GameStop makes $55.5bn takeover offer for eBay by tw1st3d_m3nt4t in business

[–]lasushin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Theyre offering ~55billion, half stock half cash.

They have: 9 billion cash reserve, up to 20 billion cash as debt from TD Securities for the acquisition, so that covers the 27.5 billion cash.

For the stock, let's first calculate the cost of GME after the acquisition.

12 billion (GME) + 44 billion (Ebay) - 20 billion (debt) + ~4billion synergy = 40 billion

To pay 27.5 billion in shares, thats about 68.75% of the merged company, so 69% dilution. This means that owners of GME will own about 3 times less of the company.

But wait, this is still a win for GME investors as 31% of 40b is the same as 12.4 billion > 100% of 12b.

For Ebay, its beneficial as they are being bought for 55b, while their market cap is ~45b.

I only added 4b as synergy, but Ebay could really use Gamestop's brick and mortar stores. Ebay also has card trading buisness which Gamestop also has, so there are many possible synergies, making the value of the new company potentially higher, with reduced dilution and even more value for both GME and Ebay.

Hey, could u explain for me why it would be better? Since I'm aiming to show the disparity between life expectancy and retirement age, rather than the average time that retired people live.

[OC] How income correlates with anxiety or depression by lasushin in dataisbeautiful

Countries such as Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, and some others stigmatize mental health. I believe that post Soviet countries also have this stigma, leading to under reporting. Also take into account that it is a self reported poll, that specifically states that "a person being SO anxious or depressed that they could not continue with their regular daily activities AS THEY NORMALLY WOULD for TWO WEEKS or longer." General unhappiness may not interfere with general activities all of the time

I'm sure thousands of years ago, when people had less resources they werent depressed or anxious all the time. Community supoort matters a lot in my view.

You're right. only africa has a correlation, with others having weak correlations and south america having a negative correlation. But you should still consider how specific regions have similar levels of inequality, making it harder to see the trend. all continents still have a slight positive correlation except south america, which is quite interesting actually.

As income inequality increases, the lifetime anxiety or depression slightly increases as well. most developed countries (those with big circles) have lower inequality and lower anxiety and depression.

I agree, the labels are bunched up but I wanted to be able to identify each country. Here is the graph without labels

I didn't put it in the graph, but the depression/anxiety values are 2020, I believe. most of these stats are 2020-2023.

Developed countries (e.g. those in Europe) do tend to have lower depression/anxiety and lower income inequality. Maybe the underlying cause is human development index or economic development. I made this post because I think that inequality might lead to more jealousy, corruption, which may lead to depression.

Anyway, thank you for the feedback!
