitely did not buy, respectively. But here's the fun part. All of those issuances were made during periods of weirdl

Had similar issues. eBay being a mediator for your money but not the actual items is maybe inherently a dysfunctional system. They don't make any representations as to the accuracy of a listing, but will happily pass judgment on whethe

They haven't been on the verge of bankruptcy since they paid off their own loans. This deal will actually be the closest they've been to bankruptcy since like 2022, because they'll actually have interest payments to make.

Total revenue declined because they closed stores. But income went up because those stores were losing money. They also made a lot off of interest on their cash, but that is going to get cut by about 30% if this goes through, as the combine

You asked what could be improved with Gamestop. Public knowledge of Gamestop locations is a boon if people don't know where your existing fulfillment centers are.

Can you tell me where your local eBay fulfillment center is? I can tell you where my local Gamestop is (no, not that one, the other one).

That's true. But they also have a $6 billion cash cushion to try to service that debt.

It depends. If Gamestop is able to find the efficiencies that the CEO is claiming, EPS jumps between 50 and 100 percent. Gamestop shareholders get diluted down to owning a smaller piece of a much bigger earnings pie. That's if you don&

In this case, if the deal goes through at the price given, eBay's liquid assets are untouched. The cash portion is paid out entirely through the loan and Gamestop's cash.

I don't think this is a serious assessment. For years, the core business of both companies has been facilitating the flow of used goods. Gamestop has moved strongly into collectibles recently, with a partnership with collectible gradin

Must have been closer to 20 years, 84(+) didn't come out until 2004. Gonna be pedantic/crotchety about this because I got into advanced math classes but it was my brother who got the 84+ (I had to settle for a 83+). Guess who'
