AMC jumps on record revenue as CEO rebuts doomsayers

AMC Entertainment shares surged after the company posted a quarterly record revenue of $1.6 billion and an all-time high adjusted EBITDA, with CEO Adam Aron pushing back on prognosticators of doom. The beat was helped by big releases like The Super Mario Galaxy Movie and The Odyssey, plus domestic ticket revenue up about 11% and European attendance up 18%. The company has funded a balance sheet through public offerings (diluting existing shareholders) but remains a closely watched meme stock; Aron had taken a 25% pay reduction in 2024. Year-to-date the stock is up about 49%, though the five-year drop from its 2021 high around $450 remains steep.

eBay rebuffs GameStop's $55.5B bid, citing financing risk and integration hurdles

eBay rejected GameStop’s $55.5 billion takeover offer as “neither credible nor attractive,” citing financing uncertainty and the leverage/operational risks of a merger. GameStop, which owns about 5% of eBay, offered $125 per share in cash and stock and argued its 1,600-location network could bolster eBay’s authentication and fulfillment, but the bid’s financing concerns and the gap in scale between the two companies led to the rejection; the offer followed GameStop’s meme-stock surge and GameStop did not immediately responds to comment.

Cohen Says He Isn’t Passionate About GameStop, Eyes eBay Takeover

GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen says he wasn’t passionate about GameStop and is pursuing a bid to take over eBay, proposing a mix of cash and stock but lacking the cash to fund a roughly $56 billion offer with only about $9.4 billion in assets. He’s begun selling GameStop memorabilia on eBay to raise funds, but the plan faces uphill odds as eBay remains healthy while GameStop continues to struggle with store closures and shrinking international operations.

SpaceX's IPO Could Kick Off Meme-Stock Trading, Analysts Say

SpaceX's blockbuster IPO could resemble meme-stock trading due to its strong narrative, a loyal founder-following, and a valuation boosted by future potential. With a large portion of shares slated for retail investors and post‑lockup volatility expected, analysts warn the stock could be highly volatile as social momentum and new investor interest collide with traditional demand, in a deal potentially aiming to raise up to $75 billion at about a $1.75 trillion valuation.

GameStop Rally Fueled by CEO's 'Very Large' Acquisition Hint

GameStop (GME) rose around 6.5% on Monday after CEO Ryan Cohen said he wants to transform the retailer with a very large acquisition of a consumer company, a deal he did not name but which could lift the company’s market cap from about $10.5 billion to over $100 billion.
