LPO (US.EBAY) Respinge oferta GameStop

eBay a respins marti oferta de preluare in valoare de 56 mld. USD din partea GameStop, considerand-o "nici credibila, nici atractiva", potrivit scrisorii presedintelui board-ului, Paul Pressler, catre CEO-ul GameStop, Ryan Cohen. Oferta, jumatate cash si jumatate actiuni, propunea un pret de 125 USD pe actiune, semnificativ peste cotatia curenta de circa 107 USD. Decizia a fost luata avand in vedere perspectivele de stand-alone ale eBay, incertitudinea privind finantarea tranzactiei si aspecte legate de guvernanta GameStop. Respingerea ar putea conduce la o oferta ostila, Ryan Cohen anuntand anterior ca este dispus sa se adreseze direct actionarilor eBay. Actiunile eBay au crescut cu 24% de la inceputul anului.

Amazon, Berkshire Hathaway Could Be Among Top Payers of New Minimum Tax

A handful of large companies, such as Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (US.BRKB) and Amazon.com Inc., (US.AMZN) could bear most of the burden from a 15% corporate minimum tax President Biden signed into law last month.

The tax, which takes effect in January, is the largest revenue-raising provision in Democrats’ climate, healthcare and tax law. The provision, projected to generate $222 billion over a decade, alters tax incentives and complicates corporate tax decisions. Democrats aimed the provision at large companies that report profits to shareholders but pay relatively little tax.&nbsp

The new system, known as the book minimum tax, starts with income reported on the financial statement, not traditional taxable income. Differences between the two—the treatment of stock-based compensation, for example—could drive a company into paying the new tax. According to the UNC estimates, Berkshire Hathaway would have paid the most in 2021, at $8.3 billion—or about a quarter of the estimated total—followed by Amazon at $2.8 billion and Ford Motor Co. (US.F) at $1.9 billion. Add the next three companies and that reflects more than half the $31.8 billion total: AT&amp T Inc. at $1.5 billion, eBay (US.EBAY) Inc. at $1.3 billion, and Moderna Inc. (US.MRNA) at $1.2 billion.
