On this episode of Stock Movers:
- GameStop (GME) shares drop. EBay Inc. rejected a $56 billion takeover offer from GameStop Corp. Chief Executive Officer Ryan Cohen, describing the bid as “neither credible nor attractive.” EBay’s board turned down the offer due to “uncertainty” around the financing plan, operational risks, and GameStop’s governance, among other factors.
- Under Armour (UAA) sinks. Guidance for this year missed Wall Street projections, weighed down by exiting a partnership with NBA star Stephen Curry and a financial hit from the conflict in the Middle East. The guidance shows that Under Armour’s turnaround is still a work in progress. On top of persistent sales declines, the company has been navigating the impact of tariffs and the split from Curry
- Wendy's (WEN) shares jump after the Financial Times reported that Nelson Peltz’s Trian Fund Management is seeking investor backing for a bid to take the burger chain operator private. Trian in recent weeks has held discussions with outside investors, including in the Middle East, about financing a potential takeover of the US fast-food chain.
