GameStop has pledged to continue its proposed acquisition of eBay, signaling that the video-game retailer remains committed to the deal despite growing skepticism in the markets.
The company stated on Friday that it expects to generate adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization sufficient to support the transaction, though specific financial figures were not disclosed in the initial report.
The reaffirmation comes as speculative traders increasingly doubt the feasibility of the merger.
Prediction market data from Kalshi shows a declining probability of the deal being finalized, with participants expressing skepticism about GameStop's ability to complete such a major acquisition.
Contracts launched earlier in the week have seen betting activity shift away from a successful outcome, reflecting a broader loss of confidence among retail and speculative investors.
This development marks a critical juncture in the ongoing saga between the two e-commerce entities.
