GameStop’s Ryan Cohen Considers Scrapping $56B eBay Takeover for Store Partnership

Three months after Ryan Cohen startled Wall Street with an unsolicited $56 billion bid for eBay Inc. (NASDAQ:EBAY), GameStop Corp. (NYSE:GME)'s CEO appears to be backing away from it. Bloomberg reported on August 10 that Cohen is considering withdrawing the offer entirely and replacing it with something far more modest: a partnership or joint venture. Following reports describing the probable change, GameStop Corp. (NYSE:GME) shares climbed 1.6% in early trade, while eBay Inc. (NASDAQ:EBAY) shares sank 2.2%. The turnaround caps a saga where the stock market gave its verdict on the deal's worth

GameStop is considering dropping its $55.5bn takeover approach for eBay and looking at a partnership or joint venture instead, Bloomberg reported, citing unnamed sources.
