In the least surprising news of the day, Bloomberg reported that eBay (EBAY) has rejected GameStop's (GME) $56 billion takeover offer.
As someone said about the cash-and-stock deal, the stock portion would require GameStop to issue $28 billion in shares to pay for it. The video game and collectibles retailer’s stock is currently worth $10.3 billion. Forget the debt component; the stock portion of the transaction screamed dead on arrival.
