eBay - Analysts' Recommendations and Stock Price Forecast (2025)

MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

Should I Buy eBay Stock? EBAY Pros and Cons Explained

These pros and cons were generated based on recent news and financial data from MarketBeat in order to provide readers with the fastest and most accurate insights. They were last updated on Friday, December 13, 2024. Please send any questions or comments about these eBay pros and cons to contact@marketbeat.com.

eBay
Bull Case

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in eBay Inc.:

eBay Inc. recently declared a quarterly dividend of $0.27, which translates to an annualized dividend of $1.08, providing a yield of 1.69%. This consistent dividend payment can be attractive for income-focused investors.
The current stock price of eBay Inc. is $63.90, reflecting a 1.2% increase recently. This upward movement may indicate positive market sentiment and potential for further growth.
eBay Inc. has a solid market capitalization of $30.61 billion, which suggests a stable financial foundation and the ability to invest in growth opportunities.
Analyst ratings show a consensus of "Hold" with a target price averaging $62.63, indicating that while there may not be immediate bullish sentiment, the stock is considered stable with potential for appreciation.
Insider trading activity, including recent sales by executives, can indicate confidence in the company's future performance, as insiders often have a deep understanding of the company's operations and market position.

eBay
Bear Case

Investors should be bearish about investing in eBay Inc. for these reasons:

Insider selling has been notable, with executives selling a total of 52,641 shares valued at $3,370,974 in the last ninety days. This could raise concerns about the executives' confidence in the company's future performance.
The stock has experienced fluctuations, with a 12-month high of $67.80 and a low of $40.16, indicating volatility that may deter risk-averse investors.
eBay Inc. has a relatively low insider ownership of 0.38%, which may suggest a lack of alignment between management and shareholder interests.
Recent analyst reports have shown mixed sentiments, with some firms lowering their price targets, which could indicate uncertainty about the company's growth prospects.
The company's debt-to-equity ratio stands at 1.14, suggesting that eBay Inc. has a moderate level of debt compared to its equity, which could pose risks in times of economic downturns.
