Executive summary

eBay operates an online marketplace where individuals and businesses list items for others to purchase, either at a fixed cost or through auctions. Popular categories include collectibles, trading cards, vehicle parts, fashion and electronics, and the platform also provides payments, shipping tools and advertising services to its merchants. Shoppers in many countries use it to find new, used and refurbished goods.

The company earns revenue mainly from fees charged on completed transactions, plus advertising and other services for merchants. Over the last twelve months it reached $12.0 billion, growing at 4.3% a year across the last three years. The operating margin is 20.5%, and the business earns a profit of 26% on the capital invested in it. It carries net debt of 1.2 times EBITDA. The company pays a dividend with a yield of 1.0%.

StocksXray gives Ebay Inc an X-Ray Score of 44 out of 100 (high confidence), ahead of 28% of the S&P 500 stocks in its sector. Its strongest lens is profitability (51) and its weakest is valuation (32).

Our fair value blend is $113.75 (range $107.37 to $120.22). At $120.28 the stock trades 6% above that blend, so the label is "Fair" with medium model uncertainty. Fair value is a range, not a price target.

How to read this report

Every number comes from SEC filings, end-of-day prices and the StocksXray models described on the methodology page. The X-Ray Score ranks each metric against the company's own sector. Fair value blends three models and carries a typical error of about 40%, so treat it as a range. Analyst ratings, price targets and earnings-call summaries are not part of this report. Educational research, not financial advice; read the disclaimer.
