    The stock half wouldn’t even really be dilutive, since they would add the balance sheet of eBay to their own

    There’s a debt of the other 25+ billion that gets added to them. That’s coming from somewhere, because it goes to eBay’s shareholders, not to eBay.

      The debt is only $20B, even then it still works out to about where it’s trading now, so still not really dilutive. And it’s still under 50% leverage, which is honestly pretty typical for a large company. Assuming Cohen actually has a plan to boost profits, that debt isn’t particularly concerning.
