Elliott is correct. To bad the bod is as delusional as the ceo.
“a separation of Stubhub and Classifieds”
Elliott Management seems focused on these two things. One begins to suspect that EM stands to profit handsomely from the separation of these entities from eBay, and that otherwise they have no interest in what happens at eBay. I have no doubt that “Bain-trained” Wenig understands this perfectly. eBay has plenty of problems but I do not believe “a separation of Stubhub and Classifieds” will do anything to fix them.
