Ryan Cohen reveals how he transformed GameStop from a money-losing business into a profitable powerhouse with nearly 9 billion dollars in cash. In this must-watch interview with Anthony Pompliano, Cohen breaks down the current GameStop strategy, focusing on 1,600 US stores, collectibles, trading cards, and refurbished tech while slashing costs and delivering strong profits.
Discover the bold vision behind the potential eBay acquisition as Cohen explains why this ecommerce giant is his next target. Drawing from his experience building Chewy into a massive success, he shares plans for massive cost cuts, revenue growth, live commerce, and turning eBay into a far larger business. Cohen contrasts his owner-operator approach with what he calls the risk-free corporate bureaucrats currently running the show, highlighting differences in compensation, skin in the game, and true accountability to shareholders.
This conversation dives deep into business strategy, capital allocation, and the future of retail and ecommerce. Cohen discusses Bitcoin holdings, balance sheet strength, proxy battles, and his commitment to results over personal perks.
