-- 週一早盤，eBay (EBAY) 股價上漲，此前電子遊戲零售商 GameStop (GME) 提出以現金加股票的方式收購這家電商公司，交易總額約為 555 億美元。 GameStop 目前持有 eBay 5% 的股份，該公司在周日發布的聲明中表示，已提出以每股 125 美元的價格收購 eBay。這項不具約束力的收購方案採用現金加股票的等額組合，較 2 月 4 日 eBay 的收盤價溢價 46%，而 2 月 4 日正是 GameStop 開始增持 eBay 股份之日。 eBay 股價在最近的盤前交易中上漲 8.9%，而 GameStop 股價下跌 2.9%。 GameStop 計劃透過其資產負債表上的現金和流動投資組合來支付此潛在交易的現金部分，截至 1 月底，這些資產總額約為 94 億美元，此外，該公司還計劃從 TD Securities 獲得高達 200 億美元的潛在融資。 在周日致eBay董事長保羅·普雷斯勒的一封信中，GameStop首席執行官瑞安·科恩表示，這家電子遊戲零售商的目標是在潛在交易完成後的一年內，為eBay削減20億美元的年度成本，其中包括12億美元的銷售和營銷費用。科恩表示，預計這些成本削減將使eBay持續經營業務的每股收益在第一年從4.26美元增加到7.79美元。 科恩同時持有GameStop約9%的股份，他提議擔任合併後公司的執行長。他在信中寫道：“我不會領取任何薪水、現金獎金或巨額離職補償金——我的報酬將完全取決於合併後公司的業績。” 在接受《華爾街日報》採訪時，科恩表示，如果eBay不接受，他準備發起代理權爭奪戰，並直接向股東提交該提案。已聯繫eBay尋求置評，但尚未收到回應。 上週，eBay公佈了第一季持續經營業務調整後每股收益為1.66美元，高於去年同期的1.37美元。營收成長19%至30.9億美元。當時，該公司表示預計第二季持續經營業務調整後每股收益將在1.46美元至1.51美元之間，營收將在29.7億美元至30.3億美元之間。 FactSet目前的市場普遍預期是，eBay第二季非GAAP每股收益為1.51美元，營收為30.1億美元。

Research Alert: CFRA Keeps Hold Opinion On Adss Of Wpp - Soft Q1, Recovery Expected In 2h
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:WPP's Q1 2026 net like-for-like (LFL) revenue declined 7% Y/Y to GBP2B, broadly in line with expectations and representing 23% of full-year forecasts, consistent with historical seasonality. The decline reflects prior client losses and cautious client spending, with management guiding for a mid- to high-single-digit decline in 1H 2026 and recovery in 2H 2026 as new business ramps. Global Integrated Agencies remained the key drag, down 7% Y/Y, led by WPP Media (-9% Y/Y), although trends improved sequentially from Q4, indicating early stabilization. Public Relations (-3% Y/Y) and Specialist Agencies (-2% Y/Y) were more resilient, supported by stronger new business in North America and stable niche demand. We maintain 2026 revenue at GBP13.8B and 2027 at GBP14B, and EPADS at GBP3.20 and GBP3.25, reflecting near-term margin pressure from operating deleverage and incentives, with recovery dependent on new business conversion, cost actions, and stabilization in client spending. We keep our Hold rating.
