GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen lifts eBay stake to about 7.8% and signals takeover push
GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen has raised the company’s stake in eBay to about 7.8% and waived a large performance award as he focuses on advancing an acquisition effort, including plans to take his proposal directly to eBay shareholders. The move is presented as a defined strategic push rather than a tentative signal. Although eBay’s market value is about five times GameStop’s, GME has $8.4 billion in cash and total liquidity near $9.7 billion, giving it leverage in talks. The development is framed as a meaningful near-term catalyst for GameStop shares.

Norwegian Cruise Line (NCLH) sharply lowered its fiscal 2026 adjusted EPS guidance to $1.45–$1.79 on May 4, citing Middle East tensions that lifted expected annual fuel costs to $782 per metric ton. The company also pointed to softer demand for European itineraries and execution missteps that led to shorter Caribbean sailings and bookings below expectations. Although Q1 EPS of $0.23 beat forecasts, revenue of $2.33 billion missed estimates. The stock fell 8.6% on the day and is down 8.7% year to date, significantly trailing the S&P 500.
